Versions of 1999

Which master (or remaster) is better: The 2011 vinyl remaster or the original or the 2019 remaster?

Weren't the right/left channels swapped on the OG CD?

Also "DSMR" being omitted off the first pressing and then added on a later pressing with then-contemporary 90s levels contrasting with 80s CD levels like the jarring levels when you play your 'Crystal Ball' Spotify playlists in seqquence makes it kind of hard to justify preferring the OG CD.

2019 sounds great to me!

As long as the song feels already, I wish there was a studio version with the "coda" that Prince included on a lot of the live performances. Like a futuristic, bombastic finale.
