I Know My First Name Is Stephen
A comment about work leads released after Karen's passing led me to compare how these two albums stack up in terms of finished tracks...and the difference is quite striking. I've bolded the ones that we know are definite work leads.
Voice Of The Heart - 8 work leads
Now
Sailing On The Tide
You're Enough
Make Believe It's Your First Time
Two Lives
At The End Of The Song
Ordinary Fool
Prime Time Love
Your Baby Doesn't Love You Any More
Look To Your Dreams
Lovelines - 2 work leads
Lovelines
Where Do I Go From Here?
The Uninvited Guest
If We Try
When I Fall In Love
Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night
Remember When Lovin' Took All Night
You're The One
Honolulu City Lights
Slow Dance
If I Had You
Little Girl Blue
We know Karen's vocal leads on the solo tracks were finished so that was always going to make the tally four lower on the latter album, but there's also the following:
'Sailing On The Tide' - complete with K&R backing vocals
'Where Do I Go From Here?' - full arrangement and orchestration completed
'When I Fall In Love' - featured in a TV special
'Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night' - Richard wouldn't have added Siedah Garrett's vocals to a work lead
'You're The One' - almost released on 'Passage'
'Little Girl Blue' - featured in a TV special
That leaves just 'Look To Your Dreams' from Voice Of The Heart and 'The Uninvited Guest' from Lovelines - anyone ever read or heard a definitive statement from Richard whether these are work leads or not?
