I agree with you about 101 and G Spot.


I’ve heard Prince’s versions of 101 and G Spot. They are out there, and much better than the released versions.

Pointless thing to say, and agree with. You could say the same for a 1000 other titles. Wait for vol 63, or whatever.

I am sure many Prince Fans would like to have some other song choices on this set. How many songs did he give away? 100? so 15 is a good start....

So I got the 90 trial of Tidal and I do like the set up... very much. Both on PC and Phone... the sound is good too... but I am not going to keep it. (after the 21st it will be on my Amazon anyway)

Just looked at getting a free trial but it says you will not get another free trial if you've had one previously with your Apple ID.

I got one around HNR Phase 2 so I'll have to bite the bullet and pay a months subscription mad

I just used my new work email, pretty sure I used the same card before, it's coming up to it's expiry time so it's a pretty old card.

The two French reviews I read were pretty glowing. They did state, however, some of the tunes suffered from poor audio...

I’ll give that a try. The different email isn’t a problem but I’ll have to use a different card and I’m not sure if my Apple ID will be picked up when I open the Tidal app on my phone

They really should have left of Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me as the sound is below par. I'm afraid though the negative nannies are going to focus in on it and we will hear ad infinitum about it, just like Moonbeam Levels and disc 2 of Pr deluxe.

I say listen to wouldn't u love 2 love me first.

I subscribed to TIDAL since Prince choose to work with them and i really like how they treaded him.

You still have some Prince exclusives and also besides his music Tidal has some nice playlists and i like their design in general.

Can`t wait for june 7 wink smile

Yeah, no tidal for me, I'm willing to wait to pick up the physical release. Not that I'll need to, it'll be "around" to hear everywhere before the end of the day Friday.

I'll be picking up the Target exclusive CD, I'll likely pick up the regular vinyl edition at my local wrecka stow sometime down the road. Too bad even though I'll be buying twice I probably won't get liner notes because some "genius" has decided that they should be an exclusive for deluxe editions.

From what I hear, it was full of music business types talking loudly over the music.

Glad to see that Prince's music is getting the respect that it deserves hmm

Really?
Could you REALLY say the same for 1000 titles?
I don’t think 1000 Prince songs have been released by other artists. But please make a point, it might do you good to contribute rather than flame on low gas.

It’s not pointless.
There is a battle going on (behind the scenes) of what is happening to the Prince legacy, with multiple parties involved, nearly all of which are ‘reducing’ the Prince legacy to a massive cash grab to varying degrees.
Lines of communication coming out of these entities are vague and unhelpful to the Prince fan community at best.
So it would be great to have some sense of an identity (or even a reasonable holistic voice) for the Prince fan community as who knows how much attention those multiple parties give places like .org.
Debate and discussion are supposed to facilitate that.
But if people are here just to try and belittle others, and be pedantic over innocuous posts then all the Prince fan community deserves is Tony M’s ORIGINALS of the entire catalogue.
20 years and this place hasn’t changed.

perhaps i'm not the best person to point this out right now, seeing that i've just become
a bit pedantic with someone else on this thread (although, such is not my usual modus
operandi), but it usually helps to just visit someone's org profile, if they make a snide or
seemingly flaming comment for no good reason. that usually gives you some insight into
what kind of person you're dealing with and wether they're worth getting worked up over.

just saying smile

than again, sometimes it's also not that difficult to see why people joke about posts. like
for instance your own post 2 above, about there being a bonus track on the target version
and the 'sorry if duplicate'.

you can get pissed off about that or you can think to yourself 'you know what, i gave the
information and oh duh it turned out it had been mentioned about 2 dozen times already
on this thread and the bonus track even had it's very own thread in this forum as well, so
yeah, maybe i shouldn't be pissed off that people comment on that or laugh at me.'

what's more rude? people making a joke, without actually attacking someone's person,
or someone asking questions which have obviously been answered multiple times in the
very same thread they ask them on -thus kind of saying "yeah y'all have your whole
thread going on here but i have no time for that i'm more important, i need answers
now and i'm not going to scroll through all this".

so excuse people for being a bit snide once in a while. it doesn't mean 'the org has gone
to shit'. not everything is a huge problem and a matter of life or death or of being or
feeling slighted or cut to the bone. we should all, me included (case in point: this rant)
be a little more "oh wait, what did **I** do, that might have made you...." instead of
"YOU WRONGED ME OMG YOU CAME FOR ME AND TRIED TO END ME YOURE THE DEVIL"

a little less 2019 and a little more 1994, i guess, is what i'm hoping for.

Maybe because a lot of the vault tracks are of subpar quality? People in the know have been saying for years that the vault was in disarray, that Prince had not backed up his tapes, that they were deteriorating, that he basically did not care. Yet now people want to blame the quality of recent releases on WB using "cassette" copies from their own mythical vault (that does not exist) because they know how to use Audacity. It's hilarious to me.

Yeah, the French reviews have said the same. I was hoping for a better copy of this version, but sounds like that won't happen: https://www.youtube.com/w...RsS295ELqA

Still looking forward to hearing it.
