Best Of O(+> Album... What would you put on it? So I was reading about unreleased Prince projects a day ago and I stumbled on a plan Prince had to release an album called "The Very Best Of " after Warner Bros released The Very Best Of Prince. After I read that I asked myself, what exactly would be on that album if it was made? So I made my own personal list of tracks for it to have on my iPod. What would you have on it?
Endorphine Machine Acknowledge Me Jam Of The Year Love Sign Dinner With Delores Come On Emancipation Baby Knows (Live) Rock and Roll Is Alive (And It Lives In Minneapolis) Comeback The One Wasted Kisses (I Like) Funky Music Somebody's Somebody Dreaming About U Undisputed (Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic Version) Beautiful Strange Eye Love U, But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore Get Your Groove On The Most Beautiful Girl In The World Billy Jack Bitch In This Bed I Scream
I could have kept going but if I did, then this list would have A LOT more ballads than anything else. That's what the name change came down to for me, a lot of great ballads Purple is the color of my heart,

I actually have one of these I play in my car regularily. My track listing is
Interactive Endorphine Machine Shhh Dolphin One of Us In This Bed I Scream Chaos and Disorder I Like it There The Same December Zannalee The Most Beautiful Girl 319 Baby Knows So Far So Pleased Rock and roll is Alive Shy Eye Hate U Gold
I would have Days of Wild Studio version if we had a great quality copy but its just too low, ruins the flow of the cd with the low sound | |

This is a project that I definitely think should happen! It'd be cool for die-hards and nice for the general public if it was marketed correctly, which would be tricky but not impossible.
Tracklist -- tracks 16 & 17 are key 1. Endorphine Machine 2. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World 3. Shhh 4. Eye Hate U 5. Love Sign (Shock G. mix) 6. Dinner With Delores 7. The Holy River 8. Somebody's Somebody 9. In This Bed I Scream 10. Emancipation 11. The Truth 12. Comeback 13. Eye Love U, But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore 14. The Greatest Romance Ever Sold 15. Beautiful Strange 16. Bonus Track #1 -- Something unreleased I've never heard before 17. Bonus Track #2 -- Something unreleased I've never heard before
If we expand it to NPG/Prince songs from that era, it might have to go to 2 CDs and add in a few more symbol tracks.
Prince: Old Friends 4 Sale When the Lights Go Down
NPG: Get Wild The Exodus Has Begun The One (remix) Come On

Yeah, chances are it isn't happening. I'm pretty sure Prince just announced it (note this was back when The Very Best of Prince came out in like 2002) as a way of snubbing Warner Bros. But it got me curious as to what people liked in terms of material. That means every track after Come until like Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic. It just intruiged me since a lot of people I know always say that Prince's music became crap after the name change but I always felt that it wasn't that bad. Sure it wasn't good compared to the old stuff, but I don't like to compare things so the 90's material never bothered me.
On a side note, I wanna add Face Down to that list I made. It's such a 'bad' rap that I can't help but love it.
I'm pretty sure "Work It 2.0" had a studio version of Days of Wild in pretty good quality and was pretty good volume wise. But the problem with it is it seems almost unfinished, Prince is just kinda saying the lyrics without any voice inflection and the signiture almost sound in the chorus (you know the one) is buried in the mix. I actually like the live version in Crystal Ball though, so I just shortened it on Sony Vegas one day and keep an edit of it for private use ^^ Purple is the color of my heart,

The Very Best Of was supposed to contain rerecording of pre-1993 hits, it was basically a fuck you to WB not a best of of post WB years.
This being said, on such a project I'd put the post-1993 Prince/ singles (including a few promos and cyber-singles), no more no less, with possible inclusion of some "New Power Generation" songs (?).

To the NPG tracks, I would definitely add "Count the Days" and "Return of the Bump Squad." Although, technically those might be Tora Tora tracks. The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach. | |
