Just spotted this on ebay. Has anyone got this CD or heard the remixes. Is it worth buying?

1. Gett Off - Single Remix
2. Gett Off - Houstyle
3. Violet The Organ Grinder
4. Gett Off - Flutestramental
5. Gangster Glam
6. Clockin' The Jizz - Instrumental
7. Gett Off - Extended Remix

I have that. It is excellent and worth getting. Love it

This Gett Off maxi-CD single has been around since August 1991, right before the release of Diamonds and Pearls.

It's pretty good, but I would say the Cream 9-cut maxi-single is better.

I'd say it's worth the price of admission just for "Violet The Organ Grinder" alone. I think that may be the last great "b-side".

Its very good imnot the one for instrumentals but i love the Gett Off - Flutestramental, Houstyle is cool too.

It's worth buying it, depending on the price. This maxi single is relatively easy to get, so I wouldn't pay too much for it.

I have this maxi-single and I've always thought it sucks maxi-balls. Save your money.

Flutestramental is the tightest mix on there.. of course Violet is worth it too

I still have the VHS somewhere from back then

i have this as well. got much lov 4 it.

violet the organ grinder is the sh*t. I haven't listened to it in years. The way he was humpin' that bed in the video...that was great!

yup

Another vote for "Grab it for Violet".

That song reminds me of a time back in the day involving an old co-worker of mine, a hooker and the Lower West Side in NYC. Ahh...good times.

Got mine for £1, love the violet vid

And the video for Gangster Glam? Prince in speedos!

Yes,this is worth buying.It's one of the best Prince 12" maxi singles.The remixes are incredible.

I think the "Cream" remixes were disappointing.

I prefer the Gett Off remixes to the Cream remixes and The Beautiful Experience.

It's worth it, if for nothing else but Violet The Organ Grinder. I just so happened to like the other mixes as well.

I love it. The remix of Gett Off is way better than the album version. It includes much more stuff. Violet the Organ Grinder is as good as it gets. Gangsta Glam is a little cheesy, but I have always liked it.

This is how singles should be
Just buy it you'll have no regrets

Thanks everyone. I've managed to pick up a copy fot $8.99.

BTW, I love the declaration on the cover "Nothing can stop Prince and the N.P.G."

Really looking forward to hearing "Violet the Organ Grinder".

Now you need to get the video maxi remix of the same thing. This has like Gett Off remixes videos and the excellent Violet the Organ Grinder Video on here

Was the remix VHS video ever released on DVD?

Nope, but I transfered mine with my $50 vhs-dvd burner with perfect quality and it looks great. I also did it with the others too.

U can get it on itunes as well

It's a classic. Get it if you can.

US 12":



UK 12", although the mixes have different names they are the same mixes on the US 12":



US 12" promo includes Thrust dub and Rosie's dub not on any other record:



Original 12" release, sent out to DJ's on his birthday. One sided promo. this mix is called "approx: damn near 10 mins". It's longer than the official mix (this picture is from my camera phone and not my digital camera):



Here's my copy of the VHS. Is this a different cover or did the other photo in this thread just cut the black part off?:
