So I'm still making my way through these tracks, and when What If started up, my brain did some sort of weird malfunction--I was like "Wait a second! Why is my computer playing Katy Perry?" I thought it was Dark Horse!

Maybe I'm overtired?

Agree

Nothing Compares 2 you sounds so great!!!!!

The whole Family album with P on vox is a pure delight to listen to. THIS is the "lost album" between ATWID + Parade, and I for one LOVE IT!!!

Exactly!.. The Family album had the strongest collection of Prince songs of any of his associates albums, but they were missing his voice! These are great!

There's always a big leak before BFTP volumes come out...at this point we should start making fake BFTP lists to get people to leak songs we want.

It truly is amazing what people have been holding onto all these years, really, it's mind boggling.

So, has your copy been delivered?

No copy, just the same files that were dumped online recently that everyone is talking about here. I am assuming what was dumped online was a rip from the CD no?

[Edited 12/8/17 22:45pm]

EYESR cds = No1 has the Copy RIGHT NOW or the past days.....Cds delivering are underway...in few hours some will be in the hands of the buyers...the trax they were lealead are mp3 sourced& differents from EyeR sources....the trax from the EyeR cds will be in majority directly from FLAC & WAVES sourced ...comparisons between the 2 sources will be possible very soon i guess !

Does this really exist? Is this truth out there?

I feel like I am being punked as my google harnessed winged monkeys have been scouring the internet and I have not found the existence of this as yet.

It sounds like it would be amazing though.

I heard it....this a new uncirculating raw version from the Alphabet St. (This Is Not Music, This Is A Trip)...overdubs differences...background voices differences but not a really departure from the well known version !

It is the same version that can be found on Work It 2.0 - Vol.3, disc 14. Even the tape swirl at 02:38 are identical.

Yes and SP are instrumentals, so you can use the ones in the album. River Run Dry is not a Prince song so chances are that he didn’t record it. You can replace it with Feline though, and get an amazing Prince’s Family playlist.

Thanks for the info. I haven't acually listened to the Family album for many, many years, so had forgotten that they were instrumentals.

The boot version of Yes is much longer and has Eric's sax turned up in the mix instead of buried like the LP version. If this would ever leak in better quality, I'd be so happy. Someday....

Blast 6 list it as 3.10. Was that an error or are you referring to Closer 2 God.?

.

Are you suggesting what I got is not a direct rip?

Interesting....!

Now I got even more reason to obtain b00tz!

when will they relax their sphincters (sp?) and release the The Family album with Prince vocals ...rather than have to string it together like someone else will

Because there has to be a market for it. Even the hardcore base isn't making any album platinum off the bat. Purple Rain expanded has a market. The Family with Prince's vocals - most of the Top 40 audience (who only know "Kiss", "When Doves Cry" or "Little Red Corvette") has no idea who The Family is, or that they recorded it first. They might know that Prince wrote that one song Sinead sang, but it ends there. It's cute to want all that to come out, but it has to be financially feasible to do so.

IF those things were to come out, it'd really have to be a compilation of his demos or whatever. Truly, a vault set of stuff. But even then, fans are going to want unheard music or clean versions of existing shitty quality boots (like "Computer Blue" etc).

the soundboards of the mononeon rehearsals r coming from sabatage...sample sounds freakin great

Possibly from something else, I'm listening to a rehearsal from early 1982, of "I Would Die 4 U". Instead of that quick high hat, that rhythm is being played on a guitar probably by Prince or Dez. Then it breaks down, it's a synth part. The high hat is sort of irrelevant in this version. The drums are slightly different, but not a lot. He's blending "Uptown" with it near the end. Almost sounds like something The Rebels would have done. Sorta.

The whole track is over 13-minutes.

^ That's from this http://prince.org/msg/7/449378

I am assuming it is exactly the same stuff that is still on mixcloud in perfect quality that has been available for over a year?

The quality of Alphabet Street is a bit wobbly, but I love it. It's full of new chants and instrumentation, some of which are deeply buried in the mix of This Is Not Music, This Is A Trip released version. That bass line has always killed me.

Shame I was hoping for a completely different version e.g like an acoustic or new verses.

Hey, where and who was the person who doubted 17 Days extended existed? And why couldn't WB have put this on the PR Deluxe?

I was one of them!--and I've already said positive things about it (though I don't think it was here on the .org). I didn't really believe it existed, and I didn't expect it to be particularly better than the released version if it did. It does exist, but it isn't particularly better than the released (though that Brenda bit is certainly unexpected--at least until I read about it in Duane's book).
