I used to really like this thread, but maybe it's time someone took it out back and put it down...

I'm coming across as a cock?! I don't give a CRAP what you do with your Music files! But if you spread them, leave the files in its original format so the next guy can make up his own mind!

Right this is getting silly now...at what point did i say that i was going to spread them around?.. and there you go again telling people what to do..

BACK ON TOPIC

A good program for converting FLAC to WAV (or Apple Lossless, MP3, etc) on the Mac platform is "Max".

The sound quality on this is excellent - better than any version I have (except for Movie Star from the Crystal Ball collection).

Prince, a guarantee from me to you: release it, and I will buy it from you.

In honor of Squirrelgrease I will just say, I would sooner dress up as a pitbull and wander into Michael Vick's back yard before giving up my Box O Chocolates

is it safe to assume the rest of the sundry assortment of outtakes will get this kind o'treatment? I wanna hear Crucial and The Ball in pristine condition . . .

only if you know where the original tapes are

It's awesome to hear "We Can Funk" in good quality and the way it should have been released!

I could listen to this version all day, this is Prince at his best, a classic Prince track and one of my all time favourites.. the whole atmosphere pulls me right in, God I love this song, the lyrics, the melody and every little sound that's in it!

By the way, the version on Graffiti Bridge sucks ass.

In comparison, I agree, but it is based on the original '83 version, the '86 version on BOC is the 'remake', as it were.

In honor of Squirrelgrease: I would rather reenact the Lovesexy album cover at my high school reunion than give up my Box O' Chocolates.

I would rather pluck out all my pubic hair one by one than give up my copy of Box O Chocolates.

I would rather go to "Frankie Goes To Hollywood" gig wearing a tiny pink t-shirt and with no underwear on than give up my copy of Box O Chocolates.

The real pleasure for me is hearing tracks that I was previously not bothered about (Witness 4 The Prosecution, Place In Heaven) in better quality. It's like hearing some great new tracks for the first time.

I was listening to All Day, All Night through headphones and I could finally hear every single word that he speaks in his opening dialogue. A few of them were hard to make out on The Work.

That song is the perfect balance of everything Prince. Sad that it was never immortalized on an album.

Yes, but I was talking specifically about the Prince version.

Ok...

I would rather Rod Blagojevich be the administrator of Prince's next website than give up my Box O Chocolates.*

this has to be the most overrated boot ever . . .

i love this boot and i wish i was as clever as all of you to come up with reasons why i wouldn't want to part with it!

i'm just listening to dance electric right now and it's too bad this one didn't make it onto this boot b/c it sounds a lot like the rest of the album.

also, we can funk and can't stop this feeling i got are WAY better on this boot than on the graffiti bridge album. what was he thinking?!
