Delighted to finally hear that full length version of If the Kid, i've always thought it was a hugely underrated track - Prince, just out of nowhere, channels Hot Buttered Soul just to prove he can do it. Incredible. [Edited 12/11/17 9:26am] | |

Here, the noise reduction is something horrific though, what were they thinking? Lets bring everything down to the level of worst sounding track we have? [Edited 12/11/17 9:38am] | |

Put the raw tracks out. No 'remastering'. Let the People salt and pepper to taste.
I wish that we could get best quality for all currently circulating tracks. I have about a half dozen or so that I would really love to have and that would make me smile for a good while (meh, temporarily, anyway...). [Edited 12/11/17 9:51am] [Edited 12/11/17 9:52am] "I like to watch." | |

I agree. That is a FUNKY song. What he was thinkin' with the album version is beyond me... "I like to watch." | |

I just wanted to say that, when I'm sitting here at work with P in the headphones, listening to this incredible unreleased stuff, I am deeply grateful to those that have made hearing this possible. Never in my wildest did I ever think I'd be this fortunate/in on the secret. Thank you bootleggers and leakers and kind souls!!! [Edited 12/11/17 10:06am] "I like to watch." | |

Just figured out what you were talking about The wooh is on the one! | |

A few random thoughts: . 1. databank, I don't often reply to you directly, but I enjoy reading your posts. Lots of food for thoughts. So thank you for that. Yeah, it might be the wine talking, but anyway. . 2. We need a "Work It 3.0"-like set real bad. I mean, it makes no sense for all of us, individually, to determine which version of each outtake sounds the best and to curate our own collections. I'm sure hundreds or even thousands of fans are doing that on their own. This should be a collaborative effort. . 3. "What If". Is it me or is the end of the strings/horns version a bit... off? It sounds like somebody took the multitrack from the strings/horns sessions, unmuted all the tracks, and added the released version on top of the strings/horns. The mix is a bit weird.

How much of the solo guitar is Prince on "If the Kid can't make you come"? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Reading through this thread it sounds like Closer To God has much better sound quality.
Does everyone agree with this?
How about Cool Love specifically as an earlier post claims the 'monofied' version is the best so far?
And what is the difference between 4 Lust here and a previous BFTP.....it may be my ears but they seem the same.
I'm trying to consensus about what to track down/keep/throw away.......

I'm really liking the simple old school organ sound on the Lovesexy demos. Very much in line with "Joy in Repetition"... take a listen to "Positivity #1" My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

. None, it's Jesse (well, according to Jesse!) . Awww, I wish that would be Prince on guitar. It's the best part of the song. Well, together with the last 3 minutes. When the choir is calling out "Holland France, London," and the song breaks down to only bass and a few seconds later with the piano and synth stabs. And finally comes together with that guitar playing. I seriously cried over how unbelievable this arrangement is played out. And now I find out that Prince ain't even playing guitar. Huge disappointment. This is a spectacular piece of music. | |

Of course I like Jesse. But I am educating my friends on Prince's guitar playing. And so far they are mind boggled of how good he is. This arrangement is by far one of the best outputs in later years for me. Would've been great to knock them out with this song. | |

I'm totally lovin' Madhouse: 18 & Over plus Playtime. But there's some weird scratching kind of noises on Playtime. It's rather annoying.. Here's hoping for a clean copy leaking soon.
An actual "Full Version" of Purple Rain might be nice, too.
