My Medallion So, as it's been mentioned, it might be worth a thread.
My Medallion is on the Tidal version of The Chocolate Invasion.
Never heard it before, but it's super funky. Best track on the album. Slick, quirky and funk ridden.
Very pleasantly surprised. Go listen | |

It was the best track on the album before, even when it wasn't there. I love this track. | |

Ha. I know. Why the hell wasn't it on there in the first place? It's by far the best thing on CI now. Love it. I'm playing it over and over (instead of Hitnrun). I'd like good and plenty of this kind of stuff. Love it. | |

It was originally there when the album was supposed to be on the TCI 7-CD boxset, then the tracklist got slightly altered and MM replaced by The Dance. What is fascinating is that the Tidal version is, in fact, the original tracklist i.e. the album as originally configured (tracks order also slightly differs). Honestly I suspect this is a mistake: the Prince employee who was in charge of unearthing the master just took the wrong tape and no one noticed. Let's see if it stays as such for long. Still, it's really fascinating: for the first time an early configuration of an album is officially made available. What was unknown so far is if every version of the other tracks was exactly as on the final version or if some may have been there is a slightly different version. I don't have Tidal (and I can't because it's not available in India) but it'd be great if someone could check. Hell, I hope someone rips the whole thing anyway

Or maybe he removes The Dance after he reworked it for 3121 | |

I don't think it's because of that, it's just the original config as such. A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |

It would be nice if this version (and the other "lost albums") were made available in high quality separate from this streaming platform, that is definitely true. That would definitely be an excellent thing to do. | |

My Medallion itself might be sligthly different than the 2001 versiion A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |
