Do Not Attempt in Heels
Title: Do Not Attempt in Heels - Mission stories and advice from sisters who've been there
Format: Paperback
Release date: 11 February 2014
EAN: 9781462113910
Personal note: Not many fans know this, but Lindsey's mission story was included in a book called Do Not Attempt in Heels, two years before the release of The Only Pirate at the Party. The story itself is a two-pages long glimpse of what we can find in Lindsey's memoir - a small part of her missionary experience.

Lindsey Stirling French Promo
Title: Lindsey Stirling French Promo
Format: Large slipcase with two cards inside
Release date: 2013
EAN: ------
Personal note: While most of the collectors love promos, I'm generally unimpressed by them. They always come in plain jewel case, no artwork and typically only one song on them. The promo, issued by Capitol Music France, is a huge exception of that rule and I've never seen anything quite like it. Of course, I love the different artwork, the slipcase itself is around 1,5 times bigger than a normal CD and inside you could see a big card with Lindsey's original artwork + information about her in french on the back. On the other card there is a CD with her first self-titled album and the tracklist on the other side. French people do know how to promote artists and this promo CD is absolutely lovely to own.

Song By Song - Ovation TV Promo DVD
Title: Song By Song - Ovation TV Promo DVD
Format: Promo DVD in plain jewel case without booklet
Release date: 2014
EAN: ------
Personal note: Since Lindsey is a USA based artist, a lot of the merchandise, albums and special stuff are exclusively available for Americans, and a bit difficult to acquire if you're in the rest of the world. One of those things were the two 20 minutes episodes dedicated to Lindsey, broadcasted on American TV. It was absolutely impossible to get to watch them - I couldn't stream USA TV on my computer, no one of the fans wanted to record it, it wasn't on youtube... that was until I saw this gem of a DVD on ebay. It's original, very limited company-issued promo DVD of those two episodes, which was expensive, yet priceless. The first episode is called Crystallize and the second Elements. Both contain Lindsey's story (which fans already know), mixed with interviews with her and her crew, and general comments about her success.

My .mp3 collection
As a devoted Lindsey fan, I own not only her music on CD & Vinyl, but also a vast .mp3 collection. I have listed all her singles and collaborations to my knowledge under the other two tabs, which was not only a pleasure to make, but also a way to make sense of her endless work with other artists (and her own released music). I have purchased every single song that was available on iTunes/her own website/or somewhere else. A very small amount of my .mp3s are ripped from youtube, and that is only if they're not available for legal purchase. This is not a site for illegal downloads and you won't find any links to download the songs - only links to youtube are provided. I try to support Lindsey's work with buying her music and while I can't make others do the same, I'm also not going to ease the illegal downloading. But if you're looking for a collab or song of hers, my timeline of releases can prove to be very useful.
Under this section I'll list some of the most interesting .mp3 files I have, which also can't find their place under the other two labels.
Title: Pioneer Day Concert feat. the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Info: A lovely set of 3 songs Lindsey performed in 2013 along with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and an orchestra. One of the songs was Elements (Orchestral version) like you've never heard before - the choir gave it an unique feeling and atmosphere. The other two songs are Poor Little Lambs and Scotland, the Brave / Simple Gifts. It's a one of a kind performance, combining the beauty of Lindsey's dancing and music and the elegance of the choir & orchestra.
Watch it on youtube: Pioneer Day Concert
Title: Umaro XP - Sepiroth's Violin
Info: Umaro XP, also known as Stephen J. Anderson, is the person behind all of Lindsey's orchestral songs. In this album you can find not only the Final Fantasy Medley; but also it was hinted that Lindsey played the violin on the other tracks as well. I strongly recommend this album to any soundtrack, violin and electronic music lover, because it combines the beauty of all 3 genres. Lindsey's participation in this album is only making this musical treat even better.
Watch it on youtube: Sepiroth's Violin
Title: Lindsey Stirling Ringtones
Info: A strange part of my .mp3 collection, but a part that exist nonetheless. Some time ago, in Lindsey's webshop there were a set of ringtones from her self-titled album available for purchase. I did buy them (and use them frequently), and I was sad to discover such thing wasn't made for Shatter Me as well. (Each ringtone is around 25-30 seconds long.)
Title: Lindsey Stirling Karaoke
Info: Ever since I heard her backtrack samples on soundcloud, I've become obsessed with them. I'm now a proud owner of all the karaoke songs from her self-titled album. Each song has a karaoke (backtrack) version and a piano accompaniment track. It's somehow extremely relaxing to listen to the backtrack, and another pro is that you can clearly hear Lindsey's singing.
Buy/listen to samples: Sheet Music
Title: Play-along music book
Info: Speaking of karaoke tracks, something I wanted to have for a long time were her play-along music books. They include demo and backing tracks of all those covers Lindsey made. I wanted to have this book specifically for the demos of Michael Jackson Medley, Pump It and Right Round since they were unavailable to buy anywhere else and they sound brilliant. This is the only way to get A Thousand Years, only Lindsey's version, without any vocals. It's also the only play-along book to come with an actual CD - a fact I also loved.
Title: Hits Music Book
Info: Again, this book contains .mp3 demo and backing tracks of Lindsey's hits. While I loved her second book more, I do like this one as well, as it's the only way to get a Lindsey-only version of her collabs. For a violin lover it's a great opportunity.
Title: Les Miserables Medley Music Book
Info: A bit surprising release, containing only Lindsey's Les Miserables Medley (again demo and backing track). I wouldn't complain since pruchasing this song was not available for Europe, so it's a neat way to get a legal copy of it.
Title: The Only Pirate at the Party Audiobook
Info: What makes this audiobook so special, is that Lindsey read herself the whole thing. It's one thing to read her life experience yourself, but to listen to her read is a whole new level of catering to her fans. It's over 6 hours long and an absolute must-have for fans.
Title: The Sidh - Follow the Flow
Info: In 2012, Lindsey played several times with an Italian band called The Sidh, who are completely amazing. Lindsey is not participating in the album, but both the album and the performance with her should be heard. The album itself is a lovely mix of Celtic and electronic music and I'm more than happy Lindsey introduced me to their music.

Title: Shatter Me
Info: Besides the standard 12 tracks on Shatter Me, I've managed to collect all of the bonus tracks from various sources and the digital booklet completes my .mp3 Shatter Me collection. The bonus tracks are as follows:
13. Eclipse (Target exclusive)
14. Sun Skip (Target exclusive)
15. Take Flight (Orchestral Version) (Target exclusive)
16. Yeah (pledgemusic.com exclusive)
17. Child of Light (orchestral Shatter Me from her Child of Light music video without vocals)
18. Shatter Me (Acoustic version) (bonus track from Shatter Me: The complete experience)
19. Senbonzakura (bonus track from the Japanese edition of Shatter Me)
Title: Song of the Caged Bird Live
Info: This is the live version of Song of the Caged Bird played with a looping machine. Ideally, I'd love to have a studio recording of this, as it sounds even better of the original version. I actually got the mp3 out of a professional recording of Lindsey's show in Red Hat Amphitheater, Raleigh, USA (22 June 2015). The sounds is almost like a studio one. :)
Watch it on youtube: Song of the Caged Bird live
Title: Dota 2 Medley
Info: A mp3 of the live performance of the Dota 2 Medley from the Dota 2 Intenational opening ceremony. The sounds is almost as good as a studio one, Lindsey played it without any mistakes.
Watch it on youtube: Dota 2 Medley
I also keep .mp3 copies of all of Lindsey's studio and live album songs. The most noteworthy from them is "Yeah!" - bonus track from Shatter Me, released as a pledgemusic exclusive only digitally.
