Bella Donna (Remastered Reissue)

Stevie Nicks, the legendary singer-songwriter whose highly acclaimed 30 year solo career includes seven studio albums, iconic hits, and record sales in the millions, will release newly remastered versions of her first two solo albums, ‘Bella Donna’ and ‘The Wild Heart.’

Nicks joined producer Jimmy Iovine to begin recording songs for her solo debut, ‘Bella Donna’ following the recording of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Tusk’ and subsequent tour. The 1981 album was quickly certified platinum. Today, the album is 4x platinum thanks to Nicks classics like ‘Edge Of Seventeen,’ ‘Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around’ (with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and ‘Leather And Lace’ (with Don Henley).

Nicks returned in 1983 with her follow-up, ‘The Wild Heart,’ which peaked at #5 on the album chart and has been certified double platinum. The album produced hits like ‘Stand Back,’ ‘Nightbird’ and ‘I Will Run To You,’ which features Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

‘I’ve had so much fun reliving the making of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart while working on the liner notes and listening to all of the alternate versions and demo takes,’ says Nicks. ‘The liner notes are so much more than liner notes. They are like a little novel. I tried to make whoever reads this feel like they were there. I think…I succeeded….’
