It's so much easier to just rip one long-ass 45 minute mp3.

Now the joke's on Prince!

.

I just recently finally purchased the Euro tracked CD. To be honest, I never skip a track when I play it, go figure...

1 of my 10 favourite albums

It's such a good album.

CinisterCee said:

Exactly. This was one time that Prince made a great decision. I would have liked to be in on that meeting with the Warner Bros executives.

Suit: "...so, you want it tracked as one? This ain't classical music!"

Purps: "Yes. And you'll do it, or I'll write 'WB sucks' on my cheek or something like that."

Prince:
Rain is wet
Sugar is sweet
Track the Lovesexy album as 1
Or I'm'a get ugly and start stompin' ya with my feet

Suit: YES!

squirrelgrease said:

Yeah I have an untracked one but bought the tracked about a year ago. I used to not like Dance On but the years of conditioning from the 1 track means it's now grown on me and I don't skip anything either.

Man...I love my tracked version!

I tracked it myself. I don't skip any songs, but I like to put the songs in playlists.

a quick quetsion

how can you tell the difference between te tracked and the untracked version? I have the european release that's split up in tracks...Want the untracked version as well, but need to know how to recognise it...not interested to buy a dozen copies until i stumble acros the right one.

thx & grtz

^mine was made in Germany. So I guess the germans pressing are all tracked

Import it from America?

A good solution is to buy it from amazon.co.uk

kev1n said:

US version is untracked

Avoid an 'import' version.


**Side note: Remember when Wal-Mart refused to carry this album because of the cover art?

Oh- and I love my tracted cd!

The catalogue number printed in the top left-hand corner on the back of the CD is in the original cursive font on the older, 1-track version, but is in a plainer, standard font on the new, tracked version.

Really?

I could see that back in the day. Man, I think Walmart finally got over themselves. I went to Walmart looking for a Bobby Brown CD last month, and I saw Dr. Dre The Chronic for sale.

i do the same thing. I had to have it tracked because i use my ipod or itunes on my computer 99% of the time now when i listen to music.

squirrelgrease said:

Nah, it went rather like this:

Suit: "...so, you want it tracked as one?"
Purps: "Yes."
Suit: "Well that's alright, nobody's going to be buying this in CD format anyway. That thing never took off like it was supposed to have had.
Purps: "Ain't that the truth."

I have both versions and I never skip,but it's cool to have the tracked version for mix cd's.

Profit shares being down can move mountains.

thank GOD for my vinyl

I do have a tracked version as well
but like most I barely skip any tracks

I really dislike album wraps though
like an 8-track tape

Lovesexy was my favourite cassette for years. Remember them?

I don't really care for the first song or "Glam Slam". I would probably skip those if I could.

CinisterCee said:

No! That's my favorite! I wish I had the tracked version, so I could put it on repeat.

I got the 12 inch
I play it over & over too
there's an extended version
on the bside if I'm not mistaken
I had that one since a kid

@ Cee - HOOOOOW could you skip over "Eye No"/"Glam Slam"
I don't know... I always loved "Glam Slam"
and Eye No I liked at first listen
I used to play up until "hundalisiliah" (sp)
then the beat drops...
and the lil percussion break with the horns...
I love how it cranks up...
but then I would skip it to Alphabet St.
I can't deny it now though
love "Eye No"

most of Prince's catalog
took me several spins to get into though

I'm still working on the 90's

I just would rather start at "Alphabet St".

And what I meant to say is I wouldn't skip over any of the other songs.
