What’s stopping associated music being on streaming services? Does anyone know why so much associated stuff is missing from streaming services ? Considering how technically easy it must be to make the music available, why is stuff like NPG (Goldnigga), Vanity 6 Apollonia 6, Madhouse, The Family, Jill Jones not available especially when these are almost impossible to find in digital form legally. Who is it that sits in the middle of those that want to legally listen and those that want their material heard sand say “No, these songs will remain unavailable on any format even though there is demand and streaming platforms would be a very easy way of doing it and even though we aren’t releasing on any other format either”. It’s some miserable shit and just the sort of thing that makes the world a worse place. | |

I've been wondering the same thing. Jill Jones is the one for me. My copy is a rip from my old cassette and its terrible. |

It would be nice. I too wonder what the hitch is. Time keeps on slipping into the future...

I just noticed that Warner Records have released "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6 as a single via Apple Music. There is always hope for more. https://music.apple.com/u...1554286051

Very strange. I have seen super obscure artists received CD reissues and digital releases but, other than The Time, WB won't do anything with Prince protege material. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Seems beyond just the associated acts - even NPG which whilst not a pure Prince release is as close as it gets with Goldnigga (which I don't even think is on Warner) and not to forget Madhouse 8 is nearly all him apart from Eric Leeds. Loads of precious material. As I said, it's some sick shit. If I download and distribute illegally I could technically be sued and the claim may involve they lose money but if I say OK, sell it to me, err well it's not for sale. If they say it's an asset that they may release later, well in 10 years there will barely be anyone left that cares anymore - it's a completely dwindling niche fan base. Just let people pay and pay/access and listen. HD Download sites or streaming sites, don't care how, just have some respect and let people listen to material that either Prince felt fit to release once upon a time or the remaining artists such as the lovely Jill Jones or Apples I'm sure woiuld be happy to have available for fans to enjoy.
Sorry for the rant! By the way, message to Mods: I think this post could be on the main forum - it includes Prince's material as well, and someone reading there might know why.

at the very least......the Apollonia 6 album,the Family album,the Mazarati album and the Jill Jones album should all be widely available on the streaming services.I can't understand why they're not. .[Edited 3/7/21 10:48am] | |

I am glad that I invested in all of the official CDs of all the associated artists back when they first came out: Apollonia 6 Vanity 6 The Family Mazarati Jill Jones both Madhouse albums Eric Leeds Brownmark (the first 2 solo albums) Sheila E. - the first 3 albums NPG Wendy and Lisa (just the first 2 albums are good) Morris Day Vanity (are her albums associated since Prince has nothing to do with them?) The Day Zs Andre Cymone The Girls Jesse Johnson Da Krash TaMara and the Seen I think I had Bobby Z's first solo but I think I got rid of it - it was not worth the space in my collection Ingrid Chavez Carmen Electra Mayte Dez Dickerson All of the Pasiley Park releases - TC Ellis, Good Question, The Three o Clock, George Clinton) And - of course - The Time (the 4 REAL Time albums + Condensate)

That is right - and that is a crime because they are rather good. Wild Animal is a classic in my book. I have all the vinyl and some unofficial CDs [Edited 3/12/21 17:39pm] | |

Jill Jones album... it's a crime it's not available. Violet blue is one of the best songs ever written!
Ingrid chavez... Some truly excellent tracks and it still sounds fresh It feels with the decisions by the high ups to hide this stuff like being in an exclusive club except I wanr everyone to join it as music is there to be heard and what someone said is right in ten years there will be less relevance. Now is the time. [Edited 3/18/21 15:28pm] | |

The Glamorous Life would be one that would be a sure fire reissue | |

Aren't those usually released on labels like Numero Group & Light In The Attic that specialize in obscure performers and small little known record labels. They don't generally do major label stuff. Most of Jermaine Jackson's Motown albums have never been on CD, and the ones that were are imports from Japan. Yet there's deluxe CD sets of LaToya Jackson albums and her records weren't popular in the first place. Jermaine had some success, mainly on R&B radio. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I love the Mazarati album.Tracks like “She’s Just That Kinda Lady” and “Players Ball” were my jams in 1986  Superb album all the way through.I’m happy that I held on to my vinyl copy all these years,but it would still be nice to be able to stream it on Spotify sometime. | |

I know these are Prince songs, but does anyone know why "I Love U But I Don't Trust You Anymore" and "Comeback" are no longer on Tidal? I guess the whole album is missing? | |

That album has Jesse's stamp all over it but those guys were excellent musicians. The album is solid. I believe the lead singer of the band had a sexual assault charge against him that put the band in limbo. The group got a new lead singer and rebrand themselves 3 years later as Kool Skool. They added hip hop to their sound. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

I remember DaKrash and their single “Wasn’t I Good To You”.One of the cool things about Spotify is you never know what you may find.I was so surprised to see the 1983 album by an obscure band called Sexual Harassment.Their big hit was “I Need A Freak”.There is a heavy Prince influence.That album is extremely rare,yet there it is on Spotify. | |
