4DaFunk's Columbia '81 question Recentky downloaded it but there's a problem with my Columbia '81: the sound is indeed better than on my City Lights BUT the transition between "Uptown" and "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" is fucked, with a few seconds missing (which ruins everything, considering that the transition between these 2 songs is just so great). I checked and the original City Lights HAS the missing seconds and a perfect transition. Is my download of the 4DaFunk release fucked up or did they really make a mistake with it (hard to believe but who knows)? I'd be really grateful if someone could check if you have this problem on your 4DaFunk version, too: maybe i need to d/l it again from anutha source.

Transition is fine ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. | |

Mine's is similar to yours, Databank. I just checked. It's like the last few notes or whatever are chopped off, abruptly cutting the song off when transitioning into WYWTMSB. I never really listened to that version, so I never even noticed it until now. I usually go straight to City Lights for this show. | |

I have a similar problem with Atlanta 1980 where it goes quiet for some seconds on WYWTMSB but I'm ignoring it because it stellar otherwise. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

So it means that it's not flawed but that a fucked up copy is widely circulating. Thanks Langebleu, and let us guys find a better copy A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

Then you don't have the 4DF version: that gap has been perfectly filled. | |

BTW i'm really sick of people sharing shit on the internet: albums with missing tracks, amputated tracks, corrupted files, mistitled songs... The time I waste because of that shit!!! I DO check things before sharing them for chrissakes, so y can't other poeple do it?! A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

Sometimes people don't even realize they have a flawed file or don't bother to check.
As a rule of thumb, you can take for granted there's no such thing as a bad transition on any 4DF release. Fixing and smoothing bad transitions is one of the trademark features of their releases. | |

My copy is also clean. I've checked the transition (FLAC, gapless). No problem. | |
