Holy Grail found!

Well..for me at least. Sound is superb. This is one of the titles I would have "stolen" from the Vault if I ever had the chance.


[WARNING: Do NOT ask for, where can I find/get, or even hint at asking such as "would love to hear this or any variation of it, etc. - Violators will be dealt with - luv4u]

Its great, the title track, Live4love and horny pony are highlights for me

I'm not clever enough to ever find these things but that does sound awesome!

This is way better than the album IMO. It's stripped away of all it commercial-ness.

I have had this on repeat for the last two days!!!! The sound is amazing!!! Love this release!! My only complaint.....Tony M.

The sound is crystal clear! I like jazzy arrangement of Insatiable. And Money Don't Matter 2 Night is raw and like demo sound. Solo version of Diamonds & Pearls without Rosie & her bridge part is very nice too!

Jazzy arrangement? Sounds very interesting! I'm ready for the hook-up!

Before Cream eh? I'll have to go try and find this. Man, sure would be a good time to start on those remasters and prevent all this silliness

that alternate version doesn't look too good imho..

I prefer the released version..

Insatiable is simply mindblowing! D&P the song feels a little empty without Rosie. For me her bridge ("D to the I to the A...") is what makes this song. Without that part it's just so - so.

Most other songs are great here, it seems more like a Prince solo effort then the released version.

Walk dont walk seems to have been faded out much too early - deliberately? Pristine sound quality!

Got to find this one!!!!!

Isn't that the whole idea of demos?

I was just about to say the same about D&P the song - it sounds strange and lifeless without Rosie. The same to a lesser extent with Willing & Able - The Steeles backing vocals really add to the released version.

.

This Daddy Pop version is great - cool to hear samples of 'lay down your funky weapon' in there.

.

It's awesome to have these demos/alternate versions in this quality.

Really, wait and pass judgement till you actually hear these alternate versions.

I could not agree more.
