i didnt even know there were longer version are they bootlegs or can i ask were to get them?

Get the bootlegs metioned in this thread.

...so can we try this again?

or has nobody done any changing to their albums like that?

i replaced new power soul with the sound of a drum kit falling down the stairs, with alarms, fart sounds and screaming, and it sounded much better

So you're saying you just put on dubstep?

Did it with Emancipation. Did it with TGE/Come/Chaos. Did it with Sign o the Times/Crystal Ball. Did it with Parade.

And had there been any good outtakes to do it with, I'da done it with D&P and Symbol. In regards to his newer shit? No, sorry. Never. Never, ever. What's the point? I can't even say I like an entire album enough to bother.

I love Lotus Flower, but I think that album is perfect by itself (once you destroy the other 2 discs).

With Emancipation, just trimming it down to a single disc of my favorite 15-18 songs. I can't stand songs like "Human Body" or "Curious Child" or "Dreamin Bout U" or "Sex in the Summer" etc. To me, those songs are too gimmicky.

Putting all the CB tracks he dropped off SOTT is a good idea. The album is much more colorful and strange (though it is quite long and kinda drags on a bit given so many songs are 7+ mins).

dyvrdown said:

has anybody rearranged their albums and replaced a song they didnt like with one from the same era that they did like? or even just gotten rid of songs altogether?

like, for example.. i dont like "america" so i replaced it with "girl" since it was its b-side. now i think atwiad is perfect, and i dont need to skip anything.

not that i listen to parade much (DONT START ) but i replaced "kiss" with "love or money," because someone suggested it a while back lol

i took the npg operators off tge, and "everybody loves me" off 20ten (and made laydown the first track instead of last, cause i think it fits better there). i also took 12 songs off emancipation and made it 10x better, imo.

generally i dont like changing albums like that, but when i can make them soo much better, i do.

aaand its kinda different but, i changed the order of the songs on purple rain to the order they go in the movie i did that a long time ago.

[Edited 8/9/11 13:18pm]

Ooh, I think that was me!

I do this all the time now. Though not just replacing songs I don't like, but creating 'special editions'

Here's My Diamond & Pearls

1. Thunder - 6.10 (Cool version I made by incorporating parts of the Thunder Ballet)

2. Daddy Pop - 5.10 (Tony M-less edit)

3. Diamonds & Pearls - 4.45

4. Cream - 4.13

5. Get Some Solo Interlude - 1.30

6. Strollin' - 3.46

7. Willing & Able - 4.30 (Livestudio version and Tony M-less)

8. Gett Off - 8:29 (12" version)

9. Walk Don't Walk - 3.06

10. Horny Pony - 4.20

11. Money Don't Matter 2 Night - 4.47

12. Push - 4.50 (Tony M-less)

13. Violet The Organ Grinder - 4.56 (removed the scream intro)

14. Insatiable - 6.58 (incorporating bits from the full length unreleased version)

15. Live 4 Love - 6.21 (Tony M-Less)

I love the album this way, in fact it's now probably one of my favourites. I've done the same for LotusFlower & Graffitti Bridge & love those too.

I love the part of the unreleaed version were he hit those high-notes around 3:40. Pure genious.

I wish can released that version.

I replace the edit of Let's Go Crazy with the extended version..that is essential.

Also I replace the album version of Come with a better one and change up that album a lot with some of the test pressing versions...add Endorphinmachine back in, etc.

oh yeah and got use the demo of Daddy Pop (with lots of Rosie) instead of the album version.

I've recently started doing this! The change is apparent, and I enjoy it much better. "Laydown" is now the first track, and it is much a better opener. Everything else on 20Ten stays the same, except "Everybody Loves Me" It just kills the album all together for me, yet still it has its place in the Playlist "Y Did Prince Make This?" Haha...Nevertheless it is an incredible idea to do that. It works and changes the feel of the whole album if its done right. I think I might need to try what you have done with "Emancipation" because I don't like 12 songs either...and by eliminating them it would be a perfect album! Haha

The Greatest Album Ever In My Opinion

1. America(Because of the starting and stopping affect at the beginning.)(Extended Version)

2. Around The World In A Day

3. Paisley Park(Extended Version)

4. Condition Of The Heart

5. She's Always In My Hair(Extended Version)

6. Raspberry Beret(Extended Version)

7. Pop Life(Extended Version)

8. Tamborine

9. The Ladder

10. Temptation

If you play this all the way through, you love for this album would grow strong.

That's a good idea with Rave and NPS. Could probably improve both by just combining them. NPS tracks also work on Emancipation, imo.

I can never get through rave and nps the way they were released. see above what I made of them.

Albums I never touch are his 80's albums, Come, TBA, C&D, the Vault, The Truth (tho I do like to kill man in a uniform and animal kingdom) and One Nite Alone. Not that they are perfect, but they are fine by themselves ( about 10 songs each, lp length or short lp)

Oh by the way,

TRC without the R&B and bs

1. Rainbow Children (10:04)
2. Digital Garden (4:07)
3. The Work Pt. 1 (4:28)
4. Everywhere (2:55)
5. The Sensual Everafter (2:58)
6. 1+1+1 Is 3 (5:17)
7. She Loves Me 4 Me (2:50)
8. Family Name (8:17)
9. The Everlasting Now (8:18)
10. Last December (7:58)

[Edited 8/11/11 12:01pm]

I'm positive (of course ha) that if the 90's Prince would have kept on making albums like that at lp length, they would have sold much better.

Nope not me, that makes it too long and weak to my taste

Parade is my favorite Prince album, but I enhanced it by replacing Mountains and Anotherlover... with thier 12" versions. Also, I added Love or Money after Anotherlover. After Sometimes it Snows in April, I added Alexa De Paris, Mutiny (w/ Prince singing) and Honest Man. I love that album.

[Edited 8/9/11 13:18pm]

Wow, you don't like "America"? Man that song is one of my all-time favs! Whew, I don't think I've heard anyone say they didn't like that one

I did NOT change a note on these fine albums,

in my iTunes:

Lovesexy

Parade

Sign O The Times

Purple Rain

1999

The Gold Experience

Black Album

Around The World In A Day

Dirty Mind

Controversy

Prince

Reason - I love these these essential Prince albums as they are

I just deleted 1 song: Blue Light

Come I added Lovesign after Dark, before Solo

Emancipation I deleted 6 songs: Courtin Time, Get Yo Groove On, Let's Have A Baby, The Plan, Da Da Da, One Of Us (I love the Joan Osborne song, Prince's version is terrible)

sorry for not playing by the rules in this thread.
