The Work Pt 1 (Napster Version): A little help? Been looking for this for ages. Does anyone know where I can get it? Do any 'compilations' feature this version? If so, just a name will do. Please note, I am not soliciting bootlegs (not sure what the org's rules are on legal downloads which are no longer unavailable). Any help would be great, thanks in advance! |

The Work was never a legal download. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The Work Pt 1 is a song from The Rainbow Children and was availabel for download for NPGMusicclubmembers before the album came out. | |

wasn't it a cd single from a tour and from the NPGMC?

I forgot it was available through the NPGMC store.
Why not just buy The Rainbow Children CD? That way, you'll have the whole thing in lossless format - instead of a crappy mp3. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The Napster/NPGMC CD-Single version of The Work, Part 1 is different than the Rainbow Children track. It has Prince's infamous keyboard solo-while also playing guitar in the mix. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Could be that there was another version released. Maybe some orger know more about it ? | |

Wait. So is the Napster version the same as the one on The Work/U Make My Sunshine cd-single?? Strange. I've read a couple of times that the cd-single version is the same as what's on the album. Can anyone confirm this? As you've probably guessed, I don't own the cd-single (it's a little out of my price range) but by the looks of things I'm going to have to ebay it come New Year. |

The CD single version (also made avilable for download previously) is not the same as the album version.
By way of example, the lyrics are not the exactly the same:
Single: http://www.dtt-lyrics.com....html#work
Album: http://www.dtt-lyrics.com....html#work . [Edited 11/15/10 15:14pm] ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

As langebleu pointed out with the PrinceVault link, it was made available with the NPGMC Ahdio Show Transmission #3 download. It clocks in at about 3:36, about a minute short of the Rainbow Children track. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Ok, thanks for the help guys. The good news: it's available on CD. The bad news: I've got a new CD to hunt down. |

Okay - then I have it somewhere. Not sure I've ever listened to it, though. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
