i feel prince should have had all my dreams and evry other unreleased songs that the fans really wanted. the original version of sexual suicide blows away the album version. i think it could've been an awesome album. the original crucial with that horn solo i would've rather had. oh well!

many of us have been saying that since it's release

So you think Prince should have put some 300 songs on this 3 CD set then!?

Agreed - but I think it was held back for inclusion on the mysterious Roadhouse Garden project...maybe one day it will be set free

It's great as is.

There's another version of Sexual Suicide? I love that song.

yes.. the original version is just its falsetto by itself.

crystal ball 2

He's saving the good shit. He wasn't gonna blow his load all in one go.

My Favorite Prince album.


1. Crystal Ball
2. SOTT
3. Emancipation (Only because there is a mass of material. It's about 50/50)
4. Purple Rain
5. New Power Soul (yeah I know 99% disagree- so what. My list)
7. Parade
8. Graffiti Bridge
9. Dirty Mind
10.Prince (sorry P, I know and understand how you feel about this one but . . )

Why not

there is some junk on those 3 cds though, isn´t there?

all the remixes and shit were unnecessary, imo

that´s what i´m talkin´ about

Bloated release

Y'know what's funny? When folks say, "Prince should release everything." And then, when he does a sizable vault dump, they say wanna nitpick the tracks and say, "Well, we didn't mean that."

the only cd's 2 be on his best 5 of all time won't change!!
1)PURPLE RAIN-when doves cry, the beautiful ones , computer blue....enough said
2)SIGN O' THE TIMES-prince's most electic work ever
3)!999- where the minneapolos sound starts and stops with. amazing arrangements and drum machine beats, the sound effects were amazing on this.
4)DIRTY MIND-PRINCE finally came in2 his own. i don't give a fuck attitude on this one. PRINCE's when u were mine is a 4ever classic song
5)PARADE-PRINCE claims that he rushed this one. looking back on it there are so many interesting tracks on it. it's the kind of album to blast on a summers day. i just wish all my drams, there's others here with us and old friends4 sale were on it though

1999 is not better than any of these albums???

I'd love a full CD quality version of Do Yourself A Favor more than anything.

Ellie said:

Fuck yeah!

I'd like to hear a lot more stuff from the Dirty Mind and Controversy eras, there really isn't too much circulating.

I was flipping through The Vault the other day and read something I hadn't seen before about, I think it was, 'Hard To Get' from the Rebels sessions, and how it was remade in the Dirty Mind timeframe, would love to hear that.

NouveauDance said:

favorite rebles track, prince and rock goes very well

NouveauDance said:

Really? Huh. I haven't seen a re-made Hard to Get.

rusty1 said:

how ironic that ur top 5 includes the time period u constantly say on every thread 1982-1987 gee isn't that funny?

Genesia said:

It's very different to the 'rock' Rebels version. It's a more minimal electronic
rendition, sounding closer to 'Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)'
or 'Annie Christian'.

BorisFishpaw said:

Interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

LinnLM1 said:

Sorry, no. I really considered it though. 1999 is still behind 3121 and Musicology.

JudasLChrist said:

That's just what I was wondering. Wow, you learn something new everyday!

Genesia said:

Get out of my head!!!!! That's the damn truth right there.

Genesia said:

Yeah, that sounds very interesting! In my opinion, his rock songs are underrated, so I'd love to hear what he does with 'Hard to Get'

Sounds right up my alley. You won't find it though folks, it's not generally circulating. Boris is a lucky sod is all.
