The Other Side of the Mirror is the fourth solo album by American singer/songwriter and Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks. Released in 1989, it was recorded in The Netherlands, Buckinghamshire in England, and Los Angeles, and is loosely based around the theme of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The album reached #10 on the U.S. Billboard album charts, propelled by the hit single "Rooms on Fire" (#16), and eventually achieved platinum status. Following the huge success of Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night in the UK, "The Other Side Of The Mirror" became Nicks' highest charting solo album there, reaching #3 and spawning her first (and biggest) ever UK top 40 hit with "Rooms On Fire" (also #16). Her first, and so far last, solo tour of the UK and Europe, (Sweden, France and The Netherlands) followed the album as well as a tour of the U.S.

The album features Bruce Hornsby on two tracks - "Two Kinds of Love" (sharing lead vocals with Nicks) and also on background vocals and keyboards on "Juliet".

The track "Juliet" was considered for Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night album, but ultimately was not selected. However, the instrumental version "'Book of Miracles" was released as a B-side to the "Seven Wonders" single in 1987.

Mike Cambell of the Heatbreakers wrote the music for "Whole Lotta Trouble & "Fire Buring"

As a promotional giveaway, the album was released with a limited edition holographic sticker in certain territories.
