Meh I wouldn't stress too much about this compilation and its tracklisting. We all know they're just getting a quick hitter out for the holidays that doesn't require too many round table discussions amongst the powers that be. Nothing more, nothing less. The real goods will begin in 2017 when we start getting vault material and any potential new releases. Those are the tracklistings they need to get right.

agreed! once the estate starts putting together releases with the help of former employees of
prince, we'll see some great things, i'm sure.

in essence, this 4Ever release isn't that bad, it's just surprising that they would release it at
all, since it adds so little to other packages.

but it's clear that it's just for casual fans and to make a quick buck since they stick to the 2
discs. it means they get to include everything that non hardcore fans might know and a few
things they don't. and it's a single purchase. not like the hits 1 and the hits 2 which are still
2 separate items. or ultimate and best off which leave out a lot of stuff.

could have made it a 3 disc package, like hits/bsides, instead of the bside disc they could've
included more tracks that we are obviously missing here and a few more outtakes. but this
is still warners and we all know how they feel about 3 dics albums lol

nope. once the estate starts rolling out releases, that's where the gold will be.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

i think Erotic City was also on it. A few weeks before it came out there was a topic here about it and one of the people working on it was here. IIRC: it was always going to be 2 cds with a mix of different versions (some remixes and some edits)

Why?

Because you want the same rehash and lack of 'new' material as on the '4ever' release?

I did NOT claim anything. Read again.

I asked.

And all we know (!) is the '4ever' deception.

So WHY (again) does one want the PR remaster soon?

Well, apart from it being a long overdue remaster, it's being billed as a second CD of unreleased music.

Seven tracks new to CD

Despite being targeted firmly at the casual fan, the new Prince 4EVER compilation (due next month) will contain a number of well-known tracks in variants that have never before been issued on CD, according to Warners.

Twenty-two out of the 40 tracks on Prince 4EVER are single edits, as follows:

  • 1999 3.36
  • Little Red Corvette* 3.08
  • When Doves Cry 3.49
  • Let’s Go Crazy* 3.46
  • I Wanna Be Your Lover 2.57
  • Soft And Wet 3.01
  • Uptown 4.09
  • Controversy 3.35
  • Let’s Work* 2.56
  • Delirious 2.36
  • I Would Die 4 U 2.57
  • Take Me With U* 3.39
  • Sign ‘O’ The Times 3.44
  • Alphabet St.* 2.25
  • Batdance 4.06
  • Girls And Boys* 3.27
  • If I Was Your Girlfriend 3.46
  • I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (fade) 3.39
  • Glam Slam* 3.28
  • Diamonds And Pearls 4.20
  • Gett Off (single remix) 3.59
  • 7 (Album Edit) 4.23

Warners are claiming that the tracks marked in bold and with an asterisk are “previously unavailable on CD” although labels are notoriously unreliable with information like this, so SDE readers can confirm if this is indeed the case!

Other points of interest include the fact that Nothing Compares 2 U is identical to the version on The Hits/The B-Sides and that Diamonds And Pearls wasn’t edited for the single in the UK, therefore the US 4.20 single edit must be what is being used. Of course as well as this Moonbeam Levels is included which is completely unreleased.

So are they all 7" single edits (that is, where an edit was actually made for the single) bar Purple Rain? I assume with Purple Rain an executive decision was made to have the full song on there, ultimate record ender that it is.

edit: oh, the "album version" of 7 is on there. I assume that's the Hits and B-sides "album" version rather than the lovesymbol one with the whoosh sound at the start.

I wil not be buying anything until all this unnecessary mystery around his death is gone...It seems people in his inner circle know if he was ill ,whether he had hipsurgery, why he needed the pain meds etc and are creating alot of speculation amongst the fans..It is not really my right to know but reading all the turmoil regarding this on the other sites makes me feel that some facts besides the ME report would sove much of the drama.Support us and we will support you

I can understand "single" edits of some songs but When Doves Cry?

You'll probably be waiting a while then. I doubt if we'll know the full story for some time.

I feel much of this drama around P's dead is unnecessary. He's gone, and he's not been assassinated by the CIA or aliens from outer space, and knowing all those medical details won't bring him back anyway. Whatever there is to be known will be known eventually, so let us just keep on living instead of torturing ourselves with things that do not really concern us.

The timings for the songs in 4Ever are now showing on iTunes. Moonbeam Levels is 4.06 (a couple of seconds shorter than the version I have) and Nothing Compares 2 U is 4.19, considerably shorter than the version in The Hits. I guess it's just an edit and not a different version, but it would be nice if we got a last minute surprise...

On iTunes Canada, Head is no longer described as 'music version' (or whatever it was), but it doesn't carry a parental advisory, while Sexy MF and Peach do. Interesting.

The edit released as B-side to Peach was 4.17, so probably this version.

The best quality version of Moonbeam Levels we have runs for that time.

This mean it won't have the instrumental outro then. Or possibly the drum beat intro.

I'm sure this has been addressed and i missed in the multitudes of pages, but is it curious to anyone else that the press release mentions that TMBGITW will be on there, but it is not on the tracklist?

Listen2Prince !!

U can listen to a different Prince project every week for a year! Sometimes U might have to double (or triple) up on related albums to make it fit, tho.
