I keep noticing new things every time I listen to the vault tracks...

.

Alice Through The Looking Glass: Prince's "Doop da doo doop" singing from about 20 seconds onwards is a guide for a horn section... and not meant to be there (I'm 99% sure). There's horn parts in Sheila E's live version. Not quite the same, but obviously what was intended to go there.

I wonder if they were ever recorded, or the Estate just didn't notice, or couldn't find the recordings?

if you have heard the leaked version of "coco boys" he scats the horn lines... (1:44 ish into the song--that I don't have and have never heard) with real horns (or maybe synth) in the released (Mess) at about 1:35.

the more i hear lauriann, i keep thinking it could have been on chaos and disorder.

The real T is that they could've put another 4-5 songs on any of the disks. Two of the three vault disks are under an hour, the other is just slightly over.

And "5 Women" is already out. Why re-add it here?

another version maybe ... or a live version

nah, that's repetitive and unnecessary. He released the song. It's out. Leaves room for other stuff.

Because the released version of 5 Women is inferior in many ways, that's a good reason i think.

The scats are still there in the released version under the horns

Am I the only one not interested in listening to this at all

You might be not the only one but come on we were waiting for a SDE release and now we have it, we still can't be satsified ! Personnaly, I like the whole set, don't listen to it much as we have so much material beside. So glad about the Glam Slam gig release, the outtakes that we used to have in not so good quality, the booklet... To sum up: I'm happy & will listen to it soon.

There's some good stuff going on in there, but I guess if you already disliked this era you will absolutely not like it 😂 IMO It's the same shit as when Prince was alive (loathe it upon release, listen for a few weeks, find the gems, move on)

Haha true. I'll prob go back to some of the old boot songs like Open Book, etc. but none of the new tracks really grabbed me like some of the 1999 SDE outtakes did. I do really like that alt version of Cream, though.

I find it very strange that none of the engineers was contacted for this SDE. There were 9 engineers used : Michael Koppelman Tom Garneau Keith KC Cohen Matt Larson Brian Poer Steve Noonan Tim Penn Ray Hahnfeld David Friedlander. These guys could tell us so much more about the recording processes. Or did I miss something here? Where they interviewed? - Same for the art department; 8 people were needed to create all the artwork. No information from them either. Jeff Gold Tom Recchion Greg Ross Stephanie Bennett (family from Roy?) Joel Larson Chris Mahne (hologram) Sharon McCormack (hologram) Peter Sarbo (hologram) - Missed opportunities? - And I didn’t know that Sheila E played on the song Diamonds And Pearls… [Edited 11/8/23 8:46am]

Not if you don’t care about the engineering, or the art

The engineering aspect is germane to fans because they spent time intimately with Prince in the studio during the albums construction.

Them holograms were futuristic tech back in the 90s. I care, but the Estate likely wouldn't want to call attention to the fact that they omitted the hologram from the SDE.

Nah, I'm with you. I thought "Blood On The Sheets" was kinda cool but none of the other lead-up singles grabbed me enough to bother listening to this set.

Warners couldn’t find the masters to reproduce the hologram, so not the estate’s fault.

I noticed that they had a huge projection of the hologram "animation" on the video screens at Paisley Park at the the Launch event... So someone has the master file it seems.

The compnay that did the hologram back then said they still have all the files so they could replicate it if needed.

lol that's great.

Estate: "Yeah, we uh, we-- we lost the masters! yeah, yeah. that's the ticket..."

Hologram company: "No worries bruh, we can rebuild it! We have the technology!"

Estate: ....................

Yeah, it's really a shame the estate didn't care about the hologram.

Profit margin, profit margin...
