Hi Serge!

I might have to get that...just 'cause.

it was released on a friday?

Is Fury the video mix, i.e. guitars and vocals more up-front than the album version?

might be worth just for the sleeve

i'll be happy with the live tracks, but i think you're right...i like the cover art, it's a good collector geek buy.

I have no interest in that shit.

If he would have released an extended version or a bunch of unlreleased b-sides or somethign I'd snatch it up. But this is all shit I already have.

Funny that given the choice between the so-so
Brit awards version of Fury and the Smokin' SNL
version, he chose the Britt one.
I don't get it

he probably didn't get permission to use it on the single.

where the hell is DJ Rashida? and what the hell is
the point of putting her in your black sweat video
and taking her clubbing with you if you're not even
gonna let the woman remix your cuts for bsides on
the singles

why wouldn't he? it's his performance. i mean, the audio.

if he couldn't get permission for the video footage, too
bad. still would have been better to include just audio
from the SNL than both audio and video from the brits

oh, and a b-side. a non album b-side. and a remix. damn,
i want EP singles again

ok, done ranting now.

fuck the brit awards....we wanted SNL!!!

It looks like the days of unreleased tracks, and remixes R over.

It's a particular drag, as historically, Prince has blown our minds with his b-sides and extended versions 4 years.

Even the house, techno, and urban remixes in the '90s were cool 2 a certain extent.

Even if he simply released a version of "Black Sweat" with Bass and Guitar added, and extended it in2 a high energy, sweaty funk jam, that would be slammin'.

Peace.

G.

this is why I argue his output is not what it was. Folks keep saying he has 2 - 3 cd's between Musicology and 3121. I say the proof is (or in this case isn't) in the pudding.

Where is the Vinyl for the single? And wasn't this supposed to come out in a few weeks? Or maybe time has flown.

the version on the Brit Awards wasn't even a complete version, plus he fucked up one of the lines. Pitiful. Instead of a bad version, why not just give us something like a studio version of "U Want Me" or something we don't have already. This is getting old.....really old. Did Mayte get the keys to the vault in the divorce settlement, or what?!?

Yummy!!

The Britt awards version:
Oh... we are forgetting the Wendy & Lisa/Sheila E. angle.
Stage chock full o special guests. It's a special event right?

SNL was just better.
I'm not whinning or anything. just a fact.

Even if Prince can not get the rights to the SNL Fury performance,we all know he could record the damn song live again even hotter than the SNL cut, which is what or how he should have recored and release this song in the 1st place.

Is it just me or does it seem like Prince is trying lately to make his studio recording as basic and dare I say dull as possible and when he performs them live he wears them out like nobodies business? I love to see him rip up the stage as much as the next P fan, but we are not able rto get and hear those live performances on a daily basis

co-sign....I agree with u

Anx said:

Right....and also don't 4get that this is a European cd single. So a performance at The Brits may attract more buyers then SNL...which isn't that known in Europe. Dunno if that's the reason...it may b!

I do prefer the SNL version over any version I have heard of Fury...

You guys are so demanding it cracks me up. I agree the SNL version would have been better but I don't know whose fault that is or for what reason. Could be as simple as The Brits version having more relevance in Europe.

Where might someone in the States be able to purchase this? (websites etc...)

too bad the cover sleeve drawing wasnt on the disc itself. would be sumptin to hang on your car mirror
