Report on music given to attendees at Celebration 2023

All A Share Together Now and 7 E flat version have been given out to celebration attendees.

They were shared on a USB key looking like a cassette.

I expect this to get shared sometime today.

Labelled as vault series vol 1.

Hopefully these will be put up for download to all soon.

Wouldn't it be cool if they did put up a digital service and it opened with songs played at the Celebration.

An online service is the best way forward to allow us tp obtain as much material as we can before we all die.

Funny: the cassette has different recording dates than the dates that were said during the presentation.

.

1. All A Share Together Now (04 Sep 2006)

.

2. 7 (E Flat Version) (09 Aug 1992)

.

Hmmm these 2 songs were listed among the songs previewed at the Celebration. Judging by the fact that this cassette is labeled “vault series vol 1” then it could mean that they intend to release all of those unreleased songs presented to the attendees! Or… maybe I’m setting my expectations too high lol

Massive shame about the typo on the track 'All Are Shared Together Now'

They can't even spell his songs correctly.

He literally sings the words "All A share Together Now."

"All A Share Together Now" is typical later-era Prince where he thinks a simple loop with him shouting some things on top of it and some muso BS constitutes a song.

.

"7 (E Flat Version)" is him taking a distinctive pop song and making it into an unremarkable R&B slug.

Can’t wait to hear them! Are they being released today or tomorrow? I’m hearing conflicting reports.

Can I have a version of this 7 that doesn't sound like it was put through a woodchipper?

Other than that, these are cool. Thanks ESTATE! Though I don't like the "Vault Series" branding, that would suck if they went forward with that concept.

Let me take a wild guess and say VAULT SERIES VOL. 1 will be all the songs played at Paisley a few days ago.

I agree "All A Share Together" is pretty simplistic and nothing great, but I think it's still a pleasant groove. It makes for good background music, but not something I'd focus on while wearing headphones.

I can't stand "7 E Flat". I agree that he abused an original pop song, but I'm not sure that I hear this version as generic R&B. It just sounds like unpleasant noise to me.

Holy shit the sound. Is this what the USB sticks sound like? Or has the sound been degraded? All A Share sounds fine but 7 sounds like it was sourced from the Livin’ 2 Die boot. If is what it sounds like on streaming, I’m going to throw my phone in Lake Minnetonka.

That said, this version of 7 is funky as hell. I love the 90s R&B vibe. Take out the finger symbols and it almost sounds like a couple of the things he released a few years later.

All A Share is a grower, and gets better with repeated listens. Almost could have fit on Welcome 2 America.

I don’t really like the idea of a vault series of hodgepodge configurations from different eras. But if that’s the only way to get to hear more vault recordings, then I’ll be here waiting.

The MP3s on the USB are... 128kbps! Just like those atrocious uploads from NPGMC in the early 2000s.

All A Share Together Now has grown on me but is nothing special.

The version of 7 is OK but the sound is so poor it ruins it.

Out all the songs played they probably gave away the two least interesting.

Others are saying those are the converted tracks and not the files that are on the USB, but I've yet to see anyone specify what format those are in. As per usual Prince fans are needlessly secretive...

Found the files to listen to.

What they're calling "All A Share Together Now" is to me by far the most interesting, even if it's essentially a Rainbow Children outtake (and not a terribly exciting one). It's still new, and I appreciate that. It's the snippet they played with the Celebration announcement way back when. Some people on here were trying to claim that it sounded like D&P era but I'm glad to know that my ears haven't failed me. Definitely has a bit of a "The Work Pt. 1" vibe to it. While I can see why people hear him singing "All-a share together now" at the end, unless he forgot how to speak his native language, I'm pretty sure he's just saying "all share together now" with a little "lift" or whatever you want to call it after the "all." It irks me that they're releasing this with a title that literally makes no sense.

"7" is... fine? Like this what I expect to be on a SDE set, but as a standalone release it's very underwhelming to me. It's just 7 with the "2 Whom it May Concern" beat (but none of the insanely fun swagger from that song), and some different vocals, but it's not something I really feel the need to listen to again. If it was in a playlist I probably wouldn't turn it off...? Although honestly I probably would.

I wish I was more excited. I definitely still want to hear (and pay for) literally any and everything that he's got in the vault, studio and live. But if their strategy is gonna be this slow drip, I'm very close to losing interest in Prince altogether, for the first time in 41 years. That makes me sad, but there's lots of other great music out there. And maybe it's just a temporary dip.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

I'm still not seeing where it says "Vault Series Vol. 1" in any of these pics, what am I missing?

Or at least speed up the releases and give us a box set with a huge collection of vault tracks and 2 SDE each year. I think we can handle that. This year both D&P and Parade SDE should be released imo.
