I agree. I can barely follow what half the folks in this thread say, but i'm so happy we're not discussing Prince's wisdom teeth, THAT I PROMISE I'LL TRY HARDER!!!

Marry me, Prince scholars who know wendy and lisa, and I'll bring a thesaurus on the honeymoon.

Poor little bastard? That's been out a long time unless your talking about a different version that has surfaced?

Well its new to me, I have never heard it before

Wow, don't know what I like more, this version of "Glamorous Life" or "Roadhouse Garden". & "Eggplant" is just good fun! "IQ of an ice cube, serious windtunnel"!

Maybe Big chick or Neversin could confirm if this is the 1985 version of Come Elektra Tuesday or a later version.

There is so much out there now. Reminds me why we all fell in love and are still such great fans of his music. All the out-takes and all the unreleased music is so facinatinating to hear. And it only cements the reason why no one can "produce" or finish or whatever. The music must be released as-is because they paint a point in his life. They paint a man and an artist at a certain point. The instruments he was using like the brushes and media an arist uses at whatever stage in their life. I love the studio-ish version of roadhouse garden and the glamorous life. Magic. And again it so cements why you cannot touch them other than clean them up. He had a certain taste in sound at the time that is so timeless. I was listening to some old Depeche Mode and noticed how well their sound has also aged compare to his contemporaries and other artists doing similar electronic music. It was the "taste" of the artists and what they considered to sound "good" to them that made them age so well. And that's with any artist of any media. And Prince's "taste" in sound at his artistic height was unmatched. You can't mess with it. You ruin it. So I'm actually glad a lot of this stuff is coming out and we get to hear it raw. Instead of having someone, anyone else selecting what and how it comes out. If anyone else touches any of his work it taints it. So now I'm all in for no one messing with it and only releasing the music exactly as it was left. Not as how anyone imagines it to be how it was intended. I'm even worried about who gets to curate it all. It can't be one person but a committee because his music encompassed so much that one one person could ever do justice in curating it. These works must now just go into preservation mode. Nothing more. [Edited 9/17/16 20:30pm]

My exact thoughts.

Come Elektra Tuesday is brilliant. But on which project would this fit on?

Anthoknee is god( ) , and a lifestyle of music. The ones who knows, you know. That's all

As a Prince novice I just stumbled upon a song called "It's A Wonderful Day" in pristine quality. Am I lucky?

KlyphIsBackAgain said: Good call on Acknowledge Me 👍🏻 You could be right, I agree it's got some recent like sounds and has a bit of Gold Standard feel to it

And just as a fun sidenote (unrelated to the leaks), he used the hook from "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" in "The Max" in 1992, before releasing "Rave" in 1999.

Wasn´t it also used in Days of Wild?

It sounds very similar to me.

As far as I know, that hook has its origins in Duke Ellington´s Caravan.

Edit: It is a bit more obvious in Les Paul´s version of Caravan:

to me is goes well with "I wonder" which I get the same vibe as "Train" and "I Hear Your Voice" (not in the sound anything specific but i do associate them all)

I miss those guys, haven't seen them posting here in months.

See, for me the sound that WAS Prince, the sound of Prince's present (at that time) and potentially his future, was the sound that he, Wendy and Lisa were making..... and his rebellion against that, against "white" pop music, was ultimately his undoing and led to the mediocrity of the the 90's and beyond.

In my mind Prince had two sounds that were 'his". The punk-funk of Dirty Mind - 1999 and the colorful black pop of Purple Rain - Parade.... with Sign being a more restrained/refined amalgamation of all his sounds and Lovesexy being an overindulgence of the whimsy. Either way, his "hit" days were coming to an end. His commercial viability was going to wane anyway (especially in the US), regardless of what type of album he put out, while European countries would have probably eaten an evolution of that sound up (as evidenced by the Lovesexy tour/album, which is Prince, imo, trying to recreated what W&L brought to the table on his own, with mixed results.)

So did he wait too long? Absolutely. He waited too long to let his ego get the better of him.

[Edited 9/17/16 15:30pm]

Hm... yes you are a W/L fan. We get that.

well Prince did write In This Bed I Scream

And even Eric Leeds said some of the most wonderful things he ever did with Prince were with W/L

No they're not. These are obviously very diluted copies of the actual recordings. And I suspect a few "elite" collectors do have "studio quality" copies of these songs, in glorious stereo etc.

rob1965 said:

Errrm, they're not. But they're better than the snippets from the Questlove set, where they were recorded in a big ass room with a lot of ambient noise.

A different version of Make Your Mama Happy?

Mia Bocca is definitely new to me. Sounds good with Prince on backing vocals.

But Strange Way sounds the same as already out - perhaps a little cleaned up.

Make Your Mama ?Happy sounds exactly the same as the version on Crystal Ball - so I am a little confused by this

it's amazing how much this song comes to life with the clare fisher orchestration.
this 'demo' just sounds empty and off. i've always loved this song a lot but in the
sparse take we've got here, it just doesn't work for me, at all.

I'm not trolling. I'm sharing my opinion, that your opinion that these tracks are an example of Prince's work suffering due to drug use, is speculative crap.

If you share your opinions you can expect those with differing opinions (or those of us who deal in facts) to dispute you.

That's fine. I respect that. And I respect your opinions. But when I post my opinion you call it trolling. Then when i have tried to have a discussion with you it's obvious you do not get subtlety or sarcasm. You know I don't think you are the sharpest tack on the org so out of respect not to offend you in case you have a mental condition, so it got to the point where our conversations devolved into to me feeling like I was abusing a a kid with Down syndrome. Listen I'll express my opinions and you yours, just don't call me names because you don't agree and I'll do the same. Cool? I can keep it civil if you can.

But this is a great thread, all about some fantastic new leaks from a great era. Everyone was having a great time...

There's like 1000 threads on the Org now speculating about Prince's drug use

Can't we keep one thread drug-free?
