"Crimson and Clover" is only available on the Target CD; the Lotusflow3r.com digital download version replaced Crimson and Clover with "The Morning After". The CD version of Boom is 4:54 the download version is 3:19 and the last note of the download version of boom is the beginning of morning after. Boom sounds like it ends abrubtly if you burn it to CD with the 2 second space in between each track. Use the real player to burn to CD without the two second space. You don't have that option with Windows player.

How do you know this?

yeah i think this is an incredibly good album but i'm gonna wait and
put the target version in my prince playlist and just add that song
"the morning after" as a bonus track to the end of it.

the album will have a much better flow on the target version and the
"crimson and clover" version, coupled with the longer "boom" are the
original way it's meant to be anyway.

still don't understand the reason behind this. an extra song at the
end of the album would have been fine. but why mess with the flow
of an entire album when you make 2 different versions?

i'm old fashioned and i enjoy albums as a whole. can't wait till the
next week and listen to the better version of the two.

I already know that CD version will my favourite against the download version.

"Crimson & Clover" is way better of "The Morning After" (in my opinion), and it fits really better in the sequence.

Anyway, sometimes I think P is running out of gas.
To release 2 different versions of the same album for me it seems a bad move to collect $77 from the joining and $11,98 (and many more, looking at prices all around the world) for the CD version.

Hopefully we can buy "Crimson and Clover" on iTunes.

it wouldn't have been that bad at all if he'd put that new song as a
bonus on the target edition. heck he could have put two new songs on
there and i'd have gladly got it.

but to butcher the album by taking off the 3rd song and replacing it
with something else?

I had Crimson and Clover months ago.lol

almost everyone did

how do i get Crimson and Clover?

i could do without the Morning After Pill

That's funny how tastes are different. "The morning after" is my favorite song from "Lotusflow3r" and I think his remake of "Crimson and clover" is awful. Joan Jett did a better version in my opinion, of course, no one's is as good as the original Tommy James version.

I dislike the song Crimson & Clover but love P's version. Morning After is nice to listen to, but a bit too cute.

It's $ that's the bomb.

I just know.

Now for those who have heard ALL tracks and want to sequence everything, where would you put The Morning After?

At least he did this part of the marketing correct. So, even those who joined the site and have heard and burned the CDs by now will STILL have to get the official releases from Target in order to get everything he's offering.

Still though, what an awful, all-sizzle-and-no-steak website!! Here's hoping he gets his shit together by the end of month 1...

Ive stuck C&C after TMA, and i'll see how it flows....

It depends on what kind of computer you have. Macs call it the "trash" and PCs call it the "recycling bin."

tecstar said:

The only reason I question that sequence is above statements saying Target version has Boom being longer and then sequencing straight into C&C. So I'm thinking where can that leave TMA? If one wants all songs to be present maybe after C&C? I dunno.

timorousme said:

Haven't heard it yet.But I've heard people liken it to All The Midnights In The World which would explain the dislike for it around here.

whatever happened to that 6 minute instrumental before crimson and clover?

That was the original mix of Lotus flower before it was broken up into 2 pieces.

I thought we all knew this?
Then again we'll have to wait till Sunday to be sure.

therat said:

you can also do this with itunes

therat said:

Oh. Cool.

RodeoSchro said:

Why do that when you can get a cheap 3CD?
You don't want some proper storage medium?

seems like the CD version of boom is identical to the download version, contrary 2 what someone was stating.....anyone can confirm please?

Marco81 said:

Boom on the physical cd copy of LotusFlow3r is 3:20 and flows straight inti Crimson and Clover.

Graycap23 said:

Thanks Graycap...I think you've already told this same person this fact on a different thread

I put C&C after Boom and then used iTunes to trim it's length to 3:48 so there is no few second gap between it and The Morning After. Works great - no flow ruining few seconds of silence.

so Boom is no different on the target release??
