The Best of St. Paul: Straight to the Funk vol 1

Lookie what I found in my mailbox today! excited

[img:$uid]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i9/jgascot/2010_06250008.jpg[/img:$uid]

An autographed copy of St. Pauls new cd. woot!

Been on repeat all day. headbang

I'm sure we might go into a more detailed discussion, but for now I'll just mention a few favorites.
The Regulator

Can't Get Enough

Forgive Me

The live Family Medley (IMO his Nothing Compares to You is by far a superior rendition to u NO Who's boxed as is the original recording by the Family of course)

Shooting Star cloud9

Intimacy

Thanks for the chance to get the cd, Ernest (it was through his radio show) and thanks to St.Paul love for sending it to me. Now PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come and play the Birchmere. fit

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I'm glad you got it. It was such a fun show to do, despite the hiccup. Cool that we got ours on the same day. I kind of thought we would since we're so close geographically.

Dang Ernest, your jewel case is broken. Is the sig on the booklet?

Cool, by the way guys.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Both of ours were chipped, damned USPS. But the cover, jacket, and disk were fine.

The signature is on the booklet itself, not the jewel case. It is purple ink, it seems, as it looks in the picture. The picture I took looks really warped on the right side there, but it was the sun and shadow coming in the patio door that made it look like that.

Missed you tonight on the show. MJ show tomorrow, if you wanna join at some point. Bluefish is doing 2 hours on his show, and I'm doing the 3rd hour on mine. Call if you can. You always have a spot, you know that.

Too cool. My favorite is still "Intimacy" I love that groove.

If you're trying to be close-minded, and/or rude, take it elsewhere. No one here is interested.

Yeah I was surprised by that one too lol

Can't wait for that FDeluxe cd though.

Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council.

a friend just got me a copy. I love the new tracks. the 80s stuff, well it's fun cause it's 80s.

The Regulator kicks major ass - funky as hell and the Forgive Me tune...weird but I love the keys and it's really growing on me. Anyone listen to the lyrics? Part of it is about Paul and Prince's falling out I think! Pretty interesting!!

I got an email that mine is on its way. Hope it comes soon smile

I asked Paul on his Facebook if we can get his 1st album on CD but I don't think he replied. I used to have that on cassette and it was great.

I bought his live concert DVD too a couple years back and it was really good too!

So this will have to tide me over till The Family (FDeluxe) album comes out. smile

I'd like to have that first album on CD too! Out of interest, on the CD sleeve, does it indicate that the early tracks were licensed from the respective labels or has he bought the rights to them?
