What is the "full" ending anyway? Is it on some early bootleg or is it just something we know about?

Listening to the MB leak now, and it sounds way better than the versions I had on the Work It and Electric Intercourse boots.

The extra 12 seconds are mainly in the intro, which those boots didn't have.

I don't understand why Peach is on this release?

I agree.That song wasn't really a "hit" at all and it's not an outstanding track by any means.They should have included "I Hate U" and "TMBGITW" on this release.Those songs were actually hits.

It was a top twenty hit in six countries.

The short answer is they don't have the rights to those songs (and clearly the negotations to licence them right now would take too long/cost too much to get them in time for this release to be out before christmas).

No, they don't.

No, I don't care what your cd says, in 2016 they don't have the rights.

NO. THEY DO NOT.

(Because if they did TMBGITW would be on there)

It's on A Better Place 2 Die boot.

thank you! That proved mercifully easy to find. Just a second or two of noodling with the sound levels rammed up so we can hear it, not exactly a revelation.

Peach was a bigger hit in the UK than I Hate U. Peach reached #14, whereas I Hate U only managed #20.

Welcome...

I usually love Elvis Costello...not this time tho...

IMHO, "Moonbeam Levels" is one of his best unreleased tracks and is much better than "Free", the song that replaced it on the original 1999 song list. I'd love for it to be a single.

Well, I've never heard it before so I'm looking forward to hearing it with "virgin" ears tomorrow. And I hope they make it a single too because I think there are a significant number of folks who won't buy this record for one unreleased song. I get it tho that the estate is trying to capitalize on the spike in Prince's popularity due to the hype around his passing. They geared this one towards those newer fans. As disappointed as some of his hardcore fans might be over the lack of new music right now those people likely aren't going anywhere. They will still be here waiting patiently for the vault to start emptying, hopefully with the additional company of those newer fans.

WOW! Lucky you! Enjoy

Because Prince loved Peace. I prefer Pope.

Peach.

Rogers began collecting his tapes to store them in one place, and her hobby soon became an obsession.

“I wanted us to have everything he’d ever recorded. I called up the studios he’d been using and said: ‘Have you got any Prince tapes?’” she told Azhar, saying there were 2,000 unreleased songs when she left in 1989. “This is his legacy. We need to protect these things.”

Susan Rogers, Prince’s former recording engineer, revealed to Azhar that, “I started the vault,” when she joined the music icon in 1983.

Her favorite hidden gem is “Moonbeam Levels,” a single recorded in 1982 that she dubbed “unbelievably beautiful.”

I take it there are songs he didn't put on the government register.

Youtube took it off. oh

Baby, You're A Trip in perfect would be good too.

Compressed mono is not crystal clear quality by any stretch.

Moonbeams - ABC special video - should this be a single?

I really like it too but charts wise I do not think it would go anywhere. Not sure if it's hooky/catchy for causual/non-Prince music fans. It might do well just for being new single released since his death.

I agree.

these are super-fans? Really?


thanks for posting it was fun to watch (hard to hear) but none of them really seem to know too much about him. I would have taken over... and schooled them all! (as would many of us)
