Probably half the album i really really love,the rest i am not so in2,or don't play it much.
So my faves,i put 2gether on 1 cd
Any1 else done the same with Emancipation,Crystal Ball,SOTT/DreamFactory or Hits/Bsides?
my Emancipation:
1: Jam Of The Year
2: Right Back Here In My Arms
3: 1 Kiss At A Time
4: Dreamin' About U
5: Sex In The Summer
6: Joint2Joint
7: Style
8: Slave
9: Mr Happy
10: Can't Make U Love Me
11: La La La Means Love U
12: Betcha By Golly WOW!
13: Saviour
14: One Of Us
15: Emancipation

You missed off In this Bed I Scream though...

Here's mine:

Jam Of The Year
Courtin' Time
White Mansion
Soul Santuary
Curious Child
Dreamin' About U
Joint 2 Joint
Sex In The Summer
New World
Sleep Around
My Computer
The Love We Make
Emancipation

I also edited 'Emancipation' and came up with a kickass album.I removed crap like "We Gets Up","Style","La Da Da",the four remakes and a few other songs.

Cloudbuster, I like your version better - except I'd take off White Mansion and add One Of Us.

Joshy84au, out of your 15 songs, FOUR are covers!

I have done the same - not with SOTT/Dream Factory, but with Gold. I added Ripopgodazippa, Acknowledge Me, the original Endorphinemachine, and Days Of Wild.

...Acknowledge me is is one of those songs that makes me feel fabulous no matter what mood I'm in.

Where was the original Endorphinmachine from?

Where is The Holy river? The Best song on the album in my opinion.

Mine would be:

Jam Of The Year
Right Back Here In My Arms
Somebody's Somebody
Betcha By Golly Wow
Slave
Soul Sanctuary
Saviour
In This Bed I Scream
Face Down
Sleep Around
The Holy river
My Computer
One Of Us
The Love We Make
Emancipation

I guess Holy River hasn't really hit me yet.

& Acknowledge Me makes me happy too,one of my fave JAAAMS.
Those covers...i just love them.So beautiful.
Its just MY faves thats all,not what the best is on it,but what i like the most.

You know as much as people slam this album it is VERY good R&B. Just about everything on disc 2 is top notch songs (except for holy river- what was he thinking)If I edited emancipation down this would be my choice


Jam of the Year

White Mansion---(a must!)
I can't make you love me--(yes this was a good cover!)
In this Bed I Scream--- one of my favs
Sex in the Summer
Soul Sanctuary
Curious Child
Dreamin' About you---so beautiful
Joint 2 Joint---also one of my favs
Saviour
The Plan
Slave
The Human Body- not one of my favs but it's different
Sleep Around
The love we make---another of my favs
Emancipation--- Awful track but it's the name of the album


B sides would be:
Emale
Style
My computer
New World
Dmaned If I do


Songs the Should not have left the studio
Da,Da,Da
Face Down
Get yo Groove on

"Emale" is the best song on the album!! How dare you make it a B-side!!!

emale is a cool song. not a very strong one tho imo

Don't forget In This Bed I scream and White Mansion--- 2 of my all time favorites and classic Prince!

i personally think that his vocal on 'lets have a baby' is amazing. some great soul moments- "i thinkin about a lil' baby..a baby sittin right by my side".

Now, if the production wasnt as smooth, then i'd say we would have another classic in a similar vein to how come you dont call me anymore.

p, u gotta get back to that rushed, just get it to tape production i.e ballad of dorothy parker style.

geez i never play it!

I think In this Bed I Scream really is worth an album alone! That one is a JAM!

PFunk, you gotta listen to that again...

yeah in this bed i scream is seriously a killer song, but so is soul sanctuary and dreaming bout u and joint 2 joint

Cloudbuster said:

Hey, you missed Right Back Here In My Arms, Saviour, In This Bed I Scream, and Face Down! I'd probably take off JOTY, New World, and maybe Courtin' Time!!

alexnvrmnd said:

I actually like all four that you mentioned it's just that most albums these days are often too long and most artists albums over 45/55 minutes start to wreck my head.

Too much of a good thing an' all.

Joshy84au said:

this is maybe the first time i've seen a 1-CD edit of Emancipation that's WORSE than the 3-CD version

where's Holy River? Bed I Scream? Love We Make? Sleep Around? My Computer?

Yeah, I think the set has 2 or 3 weaker tracks- but I'm happy to keep it just the way it is!

I even added a couple of outtakes from the period and made it even longer!

I can't stand all the cheesy talking and pappy ad-libs in La La (Means I Love U). The live versions are better.

Although the "I love u Chicago", "Did u worship?", "Can anybody who had ate meat for tea pleae leave the concert?" parts are annoying.

Nobody can agree on the best twelve tracks, just as well we got all three CDs huh?

"One of Us"

For me, less is more. A killer single 12 track CD should have RnB, rock, pop, and ballads. Here it is:

Jam of the year
Damned if I do
In this bed I scream
Soul Sanctuary
Joint 2 Joint
Slave
Holy River
Style
Sleep around
Saviour
My Computer
The Love we make


mmm...Elvis has left the building!

its not like im selling it 2 people,its my favourite songs that I WILL be listening to.
damn!

Joshy84au said:

That is pretty kick-ass. I might have to make it myself.

Ever think about adding a 4th disc.
