Deconstructing the unedited version of Junk Music

These aren't going to be 100% perfect, but here are all the edit points made in the unedited Junk Music for The Flesh album.

Those are all the edit points in Junk music from which most of The Flesh album comes.

Good job! Thanks.

There was a similar analysis of the edits on Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" album in the booklet of the Complete B.B. Sessions box set that was also very interesting to see. There are so many edits on that stuff that Teo Macero would deserve a co-composer credit smile

This is great. I've been wanting to do this as well. Great work.

The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

You beat me to it! I was thinking of using the full version of Junk Music and on my long flight next week spending some time using the better source to make the edit that would have been on The Flesh

I'm confused. In order to deconstruct something, it has to have been contructed - which means it isn't unedited.

I promise I'm not trying to be snarky - just trying to understand why this is important...?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

The mixes are different, so it's not possible. Also, Eric was editing from the multitrack, so there are some spots (mostly after drum fills or cymbal clashes) where another instrument gets cut early.

I took the edited version of Junk music (and the other tracks) and lined it up against the unedited version. It was pretty tedious, because they had to be moved every 4 seconds due to tape warps.

The edited version of Junk Music was constructed from the unedited version.

It's probably not important.
