Dag nabbit!!! Trying to hold out until the actual release but I might have to submit to temptation and listen to this.

I believe these become available at midnight in the local territory. So seeing as how Aus is ahead of the rest of the world I guess we'll get it when our clocks hit midnight. At least, on iTunes I mean.

Waiting for spotify in Europe you could listen the sample in iTunes New Zealand.

The sound quality seems very very good.

The sound is brilliant.

Yes, from the sample it seems the same. Bit the sound quality seems better to me.

Sounds nice! It's not one of my favorite outtakes, but hearing it in its proper fidelity makes much more enjoyable, which I hope is the case with the rest of the set.

The only unreleased songs from this era that I ever really loved on the same level as his released material were Moonbeam Levels, Extraloveable, and Baby You're A Trip. I like some of the others like Purple Music, Possessed, Feel U Up/IB, and If It'll Make U Happy, as well, but to a lesser extent.

I hope hearing them in this quality will give me more of an appreciation for some of these tracks that I never really cared about like Turn It Up, No Call U, etc.

The leaked FLAC which is supposedly from the offical store has some clipping in the opening count-off, that is present in the bootleg version. I'm wondering if this leak is indeed legit, or if that imperfection is present in the master recording. Anyone who has heard the iTunes or Spotify link can confirm or deny?

It doesn't sound like clipping to me but after the first kick there is a distortion sound for a split second. Almost sounds like something hitting/brushing a mic so quick you barely notice.

During the number 3 in the opening count-off.

AHhh gotcha, yeah it does seem like 1, 2, and then 3 all kind of increase in volume successively and there is a slight clip on 3.

This song has always sounded so Dirty Mind era to me, much more than 1999 era. Must be the stripped down arrangement.

Agreed - even the way he uses his falsetto in this song and the vocal arrangement is just super Dirty Mind to me. Never would've believed it was actually 1999 had the estate not 100% confirmed it. It still seems fishy, even.

I liked "International Lover" a tad bit better but this was still good. I'm very excited for this set to be released!

Really weird...video is no more available on the Official Channel!!!

There should be adverts on Saturday evneing amongst the popular shows on TV plugging the 1999 Super Deluxe Version
