Ya see, there was a 21 min. remix of "America" and .....the irony of a 21 min "200 Balloons" in place of.....bottom line "Cream (N.P.G. Mix) and "My Name Is Prince" have no business on an Ultimate.

With all of the aforementioned choices still available.

I'm really sorry. I was tongue and cheekin'. I sure hope you didn't spend too much time searchin. I should have known better than to tell P.org peeps there is any extended version of anything. I would have started searching myself.

Purple Medley?

(Completely guessing here.)

yeah the claim is the actors whose voices appear would have to agree to have them used again.

but here is some trivia: in what post Batman Prince song does a sample from one of the actors in batman appear?

Peach

Gett Off was cleaned up....move your big ass round part, ass was scratched out or reversed for some reason

If anyone out there hasn't bought it I recommend you got to Meijer if you can....only $11.99 there! Very surprising! As for a review, well I knew what to expect, I guess and it's cool for what it is....Prince kind of editing history and only including the hits he wants to define his career (or his career as Prince). The Batman hits should be acknowleded, and why not "Mountans"? But what are you going to do? "Let's Work" was what I was looking forward to but holy shit....the screaming of "Let's Work" is scary shit...Still well worth it for those who won't buy "The Hits/B-Sides", the closest thing to a complete Prince hits set.

Did anyone else notice the Tangerine reference in the credits?

Thanks for posting about the good deal at Meijer. I just bought mine for 11.99 too.

No worries. I download an extended version of 17 days which wasn't released so I thought it might have been the same story here. I don't even like 200 balloons.

omnithanos said:

Is that the offically unreleased version of Prince's 17 Days or just a fan made mix?

Why are you all still giving Warner Bros. money? I just don't quite get it.

Because WB gives $$ to P.

Thank you! Exactly.

doegx said:

My Name Is Prince (edit) and Gett Off are "cleaned up" because they are the original single/radio edits of the songs.

there is no dirty MNIP edit, afaik. and if you listen to the Gett Off maxi, track one, "ass" is scratched out.

Tessa said:

That's funny because I listened to Gett Off from my Ultimate CD this morning expecting the "ass" to be scratched out, but it wasn't.

xplnyrslf said:

Thank you! Exactly.

Roughly, 8/5 of the cd is regurgitated material,

CinisterCee said:

pennies, my friend. That's why Prince thought it was a joke. Exactly.

jthad1129 said:

pennies? bullshit. this project has Prince's approval, and he was involved in picking the tracklist. so he's getting paid PLENTY.

plus, on top of that, there are the mechanical royalties he'd get excluding whatever they're paying him on top just to release this. as songwriter, performer and producer, he makes TONS of money off of every WB release.

it's not reversed? I remember it was reversed on the cassingle & video, wasn't it?

FanSynceEyeWuz9 said:

sounds like a disgruntled ex employee

. . .but I don't want someone to rush out and buy this expecting to hear remastered versions of these songs.

xplnyrslf said:

eight-fifths?


anyway, you're wrong 100% of it is regurgitated material. that's why it's called a compilation.
