I don't know if it's because I'm use to the leaked version but Glamorous Life's mixing is weirding me out. Like they have the claps way too high. And what's up with them leaving Prince saying something during the intro?

100 MPH sounds like work was done it much later than the original “demo”. Vocal quality doesn’t match the instrumentation.

The only logical explanation I can think of is that the estate is intentionally putting out songs with bad quality so years later they can go “buy this release because these songs sound much better than they did on that other thing!!”
Their plan is to be over-milking it

So far the only one that seems to be the same as the bootlegs is "Baby You're a Trip"

[Edited 6/6/19 21:54pm]

The bootleg version doesn't have Jill's vocals. Or the last 2 minutes or so.

I need to check "Love Thy Will Be Done"


and "Wound't You Love To Love Me?" maybe... not the best choice... sound wise. But Like this take.

Love sounds pretty much the same I believe, perhaps a slight bit cleaner (at least from what I can remember).

Ok at least two more. But this is the theory that makes most sense to me.

At least it doesn’t have the second verse error.

So I just finished listening. Here's my thoughts.

.

- I think this is a great gateway for new listeners. This should've been the first posthumous release.

- Outside of The Glamorous Life mix I mentioned and the demo of Wouldn't It Be Nice Wouldn't You Love To Love Me, it sounded great. Wouldn't You Love isn't even that bad. It sounds like a boot with muffled vocals. If I had to guess, I would guess they Frankenstein'd multiple takes together.

- Strangely, the song that doesn't fit is Noon Rendezvous. It's an amazing song but it's also bare in this version and slows a fairly upbeat album.

- Please no more Nothing Compares 2 U. I'll probably be replacing that with A Million Miles (I Love You)

.

Solid, solid release. Good job Estate.

You're my love sounds like it was meant for the Time. He's phrasing is the way he phrases it for Morris. c.f. Girl (the time)

The showcasing of vocal styles and variety is what i am enjoying most.

There are things he is doing here that were not done on any released items.

Glad that very few sound like know bootlegged items.

The Vault has many many pearls it seems.

so far the firsr 7 (including 100 MPH) seem to be to not be in circulation. In the boot of 100MPH I do not remember a count off...


You're My Love is way unexpected I had hear Kenny's version this seems vastly different and his voice... WOWZA

I was looking forward to You're My Love. I think it's rare to hear Prince sing in his baritone for most of the song. The only song that comes immediately to mind with his deep voice is I Love U In Me.

This album is awesome, much better than I expected. Agree that the different vocal styles is one of the best parts.

I’m shocked by how much I’m enjoying Sex Shooter because I really didn’t like this song before.

The overall diversity of musical styles, range of singing, and general creativity is so cool. A couple of the songs suffer from feeling very much like demos (which some are), so he hits these points where he sounds like he’s not quite giving the vocals his full care and effort. But that’s a small complaint because even then it’s kind of amazing, like the little nuances in Jungle Love and the occasional little gaps that would be filled in later or changed slightly by the artist who received and released the song.

Manic Monday is also way better than I expected, somehow the lyrics are a bit more impactful in this version. It’s still a light song but has a bit of a more melancholy feel to me.

Im up too Dear Michaelangelo so far. And its all very enjoyable so far,and likable. Its certainly for the new listener or fan. Sex shooter is so annoying because they cut it off too short, as they do with some others. But really they carnt really go wrong with this record. Its just too much fun! There are a couple of curve balls in there like makeup and your my love, . please next lets have some later songs put together. Black is the new Black please!

YES!

Finally, this is the real deal. After all the cassette-sourced posthumous releases, this one is genuinely from The Vault.
.

Gorgeous, clean sound with the depths, real colours, textures and flavours of those analog synths. This is how 'Love & Sex', 'Computer Blue', 'Wonderful Ass' and the other PR-outtakes should've been released, instead of the sonic mess we got of those masterpieces...
.
I'm really loving this. Yes, 'Wouldn't You Love To Love Me' sounds bad, but still, it is sourced from the master, it was just recorded poorly. It is what it is. And the poor quality of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' is no surprise, it's the only partially-cassette sourced master on this collection, while the other 14 songs are truly from the vault, so I'm not complaining.
.

This is an album that does justice to Prince. Those with ears for great musicianship will be thrilled to hear the details, the nuances of the different parts. His playing on all instruments (but especially on guitar) is soulful, meaningful and delivered with masterful precision. His vocal performances are breathtaking. All this from a guy in his early 20s...

.
'Noon Rendezvous' is absolutely sublime. 'Baby, You're A Trip' takes you to church and will make you tear up.
