The TIDAL screen is an advertisement so it’s not true. The timing is random on this picture.

could be... The Glamorous Life is 4:12... but my thought is which is easier? To do a mock up? or take a screen cap of it running? *I do hope Sex Shooter is longer than listed but that could mean others are shorter.

It’s a mock-up.

Me too (90 day free trial)

The pre save feature for Originals seems to be broken for me though...

"Sometimes he dreamed his songs: A portrait of Prince in the recording studio -- His L.A. engineer dishes on a new album of songs for other artists." by Jon Bream, Minneapolis Star Tribune, 6 June 2019

.

When Prince showed up at his favorite Los Angeles recording studio, engineer Peggy McCreary never knew what was going to happen. “It wasn’t like you could ask him,” she recalled. “He was very quiet. I got in his face: ‘You’re gonna have to talk to me. I can’t work if you’re just going to mumble instructions.’” They worked together for six years, beginning in 1981, at Sunset Sound, recording “Controversy,” “1999,” “Purple Rain” and other projects.

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.

This collection includes songs given to other artists as well as countless side projects over four decades. Given that, and any number of iterations, it has to number in the thousands. By definition. I feel embarrassed having to say this. Do you know anything about Prince? Please check yourself before you post.

Ah, pricetag! I think you need a hug!

He certainly seems to be leaving the door open to releasing follow-up volumes, if this one is received well.

great interview thanks mr Bart!

few big points:

That the idea for this came after "NC2U" was release

he did say there were other potential volumes depending on how this is recived.

he said in some cases they had to do some mixing because some tapes were nota good source for this project.

that indeed "Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me?" Is not a cirulating version. (so I was wrong when suggested not to trust the dates). And that the issues with the sound are do to it being recorded on a 16 track (which makes no sense to me)

random time to ask...and I have seen the Dirty Mind photos with Prince with a spray paint can with some of the Dirty Mind song titles as well as the back of the album with them painted on the wall...

But my question is what is up with that out of place / between the P and RiNCE. I assume (I did a basic search but did not find it) that was from the same time...maybe sprayed by Prince himself... but why the /? (but I will say it is something easy to remove...so I am sure it was in the original photos)

What time is the US Tidal release? I hope that it is midnight. Sorry if this has been already asked.

Midnight Eastern (9PM Pacific, 10PM Mountain, 11PM Central)

those times given here on messageboard are correct.
Sex Shooter is 3:06 and so on.
"Wouldn't You Love To Love Me..." is uptempo pop-rock version. and it's amazing.
I havent hear that version, dont know if it has circulated before.

It was confirmed that this version of "Wouldn't You Love To Love Me?" is not know to have ever been leaked... not even by some of the elite traders.


And No Fair! I got to wait 5 more hour!!
