Some time ago I saw some threads about P's alterego, Camille.
I've tried the search machine but it won't work

I need some help with this.

There was this aborted proyect wirh included 10 (?) songs, right?

Well, I'd like to make my own CD with those songs and include those which have P's voice sped up.

Can anybody help me with a complete list... It seems there's always another song to add

Please!!!

The basic Camille project details are in the FAQ for this forum here:

http://www.prince.org/msg/7/145050

Section 4.2 and 5.2

Official Camille songs are:

Rebirth Of The Flesh (Original project)
Housequake (Original project)
Strange Relationship (Original project)
Feel U Up (Original project)
Shockadelica (Original project)
Good Love (Original project)
If I Was Your Girlfreind (Original project)
Rockhard In A Funky Place (Original project)
U Got The Look (Vocal credit on Sign O' The Times album)
Scarlet Pussy (Composer credit on B-S-de of single)

Other people choose to include other songs as having some Camille link or involvement where none has been given by Prince.

Remember though, Camille isn't necessarily just a speeded-up Prince voice, there are other variations to it...

Quite right, there have been just 10 tracks officially credited to 'Camille'.

The original 'Camille' album had just 8 tracks and was finished and sequenced
on November 5th 1986. Instead of releasing the album as it stood Prince decided
to expand the project into a triple album called 'Crystal Ball' Which featured
both 'Camille' tracks and 'Prince' tracks. This was edited down to a 2 disc set
and released as 'Sign O' The Times' in 1987, during which time Prince also
recorded and added another new 'Camille' track; 'U Got The Look'. Later on in
1988 another track was credited to 'Camille'; 'Scarlet Pussy'. This was used
as the b-side to 'I Wish U Heaven'. It had originally been intended for inclusion
on Sheila E's 4th Paisley Park album, but Prince reclaimed the track when the
album got shelved and Sheila left Paisley Park Records.

The original 'Camille' looked like this...

side 1:
1. Rebirth Of The Flesh
2. Housequake
3. Strange Relationship
4. Feel U Up
side 2:
5. Shockadelica
6. Good Love
7. If I Was Your Girlfriend
8. Rockhard In A Funky Place

Rebirth Of The Flesh is the only track from 'Camille' that has still not been
officially released, though a live rehearsal version from '88 was released
through the first year of the NPGMC.

You can make a pretty accurate approximation of the 'Camille' album if you
use the following tracks...

Rebirth Of The Flesh - sorry, bootleg is the only way of getting this one,
though all the circulating versions are taken from it's appearance on
'Crystal Ball', so you'd need to edit off the "Come 2 the Crystal Ball" outro.
Housequake - same as on 'Sign O' The Times'.
Strange Relationship - same as on 'Sign O' The Times'.
Feel U Up - same as the 'Long Stroke' version found on the b-side to the
'Partyman' UK 12" and CDsingle.
Shockadelica - same as the 'Extended Version' found on the b-side to 'If I Was
Your Girlfriend' 12".
Good Love - same as the version used on the 1998 'Crystal Ball' set.
If I Was Your Girlfriend - same as on 'Sign O' The Times'.
Rockhard In A Funky Place - same as on 'The Black Album'.

I can't get my hands on "Rebirth of the Flesh" to save my life. I've always heard it was quite funky...

Orgnote, por favor, somebody.

Pretty please!

Yeah, i did some stuff to both Camille and the BOB GEORGE voice and it is not just playing with the speed but also the pitch and some other stuff... but it was a bit differet from song to song. IIRC: BG was just an altered pitch to the voice with a SLIGHT slowdown that could have just been prince talking slow. (and it is prince : i have heard a number of times that it was brooks... (but remember he did BG in concert and they did the effect on the fly which shows that it something other than speed...

but to camille... it was a mix of speed and pitch (i think) which i was able to duplcate with a sound editor.
