Nah... they can keep this one in the vault LOL. Personally I thought the 3rdEyeGirl project was a stud overall BESIDES the title track and AnotherLove. Two good songs.... I think P knew it too. I'm glad he released the far superior ArtOfficialAge..

I would actually like to see this, a lot of stuff I really enjoy spread out over this era, and include some of the live shows from the Live out Loud tour or the London HitnRun shows, or both.

Of course it's one of the least liked albums he released so... maybe in 2113.

please no!

everyone knows prince had a shit ton of music to put out all the time, more or less.

whether it deserved to all be put out is another thing entirely.

this era should have been summed up with ONE album, not FOUR.

jeeeeeeeeeeez.

terrible decision making.

just a way to exploit fans for a bit of cash.

one album from this period would have been fine.

something like -

breakdown

way back home

time

rock n roll love affair

funk n roll (plectrum electrum version)

when she comes

another love

tictactoe

june

revelation

no one needs all that other stuff.

I have to disagree 100% with all of this shit above Sure, 2 of the 4 albums are not that strong and contain some filler but ART OFFICIAL AGE and HITNRUN2 are good, strong, solid albums, even if the HITNRUN2 album is more of a compilation - that just goes to show you how strong the stuff is,
that a compilation feels as strong as most other artists albums.

I wish our dude had seen fit to release another 2 albums in this period. Heaven knows he had enough material for them. Exploiting fans for a bit of cash?
I never got that idea with these last releases especially because it cost him some trouble to even get HNR2 released in physical format yet he did it.

This post made me laugh so hard, thank you!

I'd listen to it but never gonna happen. No one's gonna buy this so the estate certainly aint gonna do it.

no

There are songs on this album that I Love and some that just don't make any sense to me. "Boytrouble" and "Tictactoe" being prime examples.

I thought it was April Fools Day when i read this!

no,thank you

I would seriously rather have a remastered Apollonia 6 CD.

BOYTROUBLE is one of the worst songs ever written. For that reason alone, any Super Deluxe idea that doesn't somehow exclude it, is a bad idea.

The hate for BoyTrouble is perplexing to me... this is the one track that seems retro purple if you listen the the music (blank out the vocal is that's what's prominent, personally I never listen to vocals first, that's always an afterthought to me to check into later).

I have to agree on that.

lol

True.

No I even don't like the musicality of it.

For me it is not classic Prince at all.

And the lyrics... serious?

Must've been an idea of one of the younger girls

...

Might as well release a SDE of 'New Power Soul' instead.

Affraid it's on the same level.

But we'll never know for sure until it happens,

And we all might be blown aways by a couple of unheard songs...

Who knows.

Wasn't Lizzo 'helping' on Boy Trouble?
