Rave Un2/In2..Which is best?

Just listened 2 Rave un2 the joy fantastic and its remix partner Rave in2 the joy fantastic back 2 back. I am leaning more towards The remix version(Rave in2..) being my favourite of the two albums. The alternative versions of the Rave Un2 tracks are far superior 2 me, and the inclusion of Beautiful Strange make Rave In2 my version of choice.....Which do u guys prefer and what r your favourite tracks/remix's?

I like both, but for me, it's a meshing of the two.

Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic
Undisputed
The Greatest Romance Ever Sold (extended - just to keep it interesting)
Hot Wit U
Tangerine (extended)
So Far, So Pleased
The Sun, The Moon The Stars
Everyday Is A Winding Road (my Larry-free version)
Man O' War
Baby Knows (extended, but with Sheryl's voice still in it, not Kip's)
I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore (Extended)
Beautiful Strange
Silly Game
Strange But True
Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do
Prettyman (extended)

On my iTunes list:

Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic (I don't like the Rave Un2 original, the remix is much better)
Undisputed (Moneyapolis remix)
The Greatest Romance Ever Sold (imo the 8 min. extended is well the best track on the album)
Hot Wit U (Nasty Girl Remix)
Tangerine (extended)
So Far, So Pleased
The Sun, The Moon And Stars
Man O' War (I don't like the remix here, the original is better)
Baby Knows (extended 3:54)
I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore (the Rave Un2 original)
Beautiful Strange
Silly Game
Strange But True
Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do
Prettyman (5:36 extended)

Rave Un2.... 6/10
Rave In2.... 7/10

Beautiful Strange is fantastic though! love

What's the back story on this? Why would Prince do the tinkering a year and a half later on a project that was not a huge hit?

It's so contrary to his creative process.

IMO, you have to cherry-pick the best versions from each and put them together. and then still scrap half the tracks and go back in the studio and create some more if you want to get something salvageable out of this project.

A fellow Rave fan. I'm in love biggrin

Anyway, as people have said.....you do have to pick the best from both for the best experience.

Overall, I'd say In2 edges it.

In2 - on the basis of Beautiful Strange alone.

whichever one that was the "commercial" release is the only one i have. but i love Undisputed (as Chuck D is a god) so i'm curious to hear the OTHER version of Undisputed. is he still on it? i also would love to hear the extended Tangerine. that should've never been so short anyway. And i'm glad Beautiful Strange showed up SOMEWHERE. its one of the gems i DID find from the I-Vault

the versions on "In2" are superior in both of those cases.

There's a ringing drone noise in the Nasty Girl mix that makes me nuts. I can't deal with it.
