Work It Out

or The Work.

thedance said:

I felt that most of the work is not clear, meaning it is v frustrating to listen knowing there should be better quality out there ...in the twilight zone


Let me quote a few frustrating ones for example

Turn It Up, Do Yourself A Favour, Extra Loveable, No Call U, Moonbeam Levels, Baby You're A Trip

Truth is, I threw away my 39cd works cd collection as it 'pains' me to listen, ripping only very selective tracks as it took up too much space

There are clear tracks there of course from works 5-6 onwards but the pre 90s are generally NOT clear quality...also works 6 onwards consist of many remixes and they are not new tracks exactly

ass said:

i suppose it depends where you get them from. i have 'Turn It Up' in A+ quality. I also have better versions of 'Data Bank' and 'We Can Funk' (possibly obtained from AMP) than on Box of Chocolates, but i'm happy to listen to those versions as part of that collection cause overall it's excellent.

haven't listened to it in awhile, but I remember the version of "Turn It Up" frmo The Work sounding pretty awesome.

ass said:

Are you talking about the 2009 version because the earlier version isn't circulating in perfect quality.

From the songs circulating from the amazing 1985-1986 to my knowledge we only need In a Large Room, Neon Telephone and Big tall wall in really great qualitiy now.

Romeoblu said:

do we really need ANY quality version of Big Tall Wall?

The 1980 version of "Wouldn't You Love To Love Me?" is in remarkably great quality...I'm always amazed at how good this one sounds for a 30 year old outtake.

renfield said:

There is no 1980 version of Wouldn't You Love To Love Me..That version you're talkin about is from 1978..

Marrk said:

I have those as well. If we are talking about the same versions, the problem I have with those particular tracks is that his vocals are almost overpowering the music. It's not blended well IMO. It almost sounds like Ure in the booth with him while recording the vocals which on one level is pretty cool, but after a while it becomes annoying.

ass said:

There r all these intrumental tracks from around 1978-1979 and a lot of other songs that were released in the "Studio Nights" series back in 1995 (many "For You" & "1999" outtakes,"Miss Understood", "U Gotta Shake Something" and several others i don't have in mind right now). I also have "The Line" (unless u're confusing it with "Cross The Line"?), "Your Love Is So Hard" and the whole unreleased "New Power Generation" maxi with almost perfect sound quality, as well as the unreleased "Exodus" & "Corporate World" & "Poet 99" tracks and the 1989 Jill Jones songs & many others i 4got about.

At this point it might actually be shorter 2 make a list of the songs we DON'T have with a good sound quality

databank said:

Just for the hell of it, I might dig out my old copy of Jewel Box and see what we had to put up with before...

Tape hiss, pops, clicks, jumps, muffled vocals and annoying fade outs... It's astounding really that we have such high quality tracks now.

Romeoblu said:

... and 'Crucial' (full 7:00 saxaphone version) which IMHO is superior to the guitar solo version. The Sax MAKES that song

PacManPlus said:

You crazy boy . . . Prince's manic guitar playing makes it a PRINCE song . . . . and one of the best while we're at it.

that crucial version is extremely unclear

What about "Kiss My Ass"?

Marrk said:

I too have better versions of We Can Funk and DataBank than whats on BOC. You must have the same sourced recording that I have Marrk. Maybe I'll put out my version of these songs so people can rave about the quality I have.

ass said:

Help please, I need to clarify myself:

a) Dance With The Devil
I never came across a "Clear Quality" version, only "not too bad sounding" versions but ever someway muffled.
Was it released recently in Clear Quality?!?!?!?

b) Electric Man & Radio Must B Funked
I never knew these 2 titles existed.
Where did they come from?!?!?

Thank you.

BoraBora said:

As far as I know Radio Must be Funked is just a snippet. Full track isn't circulating and Electric Man is the live extended portion of Question of U from the Nude Tour. Again, no studio version circulating.

That still true?

errant said:

BoraBora said:

Ive only heard electric man LIVe during the Lovesexy tour and Nude tour I believe...the other one, not sure Ive heard of

ass said:

fake version of "Funk Radio" which is still in glorious Real Audio quality.
