I'm gonna be sad if the October 86' re-record of Witness 4 The Prosecution isn't included. If they can include multiple A Place In Heaven's then they sure as hell can include multiple Witnesses.

Interesting little bit of trivia...

Early in his career Lenny Kravitz went by the stage name "Violet Blue"...

- 60 ???? Violet Blue ???? (recorded 5 days prior to Emotional Pump)

You're right! Sorry. My bad.

I liked the idea that jaorecords with I Need A Man being recorded at the same time as 68-70 so I clicked day by day through PrinceVault and I came up with this list based on roughly chronological recording. Warning PURE SPECULATION and WISHFUL THINKING

Missed When The Dawn Of The Morning Comes in my review. That probably makes more sense than Rescue Me.

Maybe, but I've wanted to hear that cover so very bad for years.

so the 7" mix of Crystal Ball is the only version of that song included?

or am I overlooking it in the partial tracklist that's been posted?

I've gone over it several times but i might have some weird blind spot

It's the only version included that we know about so far, but there seem to be 10 slots among the vault tracks still to be 'announced'.

.

Must haves imo -

Walkin in Glory

Cosmic Day

Wally

Coco Boys

It Be's Like That Sometimes (03:19)

Nope. Posted the one they got from here.

They are in the know and get the scoops.

LOL.

Dude, their tracklist has a typo.

I'm not sure how I will feel about the Crystal Ball 98 tracks being omitted. I really they should be on this set, however we do already have them so it's not the end of the world. What would be is if Rebirth, Cosmic Day, Witness 86 and Wally are missing. Of the listed tracks I'm most pleased to see Love and Sex and the songs offered to Bonnie Riatt.

I don't mind too much since the CB98 tracks like you said are already out there - however I do hope they are because the CB98 versions were victims to the loudness war and I would have liked a more dynamic mastering of them so it would be sonically consistent with the upcoming SOTT outtakes

haha yes that is exactly what he'd like you to believe

There's no way that they could leave "Rebirth Of The Flesh" offa this set, right? I'm happy about getting all of these tracks in great quality, but a clean version of "Rebirth Of The Flesh" has been on my wantlist since I first heard it.

They belong on this set but I had a hunch they wouldn't be. Still there IS another version of Crystal Ball (long). Would be odd they wouldn't use such a famous track. Pity "Dream Factory" might not be here. I hold out a little hope the key CB 98 tracks will make the cut. I hope "Crucial (Alternate lyrics)" is the sax version!

I know you're going to be jealous but ALL of these below would be NEW to me!!!

- 34 It's A Wonderful Day (Original Version) (03:47)
- 35 Strange Relationship (Original Version) (06:41)

- 38 Power Fantastic (Live In Studio) 07:18
- 40 And That Says What? (01:50)
- 41 Love And Sex (04:11)
- 43 Colors (01:01)
- 44 Crystal Ball (7" Mix) (3:29)
- 45 Big Tall Wall (Version 1) (5:58)
- 48 Train (4:22)
- 49 It Ain't Over 'Til The Fat Lady Sings 2:21
- 50 Eggplant (Original Prince Vocal) (5:18)
- 51 Everybody Want What They Don't Got (2:08)

"Rebirth of the Flesh" belongs without debate on this set, unless they are going to release Camille in some limited edition for Record Store Day...


But then a clear Parade track "All My Dreams" is listed?

But then no "Old Friend 4 Sale" or "Others Here With Us" makes me hopeful for Parade SD.

YO MISTER (Prince Version) has got to be included!

Initial tracking: November 11, 1986.

Song tracked right before this one? If I Was Your Girlfriend. Right After? Cosmic Day, Adore, Play in the Sunshine.

How is this not crucial to this box set? It's also an amazing recording in its own right.

[Edited 6/9/20 21:25pm]

Why would "All My Dreams" be considered for SOTT Deluxe and not Parade Deluxe? That almost made the Parade album, right?

If "Dream Factory" isn't on SOTT Dlx that's a major omission and means Legacy has the rights. That was definitely post Parade, yes?

then what era do these fit?

An Honest Man

Last Heart

Movie Star

Sexual Suicide

Make Your Mama Happy

Good Love

It's my opinion that All My Dreams belongs on both Parade and Sign Deluxe.

Dream Factory morphed into Sign so all tracks that were at one point on any Dream Factory configuration should ideally be on a Sign deluxe.

It must be bloody hard to look up the Dream Factory configs.
