Camille Tracks

Sorry if this topic has been done to death but the forum search isn't working.

I've been trying to compile a list of all the Camille tracks, has anyone already done this?

If so would you mind sharing?

I want all of them official and unofficial.

I think I have them all I just want to put them in one place and I don't want to miss any I didn't think of.

Thanks

Thanks, thats great. I've never seen a list quite like that before.

But I was really looking for was a list of all the songs he did in the Camille character. From various albums, and unreleased projects. Every known song recorded in the Camille voice, regardless of source.

I wanted to make my own Camille compilation and I didn't want to leave any out.

Don't confuse Prince with a speeded up voice to be Camille.

Songs like Erotic City and Love or Money are simply Prince tracks, with a speeded voice in the mix. Same goes for the likes of Come On.

The only "official" camille tracks are:

Rebirth Of The Flesh
Housequake
Strange Relationship
Feel U Up
Shockadelica
Good Love
If I Was Your Girlfreind
Rockhard In A Funky Place
Scarlet Pussy

You could also argue Bob George is Camille, as Prince refers to the character in the song as Camille when he sings it live. But that could simply be to fit in with the story of the Lovesexy concert.

I don't think I left out any others, some will let us know if I did! Beyond the above mentioned 9 songs, then you are simply making a mix CD of Prince with a speeded up voice.

That's what I needed to know.

It was some of the other songs with altered vocal speeds I was wondering about.

thanx.

There is one more official 'Camille' track - "U Got The Look"

other than that, the rest are just tracks with speeded up vocals
(as has already been mentioned).

other non-camille tracks with speeded up vocals...
Partyman
1+1+1=3
Paradigm (George Clinton & Prince)

"Automatic" is the earliest instance of a speeded up Prince vocal on record.

I was wondering about "U got the Look",
I had read it was a Camille track, but you can't always believe what you read.

Was anyone else disapointed when they got SOTT and read Camille as lead vocals on all those songs on the sleeve? That is until I played them. Good times.

Aah....thank you of reminding me of Good Love, one of his most underrated Prince-tracks: funky, poppy, catchy, Prince sounding on helium, and incorporating dance-influences into his sound (not to forget the crazy, colourfull lyrics: .....technicoloured children on piccadily square, whisper words, erotica, when you kiss me there, Gustav Mahler is jamming on the box, I have another glass of you, this time on the rocks! Pure joyfull bliss)

Did Prince perform Caille songs in concert? How did they do that if he can't really sing that way in real life? I saw a clip of him performing Bob George and it sucked because he can't actually sing that deeply.
Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid.

There are many ways to do it. Not unlike using pedals for a guitar to distort the guitar sound.

Songs from the Camile album he's done are

Rebirth of the Flesh(1988 rehearsal)
Housequake(various tours 1987,1988,1990,2001,2005)
Strange Relationship(various tours,various arrangements 1986,1987,1988,2002)
If I Was Your Girlfriend(various tours 1987,1997,1998)

Other sped up songs played live included...

Love or Money
U Got the Look
Erotic City
Come On
Partyman
1+1+1 is 3
Automatic(if that counts)
Last Heart


In each case he uses his normal register.

From the 15 second sample I've heard "Cosmic Day" sounds like it's speeded up in the Camille like vocal! wink
