Is it worth buying "The Beautiful Experience"?

What's on it anyway?

The single? Where are you thinking of buying it from, for how much, and what kind of collector are you?

I've listened to all the trax all of once, when I first bought it. It's a forgettable maxi-single, but it has a cool butterfly insert that's kind of neat.

If you're a completist, I suppose it's worth it. I paid $6.00 for mine from a used music store so it was worth it for me.

Yeah, it's not worth a huge amount of money. Basically variations and mixes on the music of 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World' - one or two nice moments but you get real bored of the song if you play it too many times!

A bunch of remixes, of only one or two actually do anything worthwhile with this drippy track, is only worth it if you're a) a completist and/or you *really* like this sappy ballad.

If my memory serves me right this this the CD with the 'Mustang Mix' of TMBGITW. This is the bomb. Prince also did a version of this for Top of the Pops Live at the time TMBGITW was out in the UK. He should have released this mix instead. As for the rest of the CD.....shite I would imagine! wink

That's what I'm saying. I can't stand the standard track, it only made number one in the UK due to the fact it was released for Valentines. The Mustang Mix could have done the same job....only better!!! biggrin
