Stevie Nicks, the legendary singer/songwriter whose 30-year solo career includes seven studio albums and multiple iconic hits outside of her work with Fleetwood Mac, will release newly remastered deluxe editions with never-before-released live and recorded music from her first two solo albums, Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.
Bella Donna: Deluxe Edition will be available on November 4 as a three-CD set, while The Wild Heart: Deluxe Edition is a two-CD set. On the same day, newly remastered versions of the original albums will also be available on LP and CD. The music will be available digitally and through streaming services as well.
“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.”
Bella Donna, originally released in 1981, was certified platinum rather quickly. Today, the album is 4x platinum thanks to classics like “Edge of Seventeen,” “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” (with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and “Leather and Lace” (with Don Henley). The new Bella Donna: Deluxe Edition will uncover unreleased versions of “Edge of Seventeen” and “Leather and Lace,” as well as rarities like “Blue Lamp” from the Heavy Metal soundtrack and “Sleeping Angel” from the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack. This deluxe edition will also include a concert from 1981 that features performances of songs from Bella Donna, along with several Fleetwood Mac favorites.

Her 1983 follow-up, The Wild Heart, peaked at #5 on the album chart and was certified double platinum. Featured hits from the album include “Stand Back,” “Nightbird” and “I Will Run to You,” which features Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The Wild Heart: Deluxe Edition builds on the original album with unreleased versions of “All the Beautiful Worlds,” a session version of “Wild Heart” and “Garbo,” the B-side to “Stand Back.”
The dual releases will come out in conjunction with the start of Nicks’ 24 Karat Gold Tour with Pretenders, which kicks off in Phoenix on October 25. The classic rock legend will perform throughout North America this fall, with shows scheduled in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and more.
