Hmm. That's interesting! I know the press release dates the recording to 1981, which does not appear in PrinceVault (the closest being April 1, 1982), so it seems that report is correct. Can't wait!

Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you!

All excited - then I saw the track listing.

No 101.

No Kept Woman.

No Bliss.

AND NO G-SPOT!!!

[Edited 4/25/19 2:57am]

I agree with you about 101 and G Spot.

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

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.

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.

Couldn’t be arsed to wade through all this. Your first line was on point, tho.

Audio quality aside this version of Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me has never been leaked or shared before. It’s totally new.

It's great we're getting an unknown version but with quite a few versions of this song existing it does make me wonder why they chose one with subpar audio quality unless they haven't come across the other versions yet. The leaked version we've had would sound incredible in pristine quality.

From what I understand the version of Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me on The Originals is a previously unheard and un-leaked version of the song from 1981. There are already well known versions of the song from the 77-78 period as well as one from 1982 and one from 1987. Unfortunately, though, although the *new* version really thumps and "is funky as hell" the overall sound quality is muddy.

Do not trust them on when a song was recorded. Look at how they got Possessed wrong...

no harder than clicking a link... and copy and pasting could be a violation as it is a copyright issue.

Kinda surprised they didn't give it a 5-star, like they do for many legacy artists. Either way, has me excited!

mnfriend	Thank you for posting the reviews. The RS review spent 70% of it’s words on Prince and gender, blown away I guess, but forgiven for amping anticipation of Prince vocals. (and I’m sorry I said I hate this place earlier) Thanks again.

Is anyone ready to admit that it was a huge mistake for the estate to not take the Tidal deal...at least from a fan's perspective. Everything about this release has been superior to the ones before it. The interviews, global promotion, listening parties, an album for the masses AND the hardcore alike. I wonder if it was a black thing...sounds weird but. It's like the family saw this hip hop star in Jay Z and said no way
were going to let some rapper handle this. A billionaire businessman, self made...with instructions in hand from Prince who vocally supported Tidal and artist rights. You really think he wanted his masters with the masters?
