Tangerine17, would you mind posting the final tracklist again with details of
which versions are used? I noticed the info is only half there on that new
tracklist compared to the original sequence you posted a while back. (e.g.
is the acoustic version of '7' still being used, and is 'I Wanna Be Your Lover'
the single edit or album version? etc.)
Hope you don't mind...

I assume disc two starts with My Name Is Prince (is that the single edit?)
and disc 1 ends with Nothing Compares 2 U?

Even though I have all of these tracks, I will be buying this. I am pretty pumped up about this one. It will be nice to have all of these mixes on one compilation. Perhaps this is a sign of more to come? Maybe more from the vault? Wasn't the extended mix of Kiss suppossed to appear on the "Roadhouse Garden" cd from NPGrecords? And didn't it say "previously unreleased?" I don't think I ever saw an official release of Kiss (extended). Correct me if I am wrong. Any way, Rhino, give us a "Rare and Raw" Prince compilation next.

sorry I have been asked to not post any more details but I will tell you that 7 (Acoustic) was replaced by the regular version. I wanna is single. COntroversy is full-length version.

Tangerine17, you seem to be in the know about at WB,
Let them know the fans are very please with the changes, nobody needs the Purple Medley, now this is something I will certainly buy.

I am very happy with the final. Of course different people have different tastes. But to me, it was all about getting "Let's Work" 12" on there so it nice to have it on there. Will let the team know and I appreciate it too on behalf of myself cuz this has been crazy working on.

Tangerine17 said:

True, "Lets Work" is a must!
Good job, hope it sells well for you guys.

I may be in the minority here, but I have NEVER been a fan of "Money Don't Matter Tonight"

Even back in the day when I was young and misguided and thought D&P was a masterpiece, I still was bored to tears by that song.

And here it is popping up on another greatest hits comp....Oh well...


ditto for Nothing Compares 2 U

WHY?




that being said, I will be 1st in line to get this package when it actually hits the shelves...

People.... BUY THIS so others will be released.

COntroversy is full-length version.

What is it with Delerious? I've always thought it was shite.

Where are the key tracks then?

When U were mine
The beautiful ones
If I was ure girlfriend
Adore
Sometimes it snows in April.....

Cream NPG MIX - how shit was that?!!

That said i'll still buy it for the remastered versions

See this is why Fans should never be in charge of compiling 'best of' albums.
They always pick loads of album tracks and non-hits!
