DISC 1 IS BEING STREAMED

Thanks a lot ! The sound is amazing for a "streaming audio". Man, the tunes sound so fresh and dynamic !

I hope they're gonna be streaming the 2nd cd really soon. This is where all the 'new' stuff happens.

By the way. Controversy has never sounded this good!

The only irritating stuff about it is when you listen to the short versions of tunes like When doves cry... God you want to hear the incredible ending of this tune but no... no... no it stops .

Controversy is the long version!

One more thing. The track list of disc 1 is a lot better than I thought. The sequence is working very very well. Very promising. I'm looking forward to the real thing now.

Hmmm, 1999 is NOT the complete version. Let's see where this is going for the other tracks...

Okay, just heard it. Both Delirious and When Doves Cry are the shorter versions... What a bummer...

Still buying the set though!

...is there really any interest 2 buy this when U already have the original CD album ? Do the songs strongly and obviously sound better ? ...or better would I still wait 4 prince re-recording SOTT ?

...and My name is prince and Gett Off on this sound 2 B the "clean" version, don't they ?

Man yes it is worth buying remastered stuff. It does not sound better, it sounds WAY better. You rediscover the music completely and hear details, arrangements that could hardly hear before.
Buy the remastered "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen or "Diamond Dogs" from Bowie. These albums sound brand new.

it looks like the Ultimate has been put back to the 20th in the uk (according to amazon and play.com). So the 2 new cd's will be competing with eachother!

...ok ok... If I have the opportunity 2 buy it/them I will then follow your advice... and check... thanx.

i cant believe how much better this sounds, even on 32kbs. His whole catalogue needs this treatment! The whole dirty mind album remastered would be a dream.

Yes it is still online. use winmedia.

you know, I thought you guys were being full of shit, but even at 32kbps I can tell that there's a significant difference and I have shitty speakers...LOL!!! I can't wait to get this.

Yeah, i can tell the difference.....so its remastered?

Sign O The Times, Alphabet St. and When Doves Cry sound AWESOME!!

AND THE PURPLE RAIN INTRO!!

Very Nice,
I just pre-ordered.

a very good selection ...with the exception of My Name is Prince.

I thought id give My Name Is prince another listen, .....half way through, I’m thinking this isn't that bad.....then the Tony M rap

I've seen several track listings...what's the real listing agian? And what is Sexy Mutha?

Come on, it's not THAT good, sure it sounds a bif fresher/clearer but I would go nowhere saying it is a HUGE improvement...

but still I will reserve judgement till I have the cd's at home

Cant wait to hear 1999. Now THAT album needs remastering and should be first to get the royal treatment.

That opening synth blast of 1999 scareded me
