IN between duties with her full-time job in Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks delivered a brace of iconic rock albums, now lovingly remastered and repackaged.

Nicks wrote the lion’s share of Bella Donna during the Tusk sessions, repeating the task for Wild Heart on the Mirage Tour. Both albums present a master-class in the AOR genre, supplying a soundtrack to the early Eighties.

Indeed, Bella Donna spawned four substantial hits: the Tom Petty-penned duet Stop Dragging My Heart Around, Edge Of Seventeen, After The Glitter Fades and the Don Henley collaboration Leather And Lace. Interestingly, Toto’s Steve Lukather and Prince contributed to Wild Heart’s biggest hit, Stand Back, while the truly wonderful power ballad If Anyone Falls and Nightbird charted too.

Both albums are complemented with alternate versions, B-sides, demos, unreleased tracks and soundtrack rarities. Of these, Sleeping Angel came from Fast Times At Ridgemont High, a truly shocking movie with a wonderful soundtrack that also featured Donna Summer.

A live concert recording from 1982 accompanies the Bella Donna collection, with selections from the parent album and Fleetwood Mac's Dreams, Sara and Rhiannon.
