I would love 2 see The Exodus released next w the Prince versions

Of the songs along with all of the unreleased material.

That would be awesome.

I think that would be a great release.

I really don't like Sonny T's vocals. Musically it is great but I find a rarely listen to it due to his awful vocals.

you might love to see this but the chances are very slim that this is going to be released anytime soon. If ever!

It's the kind of project we need a new incarnation of the NPGMC for.

You would think it would be something that the estate would want to release. It could be promoted as a Prince album never released in the USA. Just downplay the fact that Prince doesn't do all the vocals. And of course throw in some previously unreleased tracks to lure in the devoted fans.
IMO it's an unappreciated masterwork.
Let the world in on it.

Great idea - this is a great album. Getting bonus tracks with prince on vocals would be a bonus.

^^^^THIS 100%. I want Prince as the lead vocalist.

Under which contract(s) would these songs fall?

WB and Sony?

Good luck convincing them.

Better buy a boot, way quicker.

We can dream, they cannot sell.

I’d love it. One of my favourite albums.
.
Highly unlikely of course and our best bet could be if individual tracks leaked like his version of Get Wild.
.
From the outtakes I’ve always wanted his version of Love...Thy Will Be Done and Funky Design (with the ‘blow your mind..’ chorus)

Yes, we have a P version of Funky Design but it doesn't have the 'blow your mind, everybody's trippin on the funky design' chorus, like Sonnys.'

.

And we only have Sonny's version of Love...Thy Will Be Done from the 94 Exodus sessions

That version of Love... with Prince on vocals, is one of my most desired outtakes.

If prince combined the best of exodus with come and the gold experience it would have been immense.

Prince really just has way too much material to release for the average label to fathom. It is unlike 99.99999% of other artists who do not have 5 albums of outtakes for every one released.

Too much?

There's no such word.

It just takes a mission, strategy, a plan, and no such things aare known from WB/Estate/etc.

Every release is a one off project. It shows.

Can we expect and accept that from 'professionals'?

Exodus is crazy good and delivered on The Funk Bible promise of the Black Album. My funk loving friends adore it. The worst track is Cherry Cherry and even that's not too bad so the disc even has some consistency for a change. I'd lose the segues and have a copy of the CD I play that has them removed. Exodus has some of the heaviest funk Prince has ever laid down IMO and contains several of my favorite songs of his.

But hoping for a deluxe edition is..yeah...never gonna happen. It's too buried in his lexicon and most people, aside from the hardocre fans, even know about it or are aware it exists. Similar to the Undertaker, The Truth and ONA Piano really, where his best funk album, his best acoustic album, his best piano album and best rock album are reduced to being hard to find and under publicized rarites. For some reason.

Best we could realy hope for is maybe the estate includes it in a deluxe edition of Emacipation or Gold.
