I made one of these awhile ago, so I think I'll dig it out and see what I came up with.

As for the Best of prince that he had planned for release, I think it was 2 discs of mostly Prince songs, rerecorded during the name change period of 1993-2000. It was supposed to contain 4 new songs too I believe.

Ugh. That's all the world needs. Nothing is going to be as good as the originals ("1999 The New Master" proved that) so why even bother?

Yeah, the 1999 New Master was horrible. But just think about his current live band, tour and Celebration. If he re-recorded some of his classic cuts (not necessarily the biggest hits) with this lineup, I would love to hear those. His renditions of Peach, All the Critics, ICNTTPOYM, etc. are mind-blowing.

Oh yes!! The way he played those at the celebration was
just superb. "Peach" sounded so cool. First that weird
woodbind, others here with us kind of introduction and
then *WACKSTOMPBOOM* that funky beat drops and that fun
keyboards effect Renato did.

Same with ICNTTPOYM, which sounded different enough to
be amazing and yet not take away from the original.

Same with Dolphin, All The Critics, Something In The Water,
Bambi, The ? Of U, With U [at the piano] and a whole range
of others.

First, I thought this "Best Off" with new recordings of old
hits would be the worst thing ever. But now, with this band
and these kind of re-arrangements, I think it could possibly
be one of the BEST things ever.

vox.

03. what's my name?
04. don't play me
05. dolphin
06. interactive
07. days of wild
08. the ride
09. ripopgodazippa
10. da bang
11. count the days
12. johnny [edit]
13. 2morrow
14. she gave her angels
15. get wild
16. the holy river
17. gold


DISC2:


01. sadomasochistic groove
02. circle of amour
03. into the light/i will
04. come on
05. most beautiful girl [mustang 96 mix]
06. my computer
07. 3rd eye
08. same december
09. the good life [bigcity mix]
10. the one
11. I love U but I don't trust u anymore
12. beautiful strange
13. 319.
14. mad sex
15. greatest romance
16. soul sanctuary
17. welcome 2 the dawn
