Yes unfortunately...Japanese CD's do sometimes add extra tracks, include stickers (ex Diamonds & Pearls, Love Symbol..)... biggrin

It's too blurry to read everything, but the sticker on the front says it has 10,000 Japanese characters of liner notes written by Koda Nishidera, the singer from the Japanese pop-rock band Nona Reeves. That's quite a few characters so he must have a fair amount to say about Prince. Whether or not anyone is interested is another matter.

I dont understand the appeal of japanese pressings if they offer no extra material. There used to be a noticeable difference in sonics that made me get most of Prince's catalog on japanese releases - The GOld Experience jap. pressing next to the US domestic copy is a ridiculous difference.

Whoa. What's the difference? Does the Japanese pressing sound better? You should send your copy to me for a second opinion. I'll send it right back, I swear.

Bullcrap. They just collected a bunch of tracks that were available on other singles.

Lyrics on Japanese releases quite often aren't official lyrics just transcriptions so usually they contain a lot of errors.

Still have more tracks though. No one claimed they were exclusive to the japanese editions...

Exactly. So they had more tracks. lol

NPG was combined with Thieves, both of which were available in the states on CD, but, Scandalous was combined with Partyman, which was not available on CD here. So, there's that...

PLUS, they do sound better than the US releases, so, there's that, too!

wink
