Hi

.

I'd like to purchase a digital version of the original LP configuration of Prince with the longer edit of Still Waiting (4:24 vs. 4:12 on the CD rerelease). I have the song itself from a vinyl rip but I'd like to have the whole album in its original form from a single source.

.

I saw that it was apparently on HDTracks but the album is no longer there.

.

I also read it was "apparently" on Pono and the album is still available there but given that I'm broke as hell, before I spend 18 bucks on an album I already have purchased twice (cassette, then CD), I'd like to be 100% sure it's the original LP version and not the CD version.

.

I was also wondering which version of the album was available on Tidal.

.

Thanks if anyone can tell me whether what I'm looking for is on either Pono or Tidal.

Hmmm, good question db. I'm curious as well...

On Tidal the length is 4.15, which is the same as my CD version

OK thx so that one's out

Pono remains. The site says 4:28 so it would indeed seem to indicate that it's the longest cut, however how to be sure? Has anyone purchased it there?

HD Tracks.

Funny. I never noticed much of a difference in the edited version on the CD, other than the jarring cut-off second or two at the beginning of the song, which has always bugged the hell out of me. I haven't owned the album on cassette or vinyl in ages to be able to compare the other differences.

What was the purpose of ever trimming that song Anyways?! Is it the 7" Single Edit, or some goofy mishap when they mastered it for CD?

7''

Can I go with you? And as long as we've got a time machine, there's a few shows we should check out in person...
