Is it just me, or does this track sound similar to Bowie's Let's Dance? Seriously, check it out. I think it predates Bowie as well, which is interesting. | |

[Edited 11/8/19 19:16pm] [Edited 11/9/19 2:26am] To my ears, Kiss Me Quick sounds exactly like a 79 song. Especially in the vocal harmony, which is often what gives an era away second to the production and arrangement. I don't hear anything close to Controversy in Kiss Me Quick so I'm not that sure why someone even thought it was from that era. This song is a curious case because even on the box there is a lot of extra info that implies some stuff we didn't know. To me, it sounds entirely plausible that one song was recorded on the tape for some time and then the other two were added after because it was space that existed. It'd be interesting if Don Batts actually remembered the song and had some info on it's creation. | |

Decent little track.
. Listening to it really solidifies for me that what I most want to hear is songs I never heard before or songs that are radically different from what I’ve heard. “Don’t Let Him Fool Ya” sounds very similar to the bootleg I already heard and therefore just isn’t that exciting to me (no fault to the estate). Whereas, I am loving “International Lover (Take 1) [Live in Studio]” and “I Feel for You (acoustic demo)” which are both new to my ears. I can only imagine that if all three were new to me, then I might rate them differently. . So what does all this rambling mean ... it means I’m super psyched for 1999 Super Deluxe because it has at least a half dozen songs I’ve never heard before! . Btw, the lyrics to DLHFY are pretty fun.

I know some people here are complaining about the quality, but that's just because they used the original 1/2" tape mix... Which I was actually happy about when I found out (they weren't able to fuck it up too bad from what Prince and Don Batts did back in the day...)
Original 1/2" (& 1/4" in at least 1 case) mixes should be used with "Can't Stop" and "Do Yourself A Favor" (and I believe "Turn It Up" and the alt. "Something In The Water"). [Edited 11/9/19 18:49pm] [Edited 11/9/19 18:50pm] usually known as "Leaped7689" | |

Jesse Johnson’s “She I Can’t Resist” from _Shockadelica_ uses a similar synth hook. I posted it in my earlier reply on this thread. [Edited 11/10/19 10:51am] | |

I finally got around to listening to this on a proper system. Does it sound abnormally bassy to anyone else, especially for a song of this time? "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

I totally agree..the sound! I'm so happy these tracks sound this good.
As for the song, I didn't have a lot of interest when I first heard it a few Blast from the Pasts ago. It really sounds like something he could do in his sleep. It is still a thrill to hear him so clear...I'll have my real impression made when I play it nice and loud when I get my hand on the discs. I'm supremely excited about the remaster job on the album. I really do not think i've ever heard (as someone on P&B said) the lin drum sound so crisp, clear and full than I did on the Baby You're a Trip from Originals. I can just imagine how amazing 1999 is going to sound. | |
