Listened to the boot of Cocoa Boys and I prefer the bootleg ‘mix’ to this 2020 one Someone needs to turn that crowd noise DOWN.... smh... such a good track a victim to horrible mixing.... | |

i like all the elements in the finished version, but the removal of the "we were a sight for moral eyes" talk singing part and the "fighting's the ultimate sin" part make me weep. i wonder why he removed them, i saw someone say they conflict with the narrative? i don't know, never put too much thought into it. | |

I think Cocoa Boys would've fit great on the Black Album. When it was released in 1994, it would've been great to remove When 2 R in Love (since we already had it) and insert Cocoa Boys instead. "Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

This disc is amazing. My favorites:
3. Eggplant (Prince vocal)
"Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

- And I would love to hear this brilliant track with the background vocals the way it was suppose to be. - Same for the Bob George track. Would love to hear Prince's Jamie Star vocal fun pitched the right way. -

You know I never even noticed that. Had a change of mind perhaps? It was a hot line. Probably won't be hard to mix that original line back in there yourself Straight Jacket Funk Affair

why'd the keep the drumstick intro on everybody wants (one of the all time great songs, btw, just in case you didn't know) but adonis and bathsheba get done dirty with that abrupt intro | |

look. i'm saying it. wendy's eggplant tastes better than prince's. [Edited 9/28/20 21:53pm] | |

Yeah, me too. But in the book they claim he turned "it into the title track for his Lovesexy album." I hear a lot in it, but not Lovesexy. Produced, Arranged, Composed & Performed by PRINCE

this is an especially odious statement because #1 i don't think It Be's Like That sounds like the lovesexy title track in any way shape or form, but also because the lovesexy title track is maybe literally his best song and one of the greatest things that's ever entered my ears while It Be's Like That is just "really good" by comparison, a nice track but nothing earth shattering. | |

Sorry but although Wendy is a passable singer, this ain't her tune and her vocals are all over the place and cringey. I haven't noticed it in Prince's version but I also don't care for "Get it???? She's RETARDED. S L O W." part which might've not tweaked me at the age of 27 or whatever they were but now I'm like, really? Good lord. | |

Thank you! I'm still listening to the discs and finally finished Vault 2 on today. I could hear lots of Eye Know in It Be's but couldn't for my life place the other song that I was hearing and it's been bugging the SHIT out of me all day. Turns out, it's LoveSexy. Can't place my finger on it, but the "...I want it morning, noon, and night of every day..." is the line that I couldn't place but could hear faint hints of throughout It Be's. | |

They cut the ending to 'Fat Lady'. That just burns my ass "I like to watch." | |

The fade out on 'Crucial' really burns my ass, too. WHY, WHY, WHY are fadeouts necessary? These are not going to play on the radio, so let them play out. GODDAMMIT! "I like to watch." | |

Yep, probably the biggest single disappointment on the entire set for me. it seems absolutely pointless Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! | |

Now we have two versions of Witness 4 The Prosecution on the SOTT SDE can anyone tell me which bootleg has the best sounding version Of the one that isn't there? I'm sure I have it but there are so many bootlegs! | |

Crucial is one of my favourite Prince songs, but the version included here is as frustrating then the one that was included on Crystal Ball. Why not release the ones with the full Eric Leeds solo, and/or the one with the full guitar solo? Even more frustrating that the liner notes mention an early piano demo. For me this song alone would deserve its own EP containing all the different versions, including one highlighting Clare Fischers orchestration.

. The version on "Box 'O' Chocolates" (2010) was pretty good. The one on "Blast From The Past 4.0 [Eye Records]" (2017) doesn't sound particularly better, nor worse. Has something better emerged? | |

Apparently (hopefully) "they didn't do any such thing since it's the genuine Prince mix. As for Crucial IDK. Supposedly Bolas' mixes are supposed to be faithful recreations but after the originals fiasco you never know.

I love Prince's drumming on "Fat Lady Sings". The treble on "Train" is too low imo. | |

Claire's strings are missing as well as far as I can tell. Prince must've decided against them. | |
