Prince Estate to Release ‘Originals’ Album: His Versions of Songs He Gave to Other Artists (EXCLUSIVE) Post on Part 2 Discussion Sticky: https://prince.org/msg/7/459740 Source: https://variety.com/2019/music/news/prince-estate-to-release-originals-album-songs-he-gave-to-other-artists-1203197451/ APRIL 24, 2019 6:42PM PT It’s a rare singer-songwriter who can just give away undeniable hits like “Nothing Compares 2 U,” “Manic Monday” and “The Glamorous Life” to other artists, but that’s exactly what Prince did throughout his 40-year career.

- Happy for this news, but not all that excited really. I do love the artwork ! Great artwork !!! - Well let me assemble this tracklist from the (bad quality) ones I have from bootlegs, so I can already feel what it's going to be like. Maybe I can change my mind. - Thing is, there are tons of unknown releases in the vault. I guess we will never see those before 2030... Hope I'm wrong. They will always try to make $$ out of stuff most people know. - "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.

So am I the only person excited for this? Got shitty versions of most of these, so having great versions is something I'm looking forward to. Not sure I've even heard a version of Manic Monday with Prince on lead or Jungle Love. RIP ![]() | |

This is great - these are mostly killer songs, and I would love to hear Prince's version in a hopefully great sound quality. Crossing fingers they add some nice liner notes too!!!
I have some of these songs on boots, but mostly the sound quality is rather dull - so let's hear them in cristal clear sound | |

Well I'll take it. Not really that bothered about hearing sex shooter with his vocals to be honest. And a shame songs like Tear that he did for celine Dion isn't on there, but to have these in hopefully great quality will be nice. | |

I know it won't be, but if it turns out to be the NPG version with Prince vocals, I'll buy it twice RIP ![]() | |

As WhisperingDandelions said in the other thread:
' I'm the most excited and surprised by the inclusion of this song. It's one of the best songs he didn't put his name to, and probably the strangest. Just the other day I was wodnering what it would sound like with Prince's vocals. Hundalasiliah! | |||

Slightly concerned they might be edited/short versions, as 15 tracks have to fit on 1 CD (70 mins). I would prefer the full length versions ideally and Prince liked to record 10-15 minutes. Not done the math but will we get the full length Glamorous Life or Jungle love? They may use some sort of shorter version for the casual buyer as well. There is mention of a deluxe version to follow?... | |

WOW- for a double LP I’m thinking we may get some extended/long’ish versions of these songs. Such an amazing surprise | |

All excited - then I saw the track listing. No 101. No Kept Woman. No Bliss. AND NO G-SPOT!!!

Now THIS is more like it. I'm sure there will be flaws (e.g. the artwork) but I fully support this idea. [Edited 4/25/19 3:12am] "I think people ought to know that we're anti-fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist and we're pro-creative. We're against ignorance." | |

I'm already putting together my wish list for volume 2 Can't wait for this release. Excellent idea that many of us have been craving. | |

yes & it's bloody brilliant! much easier interface than apple etc. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
am I right in thinking that these types of releases are cheaper & easier to release due to copyright issues? For example say the Revolution tracks will have co-write credits etc. Therefore anything that is solo Prince keeps most of the $ within the estate? | |

It probably means we're still about a decade away from, say, re-releasing the full associated artists with complete Prince demos/guide tracks but i'll take this.

yes, another album full of things we already have - just what I wanted, can't imagine how i survived that long without knowing I needed this! | |

This is something to look forward too. Rereleases are nice, but this is a step in the right direction. Prince vault material. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan | |
