Yes. I'll give the CD to my nephew and jam out to Moonbeam Levels online.

(Also Google is listing the track time for Moonbeam as 4:06 so it's 12 seconds longer than the version we currently have from Work It)

.

My mp3 of this song is 4:07.3 but audio is gone after 4:05.

Does that mean that my mp3 is close to the track that will be on CD?

Same here, except mine is 4:08 with audio gone at 4:05 I have a wav file from the Blast From The Past 2.0 boot.

Strive, the Work It version is awful compared to the Blast version. If that's all you have you'll have a nice treat hearing the official release. cool

I'll just take the HIT's mp3's I have, add Moonbeam Levels and just pull the artwork from the web.

Free and Free. SO OVER ALL THE HITS!!!!! lets get to some real shit like some B-Sides To TRC or jazz stuff with Miles.

I plan to buy a digital download of MOONBEAM LEVELS (if available) but not the physical release. It's just not an interesting release. This is hits rehash #4, unnecessary.

I have as much of his stuff as I can get so yes. Pre-ordered.

I want them to release the vault so I will show there is a need and desire for all he's got.

yes . It will be interesting to have the edits. I would also love to see it go to #1. Support of this may help expedite the remasters also.

I got an email from Warner Brothers's NPG Records account about pre-ordering it. My inbox said it was from "Prince". sad

I hate to be a bubble burster, but it won't be number one (at least in the US). Being released on Tuesday means it will only get 3 days of sales the first week, so all of us buying it the first day won't count for the second week. Also it will likely have no streaming points, which is factored into album sales now. Plus Bruno Mars and Metallica have new albums out this week and the new Weeknd album drops the week after. I'm not even sure top ten is looking good for this one, maybe not even top 40. The casual fan has probably already purchased all these songs this year.

Probably not.

I haven't seen it yet, so I have no opinion on it yet.

No (why would I give Warner Bros. money they don't need for songs I don't need?).

I'm waiting for the real thing.

Bought it last week. The girl at the counter almost gave it to me for free by mistake - stupid me goes 'are you gonna charge me for the cd?'

I was gonna grab some copies for gifts for co workers but having Sexy Mf on there means I probably won't - they've got young kids they won't want to play it infront of or are quite conservative.

Yes, those are the actual photo's which ate outtakes from the hits era, I think by Herb Ritts. The songs only really go up to that era anyway so it's quite appropriate.

Maybe but they're not original for this release.

It's all rehash.

Except for (perhaps!) Moonbeam Levels, which we already knew and had.

So what remains is the completist angle for the various versions.

(did somebody already do a matrix to see per song which versions can be found where?)

The 'mastering' has reportedly some issues and that maybe explains the lack of a 'mastered by' line?

One of those pictures was used in the Hits/B-Sides package, the others were not, but they are from the same photo session. There's also a picture of Prince from the Plectrum Electrim release included.

Who can we contact at WB for this issue?

Their website (near http://www.warnerbrosreco...-now-28351) is really modern and does not mention email addresses or telephone numbers.

Where is the shareholder information?
