I decided to go through my Prince collection

I'll arrange and correct names, folders, tags and put the whole house in order. I feel guilty for not doing this earlier. It will take time and effort but it's worth it. There won't be a second Prince and his work has become even more precious.

I started doing this a couple of years ago - and I'm still doing it!

.

However this did include ripping CDs and vinyl (and associated artists)!

.

It's incredible the odd differences between some tracks when ripping and comparing CDs. Also it's odd how some CDs are track-marked really badly.

.

Organising the digital releases has thrown up some tracks I never knew I had. Even today I dicovered Miss You. I've never heard that before - it's so beautiful from 1978. Also I discovered the NPGMC version of Guitar is totally different and has some really lovely extra sounds in it. Also, I didn't realise some versions on Chocolate Invasion / Slaughterhouse are different to the NPGMC versions.

.

Rediscovering some old gems makes me realise the amazing legacy he has left behind and that I'm going to miss him so very much.

Yes same here...my stuff was fairly organized before, but I had fallen behind with it, so going to try to slowly organize it all even better. There are multiple versions of some outtakes so I need to determine which is the best sounding one and also get my rehearsals in order.

.

I was about to say that we won't be getting much to add to our collection now, but I hope that is not true with many more "leaks" and posthumous releases in the future.
