Really, put this stuff up in decent quality Prince.

cheers.

Oh no, my free stuff isn't in awesome quality.

What with the "bootlegs for days" thing, I think this is being done in a similar vibe to the crappy editing on Crystal Ball.

LOL!

yeah ...Can't complain too much for a non-commercially released product

Nailed it!

Yeah, but it doesn't cost anything extra to put it out in better quality.

The problem with many of Prince's "Internet only" releases is that there just doesn't exist versions of those tracks with proper sound quality.

That's the ones he should be SELLING through his own site, itunes et al and use the rest to promote as much as possible on youtube et al.

it would be nice indeed if you could listen to the tracks on youtube but then

click on a link where you could actually buy the song in high quality mp3 or

flac or whatever.

i'd have given him $ 4.- for this nice little bundle of new stuff and i'm sure

a lot of others would have too.

but hey, it's free and it's a gift so i can't complain.

but i do understand the argument. we're not complaining that it's free. we

just want the option to buy it, in top quality. nothing wrong with that.

here's to hoping that this is all just promo to get word out there that he is

up to something and when 2013 really kicks off he'll have a bit of a decent

site to download everything he's gonna nudge our way this year.

other tracks we've 'had' for a while but which i'd still love to

be able to buy decent copies of (without dj intro and jingles)

cause and effect

hot summer

in a large room with no light

rich friends

turn me loose

i know some smart ass is gonna yell "well i wouldn't even

want those for free, they're garbage"

but that's an invalid point. you wouldn't have to buy it if

you didn't like it. but i certainly would like to. it can't be

that hard for him to set up a bit of a store.

i want my new prince music in my car, and i don't want to

strat up all kinds of audiograbbing apps and try to rip the

tunes from a website in low bitrate when it would be more

easy to just pay a dollar or 2 and download it official with

good sound.

there's too many songs in recent years that don't have a

home at all. they just appeared and fizzled out before an

audience could even prick up it's ears.

Yep. All the NPGMC stuff.

People missed my semi-disclaimer, and my thanks.

But yeah, take it as moaning. Whatever.

I'd definitely like to be able to buy high quality versions of all the stuff that's been put out recently too.

Hopefully it'll end up on itunes like other recent stuff like - Extraloveable, Rock & Roll Love Affair and Superconductor
