BORN UNDER A PURPLE SKY (Volume 1)

1. Endorphinmachine (album version as I have yet to find a good enough quality copy of the unreleased version)
2. Honky Tonk Women (undertaker)
3. Bambi (undertaker)
4. Zannalee - interlude (undertaker)
5. Peach
6. One of US
7. I Like It There (edit)
8. The Cross
9. Let's Go Crazy (Rave 2000)
10. She's Always In My Hair (Rave 2000)
11. U Got The Look (Rave 2000)
12. Whole Lotta Love (Aladdin)
13. So Far, So Pleased
14. Chaos & Disorder (edit)
15. When U Were Mine (NPG Ahdio version - edit)
16. The Same December (edit)
17. Dolphin
18. Da Bang
19. Habibi
20. Purple Rain (Revolution Live)

That's one I've put together to fit on one CD. If you want the cover, I can email it to you. I'm putting together a second volume at the moment (and for all you thinking I left loads of good stuff out - I was holding back a little for Vol. 2).

I was concentrating on straight ahead rock rather than the blues stuff or pop/soul stuff with great solos in them, but may add some bluesy stuff to volume 2 (eg a version of The Ride)

I had a similar list, but it was for a rock tour.

Lets add to the list.....

Erotic City (26th Birthday Show Practice)
Joy in Rep (It aint over. After Show Album)
Purple House (Rave 2000 PPV)
While my Guitar Gently Weeps (R & R Hall of Fame)

thanks for your ideas.

Last December
Rockhard In A funky Place

Tell me about that version of Erotic City. I've never heard a guitar-oriented, rocky version of it.

Great choice! The 12" mix is often overlooked, but a wonderful guitar showcase.

The War could be edited to fit on a rock mix CD-R, too.

I just have to comment on the inclusion of "Electric Chair" I would use the version that was on Saturday Night Live....it slams funk goodness

Haven't heard that unfortunately

You know I have always wanted to put the Rave DVD on an audio disc, how did you do it?

leecaldon said:

Where on Earth do you get half of that from? Honky Tonk Women for example is one of my fave songs... I would love to hear Prince do it. Undertaker?

blackboab said:

What about the ride ? from the sacrifice of victor or cristal ball (but this version is not as good as the first one I would say).

leecaldon said:

It's from a VHS Video practice of Prince & The Revolution at their Practice Space. It is possibly the best guitar playing by Prince. He just goes into a zone & really I think he didnt realise he was jammin' like this! The funny part after they play that song, they all act like it wasn't a big deal.

It's not an album - but I always think the guitar secion of Batdance is kicking.

ElectricBlue said:

Sounds like it's worth hearing (and seeing). What's the sound quality like?

CD recorder - just hooked it up to the DVD.

The Undertaker was an album Prince recorded around 93 I believe, to be given away with a guitar mag. Warners blocked it, but some CD copies are in existence (and very expensive). It's just P on guitar, with Michael B and Sonny T, peforming live at Paisley Park and rocking out in front of a camera. Some people think it's proof that P is a great rock guitarist, others aren't so sure.

The VHS was officially released (but I think it was fairly limited) in Europe with a very poor storyline tacked onto the beginning of it. Org note me for more info.

What other songs on there do you want to know about?

You can't leave off "Joy in Repetition" from the ONA aftershow CD.

Mmmmmm.....a guitar album....

Because some of us LOVE his guitar solos. You think of Bon Jovi when you think of great guitar solos? How sad for you then. Not EVERYTHING has to be funky to be good you know.

ThataintFunky said:

There's great guitar playing in those songs but I was thinking more along the lines of a CD themed on Prince's rockier stuff. Prince's funk rhythm guitar playing is unbelievable - but that's for another CD.
