Details on High and Celebration (greatest hits 2-CD set) in next UPTOWN



As previously reported, the new UPTOWN issue will contain information on High and the forthcoming greatest hits album. For all of you who cannot wait until the new issue is out (or doesn’t subscribe to the magazine), here are some details…



Warner Bros. will release a new greatest hits album, a 2-CD set tentatively titled Celebration or Prince’s Celebration (the title is Prince’s idea). There is no set release date at the time of writing, but April/May 2001 has been discussed. Prince is supposed to deliver two or three new songs for the album and will promote the release with a large-scale international tour (which will be called Celebration).



The High album has been completed for quite some time (summer 2000), but there are no definite plans as to how/if the album will be released. At one point, the tracks planned for inclusion on High were “Vavoom,” “U Make My Sun Shine,” “My Medallion,” “When Will We B Paid?”, “Super Cute,” “Underneath The Cream,” “Golden Parachute,” “The Daisy Chain,” “Gamillah” (an instrumental), “High,” and “When Eye Lay My Hands On U.”
