Yes yes we have the secret chapter and also put together the New World Playlist from the Steve Parke artwork which had

01 Righ Back Here In My Arms

02 Slave 2 The System

03 Slave

04 New World

05 2020

06 Feel Good

07 Journey 2 The Centre Of Your Heart

08 Eye Am The DJ

09 Emancipation

For me 3 Discs for Emanicaption is too much, split down into single disc albums is easier to digest.

We don't need to play that game again. Everyone likes a different single disc config, and that's why releasing the three disc set was exactly the right thing to do. I've seen single discs suggested where I don't like most of the tracks. Some people even like DaDaDa ffs!

I used to think that "Love Never Has 2 Say Goodbye" was from around this time as well and usually included it in my makeshift 1 disc try outs.

But now I've seen it mentions on princevault that it is actually from 1997 and not written by prince.

Well, I guess you learn something new about prince everyday smile Great song tho.

Prince def did the data dump approach to album making decades early

Doesnt mean it was a good thing though lol

It's been said time and again that these tapes were not always actual album configurations and they were just intended the same way our Spotify and apple Music playlists are today. He'd pop the tapes in the car and go cruising. He'd also put certain songs on playlists as placeholders where he wanted a certain vibe and some tracks hit close to that.

I don't believe he was actually intending on that tracklist being the follow up to Gold Experience. He was juggling like 5 projects at this time and this is clear when you see how many different configurations a song like The Same December ended up on (same with Funky Design).

And of all the songs on the Emancipation cutting room floor that I've heard, he definitely picked the cream of the crop to release. I don't think there's a single outtake from 1994-1998 that I'd have rather heard on a relevant album except maybe Beautiful Strange (which found a release shortly after anyway).


I would have included Slave 2 The System, Journey 2 The Center Of U're Heart, Goodbye and Stone on Emancipation over the covers.

Slave 2 The System would be a no brainer.
.
I like both Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart and Goodbye but it was ballad heavy, some had to miss out.

How come this tracklist was added on the vault and not the one on the Steve parke artwork?

Is there any back ground to this track list?

Doesn't look much like a techno album to me. smile


The previous config had more dance tracks, but still no Techno tho, more Euro dance trash lol (when compared to the other dance tracks on it)

[Edited 8/11/22 2:31am]



So did the other configuration have any other unknown tracks on it.

Not here. Ask somewhere else to the person who has it/them.
maybe he'll share it publicly then (or more privately as it's a private place so it won't end up here)

[Edited 8/11/22 2:43am]

I don't think it's giving up any insider secrets to share a tracklist. lol

The boot I have is called, Emancipation The Secret Chapter

Slave 2 The System
New World
Slave
2020
Feel Good
Right Back Here In Your Arms
Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart
I Am The DJ
Goodbye
Emancipation



I don't think it's either but sharing info or other things from a private server is a no-no.
