What do you think would make a good collection for the outtakes from 85-87 that would make up the 3 actually released discs that year?

mine is as follows. but first, a note about why included some tracks and not others. i picked tracks that didn't have a lot of involvement from Revolution members. how i determined this was through the DMSR book, Days of Wild, a somewhat faulty memory, and by looking at which tracks he's released since then (like on the released Crystal Ball, he didn't put things on there that were Revolution-style tracks -- like Movie Star, The Question Of U, Sexual Suicide, etc.). that means a lot of the tracks from the early configurations of Dream Factory were left off. and the cut-off point was mid-87 for recording dates. the structure is based on the released track order of the 2 SOTT discs and the Black album. each disc is approximately 66 minutes long.

artwork is like the black album. solid black. with a peach SOTT font. only "Camille" is scrawled on the front, witht he tracklists on back.

Here's what I think. Great job! I can tell a lot of work went into this. One suggestion if I may: add Lovesexy. It's the perfect ending to a perfect story.

damn you i was so happy with it. and there you go making me rethink things. but... good suggestion. i like it

DAMN, that set would be HOT. Take off Play in the Sunshine & Make Your Mama Happy & you're all set!

I would put "I would die for you" in there instead of "U got the look"...or maybe just put them both in, but that is just my suggestion. Other then that is sounds super fab Aaron. A job well done.

I JUST heard The Grand Progression for the first time - sad huh? DAMN he needs to release that mutha!

CalhounSq said:

yea that song has goosebumbs written all over it!

2 bad he didn´t include it in the ONA album, would have been a perfect match...

talk2thejay said:

DAMN!! It REALLY would have been perfect!!

Why doesn't he release this stuff? Is this a way to keep the legacy of his genius alive once he's no longer w/ us? I wanna hear this stuff NOW. I could die tomorrow - why would he rather me hear a hissy-ass bootleg instead of the real deal?? 'Cause I GOTTA hear it, I can't help it.

Does he think those songs are no longer relevant? That can't be - he wouldn't have bothered to perform Empty Room if it wasn't relevant. That's just one of MANY gems & he knows it. RELEASE THE GEMS!!!

MostBeautifulGrlNTheWorld said:

I Would Die 4 U is much too old. And with the Revolution. Doesn't fit the period this set is covering.

I've changed my mind, TRON. No disc 4! And that's the way it is It's already convoluted enough without another disc

hmmpf! sure, fine, whatever. For future reference, don't be asking me what I think about this nonsense.

TRON said:

lol

It was just an ...

I like this. Sprawling is good when it comes to Prince. That time period is so strong that all the songs are keepers. I have a feeling once these discs are made and you can actually listen to them, you'll just be marvelling at the wealth of great material recorded within a year's time.

Cool thread. I would definitely use "A Place In Heaven," even if you're already using "Movie Star."

i have a more expanded 4 disc version already too. dare i even contemplate it?

you should at least type it out so we can see what you're thinking.

TRON said:

nah. i've actually cut it back to 3 again, it's very close to my original list. but actually shorter

indecisive bitch! don't taunt me like that.

TRON said:

look at the original. take off Sexual Suicide, Question of U, and Sex of It

nope. I don't care anymore. I don't wanna know. j/k

why are you getting rid of these?

TRON said:

good question. too old and too new i think to put on there.

now all i need to do is get ahold of some 90 minute discs and start this torturous process all over again

Ya know...it's the love of Prince that makes forget all those philosophical differences I have with people here. Nice work, Aaron.
