Let's Go Crazy Isolated tracks

https://youtu.be/HnBlUpdN...syDhtU9z7Z

I'm sure a lot of people have done this on their own - isolating the tracks and boosting the volume. I haven't, and was pretty surprised just how much was buried in the mix. His groans after every line of the lyrics are pretty funny.

I feel quite strongly that this is the kind of thing the estate should be doing on the official YouTube channel. Preferably with a couple of band members and whichever engineer was present for the recording. People are getting older, and won't be available forever. It should all be thoroughly documented. They're supposed to be managing the legacy right?

Not at all, just the standard pessimistic optimist.

I knew about these isolated tracks for a couple of years, but avoided them in fear of that
"can't unhear it" plague.
Every time I listen to it, there is always something new that i pick up, even after 40 years!

Now, i finally broke down and clicked the link only to witness a bunch of dorks on the couch
with silly soundbites and 'oohs n aahs'.

I'll never unhear that, thanks.

So at one point, I think, Wendy is heard laughing... has anyone been able to hear it in the released mix?

it's fun to listen to isolated tracks biggrin but it's also kinda weird (and sometimes scary) to hear the vocals this way...totally stripped down without the music,bells and whistles of the finished recording.

That was AMAZING. This track was recorded so against common practice. No one takes a live track and records over it for an official release. Only Prince. And Wendy or Lisa laughing at his insane growl!

And the Devil Voice????!!!!!

I don't think they are, they are just one of us expressing our discontent while sharing what we want to see, no?
