some of the cuts say live but are actually studio recordings...its weird but looks like yet another greatest hits type of package with some recent cuts thrown in

I don't think there are supposed to be studio recordings on there. Granted, if you listen to the 30 second samples, you hear the studio versions of some songs but I think this is just a mistake on Apple's part. If the same song appears on different albums (for Example "When Doves Cry" is on Purple Rain, The Hits, and Very Best Of) Apple will use the same sound clip for everything. I'm willing to bet that some of these songs are just accidentally linked to the wrong versions.

Still, I'd be curious to know if anyone here has actually purchased it and if it's worthwhile?

It's an audio rip of that crappy bootleg DVD 'In Motion'.

It's a mixture of regular studio tracks and live tracks ripped from the Aladdin
DVD (plus one non Prince track tagged on the end for some reason).

I'm surprised Prince's laywers haven't got this thing pulled by now.

Thanks Metalorange - I was just finding my other thread about this from yesterdy to link to. My post on that thread:

WARNING - This is a boot and will be taken down from iTunes, but since it is (at least temporarily) "officially available" I think it's reasonable to let people know about it, and to post here on the org (mods, if you disagree, feel free to delete):

[link removed - Tom]

Tracklist is (my notes on each track in bold):
Uptown 4:01 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Pop Life 3:49 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
1999 3:42 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Push 5:23 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 ACTUALLY PUSH & PULL FROM ALADDIN DVD
Controversy 3:31 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
1 + 1 + 1 = 3 11:43 Prince Prince - Live Album Only FROM ALADDIN DVD
Dirty Mind 4:00 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Got a Broken Heart 5:21 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
I Wanna Be Your Lover 2:49 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Strange Relationship 3:41 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Little Red Corvette 3:04 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Pass the Peas 2:36 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Whole Lotta Love 4:23 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Family Name 5:58 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
I Would Die for You 4:22 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM 1985 LIVE VIDEO?
Take Me With You 2:44 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Shadows In the Dark 2:35 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 NOT EVEN PRINCE!!!


I just wrote a review, which probably won't get posted, but here it is anyway:
This album is a bootleg - not official. Total post-Superbowl cash-in. A lot of these tracks aren't even live - they're just the Warner Bros studio tracks pasted on. The live tracks are taken from the Prince - Live At The Aladdin DVD, which is worth getting just for 1+1+1=3, the most funky live version of this song (or almost any song) I've ever heard.
Shadows In The Dark is not even a Prince song - I don't know who it is, but it sounds nothing like Prince. And the track titled "Push" (a Prince track from Diamonds And Pearls) is actually "Push And Pull" (a Nikka Costa track here played on the Aladdin DVD by Prince and Nikka Costa).
AVOID! THIS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN SOON ANYWAY!


Of course, if Prince wanted to release a live album on iTunes today, he would totally cash-in and I would have no problem with it at all.


I agree that this will come up again and again. It will be the new 94 East - One Man Jam...
