"You're My Love" is one highlight of the record. Very pop, very Fleetwood Mac style, remind me "Money Don't Matter 2night" or "Five Women".

And "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" is awesome.

"Wouldn't..." is a killer ! Very groovy, very addictive.

OMG, ALREADY! I. CAN'T. WAIT. excited excited excited


Me too! I would be happy with just the samples that are going around now, even tho they might be different. The people I talked to said those samples were of the same quality as teh The Dance Electric sample that 'scary face you know who guy' made that leaked earlier this year, so if the quality on Originals is anything like that it's already better than PR Deluxe.

It frustrates the hell out of me that somebody out there has that version of The Dance Electric in such good quality and won't share it. I don't mean any any offence to that person, I'm sure they have their reasons and I know that nobody owes me anything. It would just be SO AMAZING to be able to listen to it. And my fear is that, since the other version of it was on PR Deluxe, the chances of it getting an official release anytime soon are virtually zero.

There's some heavy promo behind this, considering that Classic Pop puts it on the cover of their upcoming issue: https://www.facebook.com/...053003902/

Great. So now I have to cancel my Amazon pre-order and go get this one from the wrecka stow (aka Target). Hate when record companies play these games with exclusives tracks!

From what I could gather, these two reviews are quite glowing. It seems the only gripe so far is the sound quality on Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me. I’m even more desperate to hear Dear Michaelangelo now. drool3

I agree with your take. My limited French helped me a little. Google translate did the rest. It seems "Noon Rendezvous", "Make-Up" and "Gigolos Are Lonely Too" are all very well received. "Love Thy Will Be Done" seems to be the same version that has been on bootlegs for decades, but "Baby You're a Trip" seems like it has a little bit of "Mia Bocca" toward the end. It sounds like "Holly Rock" really slams. Also, apparently Jill Jones takes the chorus of "Manic Monday".

Very excited to hear this!

It blew me away when I forst heared that sample because I thought that version was lost (this was according to Andre Cymone and Wendy and Lisa) but knowing that it is out there or even that it is in the vault make me happy. Maybe whenever The Estate gets there act togheter they will eventually do proper archival releases with everything from album sessions, that would include outtakes like The Dance Electric.
But it also frustrates me that these things are being held back by these 'Elite' collectors. But they probably have good reasons.

Kinda sad when you think about the missed opportunities with this release. If a fan wants to buy the versions as released by those artists, they need to spend a lot of time and money on tracking down those recordings. In a way this album is almost a sampler for a series of releases, i.e. expanded editions of those associate records which would include the "Prince versions" where available. But that series isn't coming any time soon (unless the estate pulls a massive rabbit out of their hats).

.

From the first:

.

Original version: Sinead O'Connor, "I Do not Want What I Have Not Got", Ensign, 1990.

.

The guy points to PrinceVault numerous times, and yet this gets included? Or wait, is that how the album presents it?

Isn't it a Tidal exclusive for the first 14 days? Unless they do a promotional single I doubt we'll see one anywhere else. Unless you count Nothing Compares 2 U, which I guess is technically a single release from this album.

RIP sad

This release should have only included one-off songs given to artists, like the Kenny Rogers song.
Like they should have included Prince's versions of With This Tear and leave The Time, Vanity 6, Appolonia 6, SHeila E. songs for remastres/expanded edition of those albums.

There is no advance copy, it was a listening session organised by Warner in Paris, all day yesterday, with press, managers from record stores, etc.

So according to my friendly local record store owner in the UK, there are two (vinyl) versions of this...

the 'standard' black vinyl 2LP, which will be £28.99,

and the Deluxe Edition, which will be 2 180gm coloured vinyl pieces and the album on CD, plus also a book with photos and interviews and info on the tracks. This will retail at £48.99.

Just as with Piano And A Microphone, I plumped for the standard edition for my order.

I'm not spending 50 quid on one album, just to get some picture book... I'd rather have black vinyl anyway and I don't care about having the album on CD.... and this price gouging is just getting insulting now.... £48.99!!!!!! What?

Glad they are releasing a standard black vinyl version, but even that is overpriced at £28.99.

Ah well.... it had better sound effing good, like the recent Sony reissues do, or there will be trouble!
