Databank, you mentioned only the alternate take of Satisfied, I have a bunch of outtakes from Hey Man, but no alternate Get Satisfied. Can you tell me what collection I might find it on. Anyway, I read it as P sang on the released track. I see no mention of unreleased version in Chronic's statement. Is there another source for this info?

I just checked: I got 2 unreleased versions on the "iVault" collection but none on "Work It 2.0" (which, btw, is the best collection of outtakes available, you need this one + "30 Years Of Unreleased Funk" + "Box Of Chocolate" + the 2 recent outtakes "Can I Play With U #2" and "4 Lust" and u've got every outtake circulating in the best quality available). The fact that my 2 unreleased versions aren't on "Work It 2.0" and that they aren't featured in the article about the song on Princevault.com probably indicates that Prince isn't on them, and that -if Chronic Freeze remembers correctly, let's not forget his thread was done almost 20 years after these sessions happened- the versions with Prince aren't circulating. On the other hand, "Work It 2.0" contains several Hey Man... Smell My Finger outtakes/alternate takes, and therefore it's likely that all of them feature Prince.
As for Chronik"s statement IDK, it's not really clear and Chronik says that he thinks the only Prince contribution was The Big Pump, then doesn't clearly say if Prince contributed to the released version of Get Satisfied or just a version. I just listened to the "let's get satisfied" hook on the released version and Prince's voice could possibly be part of the choir, or not, it's very hard to say because many voices are mixed together.
Still, another claim by the Uptown team that Prince's only contribution was The Big Pump is quoted here: http://prince.org/msg/5/160499" target="_blank">http://prince.org/msg/5/160499
So far, I don't consider that Chronic's statement constitutes a proof that Prince contributed the released track but I'd like to hear the opinion of Boris or Madhouseman about it.

First, thanks for checking. I have everything you listed, with the possible exception of iVault. I'll have to check my external to see if I do have it, if not, I'll track it down. I seem to remember debating with myself about getting it for completist sake vs. skipping it as I already had it all (which is evidently, incorrect ).
I took Chronic's statement to mean the only track Prince wrote and provided for the project was Big Pump, but, that he had played on (or, as George has said in interviews, "P'd on") other tracks on the album.
That said, I always thought I could hear Prince throughout Hey Man, specifically on Satisfied, and therefor, may be reading into it.
Although I believe the Uptown team's info is the most accurate available, I do believe it is only the best known info, and not always certain fact. They're just right so much of the time that it is easy for us (well, for me anyway) to consider the info Gospel. It isn't, it's just reallllly close. IMO.
I agree wholeheartedly that Chronic's statements are proof of nothing. He's pretty clear that his memory is not perfect. I would also appreciate expert opinions.
On that note, should I edit/delete Chronic's statements in my post? Just wondering since the original thread was deleted, may not be cool of me to repost? [Edited 5/27/11 9:04am] Don't hate your neighbors. Hate the media that tells you to hate your neighbors. | |

CMIIW but the only tracks iVault contains that ain't on Work It 2.0 are fake outtakes (i.e. with no Prince involvement), so u don't really need it.
As for Chronic's thread, he clearly asked that no one ever reproduces or uses in a book or online any part of what he's said. Part of me says "we should respect his wish", but on the other hand i'm one of these guys who own a whole bunch of bootlegs when I perfectly know Prince doesn't want us to own anything save what he's officially released, and I'm also one of these people who encourage those uncirculating outtakes owners to share what they have with the world, so what can i say?
In the end Chronic went public and perfectly knew his words would be copied/pasted by some (i personally didn't do it) and could re-emerge here and there even if he said he didn't want this to happen, so it's a personnal ethic choice for every one who owns a copy of the thread to quote it or not.
So I can't tell u what to do A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

And yes, you are right: Uptown cannot know everything, nor can Princevault.com. I myself will soon create threads on this forum and 2 others in order to ask people to proofread my online discography and check its accuracy, because considering the amount of data to handle, it's likely that I've made some mistakes despite my efforts to be accurate.
The available data on Prince's recording sessions is always evolving... & I'd like to know what the "experts" think of Chronic's confusing statements about Get Satisfied. Or maybe Alan has the answer? (If so, please let us know ) A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

I am so upset with all of you, what kind of fan site is this. These people come on here and give one side of a story, and you totally agree with them, with out even hearing Prince side. Then you all criticized anyone who disagrees with you. This is my first time replying on this site, I simply don't understand you. Why is Prince wrong for wanting to use any images he wants of a band he created in the first place, why on earth would he have to get permission from the family to use his songs. Don't you see how crazy that sounds. What kind of fan site is this, I am so ashamed of all of you. And I don't care how many of you attack me for having a different opinion than you. | |

It's not about taking sides, none of us is legitimate to take side in this matter, and most of us didn't.
It's about showing respect and being grateful to whoever is involved (or whoever has some first hand information to help us understand the conflict) for coming here and share their side of the story when they could just ignore us.
And even if you chose to take sides, you don't have to be rude. If Prince came here to discuss www.lotusflow3r.com, I'd FIRST be grateful for him to do so and THEN I'd politely express how and why I was so disappointed by the site's content and felt that I shouldn't have paid $77 for it. I certainly wouldn't say things such as "You're a clown and you've ripped me off, this is a shameful scam and you are a crook". It's just about being well educated or not.

In the US, copying and reproducing someone else's work (writing, art, music, etc.) without their permission may be copyright infringment (even if the work is not registered with the Copyright office). It's also disrespectful, especially if he explicitly asked that it not be done.

First of all,Prince is never going to present "his side" in matters like this.He'll simply have his lawyers send threatening,harassing letters.That's how he operates.
Secondly,you are forgetting that,while Prince wrote and produced the Family's debut album,the group members were still part of the project too.Those are their voices on the record,those are their images,too.These are human beings we're talking about,not robots.
"what kind of fansite is this"
It certainly isn't a place where fans blindly worship their idol and drink purple Kool-Aid all day long.If that's what you're looking for,go elsewhere.

For me this is what is came down to.
Alan used the word "disingenuous" and that is the perfect word for their whole fiasco.
If Prince came in here and and started a passive aggressive thread titled "Statement From Prince regarding Scaming My Fams" What do you think the reaction would be? Everyone throwing rose peddles like some of you mentioned? It's about how they went about this. Period.
It's about fairness and propriety and Alan and that other dude lacking good judgement as to whether it was a good idea to air their dirty laundry here in the way they did. It was not cool no matter how you tilt you head and try to justify it.
I couldn't help but say something, especially while most of you here just acted like attention starved kids swooning about someone like Alan posting here and noticing them, instead of really reading what was being said. Or the motives. The word indigenous pops up again.
I was about the disingenuous passive aggressive tone from the get go. Respect? Well whey had it until they opened their mouths.
Anyway that's it, I'll also call it a day on this one.

I did read what people said, and this was my first time replying to this site so I push the BOLD button by mistake, I have an opinion, just like you do, and I have a right to express it even if it is not yours. I am sorry it is disturbing to me, that when anyone says something bad about prince 98% of this site agrees. | |

I am not forgetting about the family, I really don't care about their album or prince involvement with them that is for them to work out, I am upset about the responce from his fans, that he is always wrong.

It's fine to support Prince on a fan site. It's fine to knock Prince on a fan site.
BUT the stuff you are saying has ZERO to do with the issues here. No one wants to stop him from using images. He doesn't have to get permission to use songs. WHO has said ANY of what you are saying? Can I be ashamed that a fan hops into a thread without a CLUE of what they are talking about? At least have some idea of what the issue is if you are going to tell people they sound crazy they are. I'm not attacking you for your opinion in case you are wondering. I am asking that you have some idea of what the conversation is before posting. | |
