I prefer 'Rave In2 The Joy Fantasic' to the released version. Here's the tracklist in full;

1. Rave In2 The Joy Fantasic (5:14)
(completely different recording, an upbeat fast dance track)
2. Undisputed (The Moneyopolis Mix) (5:45)
(Not radically different to the original, but somehow much better)
3. The Greatest Romance Ever Sold (8:09)
(Extended version, includes parts from the Adam & Eve mix, very good)
4. Hot Wit U (Nasty Girl Remix) (4:23)
(includes the melody and lyrics from Vanity 6's 'Nasty Girl', works very well)
5. Tangerine (2:13)
(slightly longer version)
6. So Far, So Pleased (3:24)
(same as on 'Rave Un2')
7. The Sun, The Moon And Stars (5:17)
(same as on 'Rave Un2')
8. Man'O'War (Remix) (5:12)
(again I prefer this version to the original)
9. Baby Knows (3:52)
(has an extended outro section, like the sorta thing he does live)
10. eye Love U, But eye Don't Trust U Anymore (3:33)
(same as on 'Rave Un2')
11. Beautiful Strange (4:55)
(slightly different version to the one used on the 'Beautiful Strange' video)
12. Silly Game (3:29)
(same as on 'Rave Un2')
13. Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do (3:15)
(same as on 'Rave Un2')
14. Prettyman (5:35)
(slightly extended version, carries on where original fades out)

No man! it's not a bad choice... the remix of Rave is very (I MEAN VERY) poor, but the rest is really okay... a long version of Greatest Romance and The Nasty Girl-remix of Hot With U is also worth it...

and of course... Beautiful Strange... it's definetely no waste of money... trust me

Jury's still out on that one. The version on Rave is basically the same, but with an extra distorted Guitar line over the top. The original video version seemed to have a bit more of a jazzy laid back feel. A lot of people prefer it, but there's not much in it in my opinion.

The dance version of 'Rave' is kinda OK (not great), but still miles better than the original.

the in2 version of rave is pretty much a completists item. if they didn't include it as a part of npgmc membership, i'd be hard pressed to buy it. i probably would have broken down and bought it, but, i would have been hard pressed to do so, none the less.

I dont c whats wrong with the original release of Rave i love the album,maybe cos its only the 2nd Prince c i bought & it was summer & i was just feelin it heaps,it has a very summer vibe-ish kinda sound,the ballads & the stuff like "baby knows" & "hot wit u"
I havent heard this other version,i have got "Nasty Girl (hot wit u)" & "greatest romance (adam & eve)"

Also,is "Beautiful Strange" a version of or a different name 4 "strange but true" ???
