Have the guys recorded this album and if so, are there any available tracks or tracklistings?

I believe this was the album recorded in 1998 or so, it wasn't the original line-up, but rather the one with Morris/Jerome/Freeze/Tori etc. Also I don't believe Prince had any involvement.

I haven't seen a tracklisting personally.

For your consideration:

/\ Fuck! I wasn't thinking. I have seen this before. I remember smiling when I saw the Funkadelic cover listed on there and wondering how it would sound with them doing it, and I definitely remember reading that Larry might have played on it.

I don't know how I could have forgotten that. Oh well.

I'm curious about this album.I wonder if it's any good.

Nice one, thanks very much. Hopefully it might surface one day as I'd love to hear it (even though it's not the original line-up). Also very intrigued about the Funkadelic cover, you know this funk band can play rock but without Jesse I'm not so sure

Tori Ruffin is a beast on guitar.

Agreed.... but he's no Jesse!

Does anyone know if any of the tracks are available on bootleg, download etc ?

I am afraid of what a "Time" album would sound like without Prince, Jam and Lewis. That last live album was terribly done - it actually managed to take away from the legendary live stage show.

On a related note, this was posted on Prince's website on 27th March 2001

Has anything ever come to light as to what these tracks were?
