EMANCIPATION - 1 disc results!

Well I've counted the results from the 'Emancipation - 1 disc' thread. So the final tracklist for a single disc version of Emancipation, as voted for by you, is as follows.

(the tracks are listed in order of popularity, NOT how they would be sequenced)

1. SLEEP AROUND
2. THE LOVE WE MAKE
3. JOINT 2 JOINT
4. IN THIS BED I SCREAM
5. SOMEBODY'S SOMEBODY
6. THE HOLY RIVER
7. FACE DOWN
8. JAM OF THE YEAR
9. EMANCIPATION
10. MY COMPUTER
11. COURTIN' TIME
12. DREAMIN' ABOUT U



I have to admit I'm surprised to see that so many of you liked 'Courtin Time', it always seemed like a bit of throwaway light relief for me. I was also surprised to see that most tracks got at least 1 vote (even the covers). There were only two that didn't recieve ANY votes; 'We Gets Up' and 'The Plan'.

COURTIN' TIME
SLEEP AROUND
COURTIN' TIME
THE LOVE WE MAKE
JOINT 2 JOINT
IN THIS BED I SCREAM
FACE DOWN
MY COMPUTER
EMANCIPATION
DREAMIN' ABOUT U

"Courtin' Time" is the ONLY song on the 3-disc set that I can not-will not listen to EVER! And although I appreciate your efforts, if it doesn't have "Savior," then IMHO, it's a waste.

I agree 'Saviour' has to be on it!

None of the following could ever be on there:

courtin time,
style,
we gets up,
sex in the summer,
white mansion
"London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"

"YEAH!!!"

Nearly half the album was CD3, which kinda reaffirms its the stongest of the set.

It's the musicianship on 'Courtin' Time' that really does it for me and the track is a harkback to the swing era which is good enough in my book.

Perversely, gems such as 'Savior' and 'Soul Sanctuary' are inexplicably neglected in the above survey. A definite lapse in good taste all round, in my opinion.

I always thought disc 2 was widely held as most popular.

Courtin' Time, Dreaming About U, Style, My Computer and Soul Sanctuary should be included for those somewhat quirky/beautiful Prince 'moments' that are on all his best records.

Really? I've alwyas thought CD2 was by far the strongest.

In the absence of having a cd burner, I've always made my own one-disc set of Emancipation just by sticking to cd2, for 2 reasons: 1) it has all my favourite tracks; and 2) it's the only cd that feels coherent as a whole.

anyone with me on that?

(and BTW - why the fuck wasn't curious child in that top 10? it#s clearly the best song on the album!)

I subscribe, I would take away Courtin'time (one of P.'s songs I like less) and add Style...But there must be One of Us as well...I think we better leave emancipation as it is!!!

Make Emancipation 2 discs and its UNBELIEVABLE. For 3 discs it's pretty damn good.
