I went to Chicago to see the Act 1 tour and I was lucky enough to go to the aftershow at Cabaret Metro. He did Come and Papa. Before he started Papa, he said that the song was new and needed his purple notebook for the lyrics. Somebody brought it out and he did the song while looking at the lyrics in his book. So cool! Pheromone is one of my all time Prince favorites.

I was a fan of Come when it came out.

In recent years, I made a remix album called Come Again, with different versions, new ocean sounds (no poems). I used two version of the title track meshed together, I mixed the album and Versace version of "Loose", same with "Race," I believe.

It's practically the same run time (4 seconds difference.)

So I listen to both quite often. It's a very cool and moody album.

Is the sound better onthis one than the original 2 LP promo?

.
I haven't heard either, but knowing that vinyl-mastering is always an inevitable bunch of compromises (due to the physical limitations of the format), it would be almost a miracle to make a single LP-version sound better than the same material spread out on 2 LPs. Having more room means being able to cut deeper bass and a higher dynamic range.
.
BTW, someone on a.m.p. just reported that the Estate f..ked up this new release too by cutting the very end (P saying 'cool') of Loose. They really should stick to producing bedsheets...

Yes, the comments on discogs say that it's only the U.S. pressing that has the incomplete version of "Loose".

If this is a Sony Legacy release, then it's just a vinyl pressing for the sake of a vinyl pressing. It's not a proper remaster as the NPG/WB stuff was.

Cannot believe Im still commenting on this album after all these years, however I have always loved it from its first release. I remember being donefounded by its negative reaction from the media on its first release. Its always been my guilty pleasure album for years. And then yers later it seemed to get more and more love.

come is a good album

even at this stage of his unhappiness with WB, prince still put together 'albums'

but i dont really think its all amazing, even if its all enjoyable

letitgo is prob the best written song on it.

but i like papa, solo, orgasm, dark quite a lot.

Still dont see the point of the new come pressing unless they do something special with it For an estate obsessed with merch, why no come tissues? Or condoms? A missed opportunity if you ask me

I always wanted a keyboard with a "Come" button, like in The Beautiful Experience.

that "cool" at the end of loose going into papa is one of my favorite moments in his whole discog

My vinyl arrived the other day and noticed the end of Loose "cool" being cut off...and yeah, was disappointed.

Still love it and happy this awesome album is on vinyl...but try some QC before production! It would be greatly beneficial. Us hardcores, who are the ones buying this, will notice immediately.
