Days of Wild (studio version)

Is the new 4DF release (1994 DAT) the best sounding recording out there? I love it, but compared to live performances of DoW, parts sound kind of muffled (background vocals, the keyborad bleeps, poet 99). Maybe this wasn't a "final mixdown," as they say. Prince might have punched up the mix a bit to release it on The Gold Experience.

Anyway, I'm delighted with this release. Having Days of Wild in its original form is a 16-year old quest finally come true. **sigh**

I'm enjoying the new release.

But it is not an "official" new 4DaFunk release. It is a joint venture with Enfant Terrible, hence no 4DF catalogue number.

Nice to have Days Of Wild in good quality though.

I don't know, but this is much better than the other versions I've heard before.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Nothing can beat this version. We hadn't been treated to something similar ever before.
