I got this CD in the mail today. The version of America is slightly edited, and is *only* 21:31, the original being 21:46. I'm not sure where it is edited, and I'm not planning on listening to both back to back to compare. I think it may have been transferred from the vinyl, as the sound quality is certainly inferior to the version on the ATWIAD CD. Isn't this the 1st time the extended version has been released outside the US?

Also, in the sleevenotes, it says that Miles Davis wrote "Don't Lose Your Mind" from the Tutu album in 1988 as a tribute to Prince.


Is the difference that "America" is just "chopped" off at the end, versus fading out? It doesn't really sound any different to me.

This cd is excellent and worth every penny!!!
I just got mine thru from www.amazon.fr and it was only £14.00 inc shipping and took like 3-4 days to come from France to London, UK.
I dont speak a word of French but if you get an english version of amazon in another browser it's pretty easy to order/navigate from the french one!!!
