Diamonds and Pearls Outtakes leaked....

Recently I have heard a leaked version of Diamonds and Pearls the title track. This version was just Princes vocals only. I really enjoyed it better than the original version with Rosie Gaines. No disrespect to Rosie Gaines, but I often find her over singing some of the hooks on prince's songs. Does anybody know if there is a version of the entire Diamond and Pearls CD where every track is done just with Prince's vocals?

I know that a early config or something like that leaked not too long ago, with some alterations throughout all of the tunes

I agree. Unfortunately, it makes me sound biased as usual. But I do kind of hate the "D" to the "I" to the "A" to "m" to the "o" .... part.

This was released last year, it's from a bootleg called Diamonds & Pearls Beginnings.

It's a fantastic look into the creative process Prince used. Image D&P as an unreleased song and that version is all we had over the years, this is the state of probably most of the music in the vault. The basics until Prince commits the song to something and polishes it up with more instruments, vocals, and overdubs.

It is one of many examples of the vast difference that occurs between the finishing of his ideas with the basic tracks and the full fledged production of the same songs as a released track.

Not a bad release from so-called "elite" collectors who supposedly hoard tracks and laugh at others for not having them.

Well..

I think it's a fantastic release, and I'm just thankful they made it available...

There's some miserable moaning bastards on here.
The OP, and others by the look of it, had not come across it before so I'm sure it wasn't deliberately misleading.

I beg your pardon! You wouldn't say that to my face, so don't write it. The post is misleading, with all that has been going off lately. It's nothing new. Which is what the poster is insinuating. Mybe by mistake, but it's still misleading. Don't get too personal.

This was up on YOUTUBE last year.

Would have made your comment to the OP's face?
He wasn't being misleading. Maybe it's just me not liking moaners

I didn't call him or her names, just brought up a valid point. If you want to discuss the album, feel free, or outtakes or whatever.In my opinion, in light of what has been going on with NEW leaks, it was a misleading title. End of story.

You didn't call him a name unlike the other day when you called someone 'a prick' for making a mistake about a new leak.

Exactly, this isn't a NEW leak at all, years old.

Sure to a few people this might be new, but it not a NEW release at all..

but for most people this is very old news and the title is totally misleading.

Especially given the ACTUAL new leaks the last few weeks.

Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now!

Im a big fan of this alternate version of Willing and Able. I like when Prince dors his own background vocals.
