disc one, sure. but i think there are still lots of people who never got their mitts on some of the bootlegged 12" single collections on CD. i imagine i'd be surprised at how many folks have never heard some of those mixes.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I disagree. It would be a stupid thing to make a boot if this were actually available to buy. But it isn't (except for a couple lucky folk here.. who should feel free to start ripping them in high quality ).

Motst of us have these songs but not in this remastered quality. I for one have been looking very hard for a copy of this both in the stores, and in the boot circuit. But to no avail.

Anx said:

yeah, but there are properly made compilations of the 12" mixes out there. there's one that comes to mind...other than the fact that on the ultimate set the tracks are remastered, it still ain't up to snuff in comparison to what's out there and floating among the geeks.

Anx said:

Even disc 1 tho...

Very interested to hear the differences in a remaster (and the fact that its a new transfer from those tapes in the first place).

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

So what if that $100 was the something better that came along which you then passed up? This could be your reward for passing up 1999 The New Master!

Typical female brain, yeah this man's (or woman's) good, but a better one will surely come along.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I'm still not gonna turn down $100 if opportunity is just going to give it to me.

kinna greedy, isn't it?

absofuckinglutely

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

About as greedy as playing the Lottery.

sextonseven said:

I'd say less if it's just sitting there. It's not like you're trying to win anything.

sextonseven said:

i don't even do that. but seriously, someone else can get it.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I swear, the next time I'm in Minneapolis and I see Dansa walking down the street, I'm gonna hide behind a car or somethin' and throw some bills at your feet. And girl, you better not steal my money otherwise I will be very angry!

sextonseven said:

why are you not believing me?

sextonseven said:

I can just picture this.

Look y'all! Shausler's lettin' people look in his drawers!

JediMaster said:

And there's a LOT to look at.

I grabbed a copy just before the Best Buy sales guy pulled them from the shelve.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I'm just having fun with you. I believe you.

oh well. i used my ultimate prince money on soup.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

But weren't some of those 12 inch mixes never released on CD? That means at the very best they are conversions from vinyl. These would be the first truly digital editions - worth getting for Prince purists, at least.

metalorange said:

yup, that's what i'm thinkin'.

meanwhile, i found a cool new rhino box set for the pretenders that i'd really like to get, but i ain't spending seventy bucks on chrissie behynde, even if she's fine all of the time.

I wish they would make a press release saying "it will come out early this summer as it IS" so then people will not play $200 for a copy of something that is going to come out... and i am srorry it is worth about $20 to $30 bucks at MOST.

JediMaster said:

more draws more draws

SlamGlam said:

But why hold it till the summer? There's somthing else that's going on that's stopping this from getting released. And I don't think it has to do with Prince competing with himself.

seanski said:

leave it to prince to throw a hissy over having to compete with his own damn self.

Anx said:

Yeah, I guess you're right. We should have seen this coming!

seanski said:

"Professional art direction! Crisp sound quality! Amazing remixes! I was will be my downfall! HAVE IT REMOVED!!! OWWAHH!!!"

Anx said:

*stamping his lil' feet*

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Has anyone tried Best Buy tonight or do you think they've all pulled them? I couldn't make it out there earlier.. it's somewhat far from my house. Or is it definitely too late?
