Since we don't know what either contains...which are you more excited about?

to be honest: it's the GH package. Hearing those 12" mixes in (hopefully) all their remastered glory still makes me chewing my nails.

But a new album IS a new album - on the other hand...

No Brainer...


31:21

It's new, and that makes it more exciting.

I don't Care about his GREATEST HITS or WARNER PROJECTS. I Care about his NEW INDEPENDENT EFFORTS. I Care about PRINCE's OUTPUTS..

i don't know if i believe the tracklisting in that thread, but if it's true i will definitely be picking it up. even so, i don't know if i am more excited about this than i am about the new album...just more kinda relieved that some of these mixes are seeing the light of day, and also relieved to know that it's POSSIBLE for the 12" tracks to be re-issued on CD legitimately.

but honestly, i've heard those versions a kajillion times and i have 'em on vinyl, tape and CD. i wanna hear something new.

3121!

3121 I've got all his back catalogue anyway!!

3121

I feel the same way. I have all of what's on the new GH. That's what I get for DJing Prince music. I mean I am a fan, so I have sought out all things officially released.

I can say I am looking forwrd to the new album more that this new GH...but I am eh on both.

MickG said:

Oh. I was thrown off by the acronym. The name of the disc set is Ultimate Prince.

Many thanks for the link.

3121 easily , I just hope it excites me when I hear it .That GHOP tracklist seems too all over the place to be genuine , one or 2 b-sides , some 12" extended versions ,there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reasoning behind it .

i feel that way too. it doesn't look like something packaged for casual fans and curiosity seekers. it looks like a list made to make people on the org salivate, with enough restraint applied to make it appear just a little bit legit.

3121 3121 3121
Definitely -HANDS DOWN!

MickG said:

This is the one by Rhino? If yes, that's not coming out til September!

3121 without a doubt! (don't U wanna go?)

ImYours said:

Yeah there are conflicting reports on the GH release date - 3/14/06 & 3/21/06 & 8/28/06 have all been mentioned. Take your pick until more definite info comes along.

Anxiety said:

It IS genuine. Believe me.

Anxiety said:

but who would be so sick as to make up such a thing? the guy posting over on housequake, fullasoul, has over 1000 posts...

Definately 3121, I need 2 hear something new!

Anxiety said:

And just enough insanity to kick off with Purple Medley!

I guess it it'll be an anthology until musicology

kinaldo said:

and I promise you that everything that Fullasoul says is always 100% correct.

I'm more excited about 3121, because with 3121 comes promotional bonuses like TV appearances and concerts! (I hope.) Even though I will buy both b/c I don't have some of the 12" versions.
