A few of the songs have been officially released on CD at the Hit N Run tours.

I'm not sure all of them, but I know that a few of them are Daisy Chain, Gamillah, Peace, Underneath The Cream. I think Supercute was released as a single too.

Also, 2045: Radical Man was released on the Bamboozled soundtrack.

Ahhh MAN!! I missed out big time then, I wasnt a prince fan wen they all came out on the NPGMC! Il find them some day...some how!!

I love Xpectation. C NOTE i was sooooo into when it first came out. I havent listened to it in a while. I enjoy Chocolate Invasion more than The Slaughterhouse but I like both of them. They are what they are.

I have them all...and they are good IMO...but this is coming from someone who thinks P hasn.t madea bad album.

Some of these tracks were orginally 'NPG' songs, for the unreleased Peace album (e.g. Peace and Northside).

You never know, they might be up on lotusflow3r.com sooner or later.

I have them all. I haven't listened to C-Note yet (got it the other day and haven't had time yet), but I love The Slaughterhouse and The Chocolate Invasion. Xpectation is good, but not great.

My own little opinion says these are better the what landed in the shops.
They over-all have in-complete feel to them,
which like SoTT exposes the man genius.
With a bit of luck (and a couple of prayers) they should appear on Lotusflow3r.
Get them if you get a chance

I have them. I like them all.

Maybe Lotusflow3r will have a store to purchase past downloads too.

A good move from P would be make them available as factory-pressed CD for purchase on Lotusflow3r.com.

But it would be too good to be true, knowing P's commercial skills.

I love those albums!!! The Slaugterhouse is one of my all time faves.

God I hope I can buy them on the new website! Ive only herd samples and not very clear ones and it sounds soooo goooood! lol!!

Two or three of my all time favorite recent Prince songs are on the Slaughterhouse & Chocolate Invasion.

The Slaughterhouse is sooooo funky - never off the CD in my car! The Chocolate Invasion is also a decent album IMHO, not so into C-Note or Xpectation.

So how do we go about getting our mits on these 4 albums?

You are talking here to a middle aged bloke with little computer skills here so please go easy.

I would like them on cd so is it a case of down loading and burning on to cd. God I sound thick. Sorry
