Wow, these mixes are really pedestrian. Like in the mid-90s where every pop single would have 8 mixes and they all sounded the same.

I've never been crazy about 'Dance 4 Me', but it is one of the better attempts at such a track in recent years - did have remix potential, but they gave the duties to some real boring remixers, nothing going on at all in any of them.

Just listened to the remixes -- http://soundcloud.com/pur...dance-4-me -- and I think I'm gonna skip on this release.

Because this is insanely rubbish and pointless, and I don't want to encourage them.

Thanks, Bart...you saved me a couple bucks, as I likely would have bought these on iTunes. After listening to the Soundcloud samples though, I can definitely save my cash. I'm still salty about Extralovable, anyway.

That was my thought as well.

Can anyone see where you can purchase the CD and vinyl on the purplemusic site? I can only see the option to download...

Vinyl;

CD single isn't on their site, but you can order that one on Amazon...

I guess a lot of us are 80's kids and were spoiled with remixes of great artistic expression / balls and groove i.e. I wish U heaven, Lalalaheeheehee, , Moquake, Shockadelica amongst a million others.

However I think this will be a club smash ! - the lead line itself and simple / inane lyrics and simple house style mix will be enough to get the kids dancing. Wish the people who remix Gagas grooves would have got their hands on this !

For the record I despise these remixes, the original song was average on record [good live though] - as the old saying goes 'u can't polish a turd'!!!.

Once again a whim by Prince = crap.

If he really wanted to do this right he'd release the stems and let us fans remix for the funk outta this so-so track!

Release Ittttttt

but isn't the completist in you wanting to buy these, even if you don't play them, it is in me.

Yeah, but like I said: I don't wanna encourage them.

IMO the only salvagable remix and the best of the bunch is the Brian Matrix Da Big Room Mix....

It's worth noting that the Dominatrix Mix and the Tribal Drum Mix were done by Prince himself

Really?

Have you seen the price of the postage! They can shove that up their arse! Amazon as usual then.

Nouveau, Squirrel, Bart... speaking sense and echoing my thoughts as usual.

It makes me chuckle when we see the usual replies of, "...you moaned because you don't get anything and now you moan when you do." What those posters are missing is the fact that what we were actually asking for was something good.

Awful remixes: perhaps that's what they like in the US but I think the UK moved on from that style of remix a decade or so ago. Last time I heard tracks like this I had hair and no beer belly.

Now where's my Boss Drum mix-tape...

Soooooooooooo, by the total lack of action in this thread, I'm guessing that the 2nd Dec. release date came and went without even the faintest of whimpers from either P. or this cheesy eurodance record label, and there's still no news on an actual release, physical or digital?

They ARE relased, I´ve seen pictures on FB but I haven´t listened to the remixes yet.

The design is very similar to the in-game design of the game GTA:The Ballad of Gay Tony....don´t know if you´re familiar with that....it´s a great game.

They pretty much copied the color scheme (and the font?).

Those two DLCs were great but the best Rockstar has yet done was for Red Dead Redemption in Undead Nightmare. Now that was a masterful piece of work.

Regarding GTA4, Brucie was a great character. Always made me chuckle.

They're quite dull and sound extremely dated, to be honest.

And for this reason , I just ordered the cd single.

Prost!

this picture disc will look great on my wall

Sharp!

It's also on Itunes now....

So the cheapest place to get this in physical format with shipping is Amazon?

Well I always find it's taking the piss to charge more for postage than the value of the goods. That's why I'll be using Amazon.

Amazon.co.uk has it for £7.96! for a 3 track cd single with a 1 - 3 week delivery! that's a bit pricey.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/D...f_gw_p_t_1

It was £6.84 yesterday. Isn't the CD single 6 tracks?

£6.84 was the price I paid to pre order. Seems that now that it's out and about, amazon have beefed up the price.

Yep ordered. It will go nicely with the rest of my collection of post-1996 Prince-themed dust collectors
