Is it so bloody hard to consult PrinceVault before asking?

Or, one would ask is it so bloody hard to simply Google it? I'm not sure I've ever understood coming onto a Prince fan board and asking a question like this.

that my take.

I really wonder if you guys have really read my question! I've asked if it is true, that this song was included. Because I have downloaded the album as well but I cannot find it nor can I recall it. - Thus I have read the comment on princevault.

But again guys, I am really sorry to have raised the questions and that I have wasted your precious times. Next time I'll ask something like "What song do you like better? "People without" or "Count the days"? - Then I am sure you guys can write pages without complaining.

And of course you can also google a lot. Even yourself.

Some people are happy people and like to help.

Some people are not happy people and like to tear down others.

Just stick with us happy people!

Christ, could you please use the Search function? That thread has been done ad nauseum, please don't bother us elite fans with dumb questions like this...

LOL, you are most welcome NeptuneHQ, just fooling around with all these acidic old people.

If we all resort to looking stuff up on Google we might as well close Prince.org immediately...

I'm beginning to think that Bert gets some kind of royalty for every visit to PrinceVault.

O.k ....so I really need this song.

I know lots of people would disagree but no question is a dumb question. Besides I don't think the answer is necessarily obvious to established fans. The fact the OP is familiar with the record is proof enough they aren't a "casual" fan, nor a newbie. I suppose only "hardcore" fans would find the question stupid and that's the problem with fan sites. Members with less knowledge aren't always warmly welcomed or deemed worthy of being here with all their ignorance.

The problem is that any time a newbie strolls in here and expresses an interest in things by asking basic simple questions, there's mainly one resident dickhead here who constantly posts nothing but argumentative mean shit, covering bascially the last 15 years, that scares them off by being a rude asshole instead of even TRYING to be polite.

It's uneccesary, uncalled for, shitty, mean, rude, tired, played out and adds absolutely nothing to the board.

If I were a mod, Bart would've takne a walk a LONG time ago.

So true!!

Also he's not the typical troll since he mostly doesn't return to these thread after he has spoken his verdict. And seldomly trolls use their real names on a forum. The guy really puzzles me.

Maybe we should all start a load of threads with questions Bart would think are ignorant and see if he's going to respond to every single one of them?

Best thing is to stop replying to his nasty remarks. i think he loves the ego trip.

Back to topic, I've always wondered which version of the album Prince considered the real one.

Given that the CD version was by far and purposedly the one that reached the most people, I would assume it's that one, but IDK.

I'm really unsure why he even did 2 versions in the first place: I paid 77 bucks and couldn't even get C&C even though the video could be streamed (but not downloaded). At the very least I would have expected the digital version to have both tracks, or C&C offered as a bonus.

The consequence was that for me and for a long time until I finally downloaded the CD version, the digital version was "my" Lotusflow3r.

Opinions?

Bart, what is your problem? Are you incapable of making small talk? ... People come here to relax, to get informed, to have a bit of a conversation amongst fans.

This isn't one of Churchill's war rooms, okay?

Exactly. I may be wrong, but I really don't think Bart gets the actual benefits of the process of socializing about an area of mutual interest. To each his or her own, but the issue is really that no matter how much feedback he gets about this he keeps doing it. Just as he gets increasingly incredulous and pissed that others still aren't always consulting with non-social sites for information despite his insistence that they do so, it is ironic that he doesn't change the way he deals with the situation as well no matter the feedback he gets. Perhaps just consider something outside of Prince org to come to new realization. Someone may not get why some people enjoy talking about football, but at some point it dawns on them that the people who do so aren't always ignorant about other options such as turn on the tv to watch ESPN or read an article on football. They just like talking about football, especially if they are on a football fan site , for "fuck sake" .

I do appreciate the information and article links that you provide!
