Digital Release: 🖤 Or $ (Ext) / Hello (Ext Vers)

Last year I noticed these online, figured it's old news. Plus most of us have vinyl rips already.. anywho


There have been a few B sides that have yet to appear digitally, or so I thought. Love or Money (Ext Version) & Hello (Fresh Dance Mix) are available in lossless for purchase on Qobuz.com. But there is a catch. It depends what country you live in.
*these are Not Available in the USA*

Here are the japan links. They are available in select countries only

Kiss / Love or Money digital 45
https://www.qobuz.com/jp-...3497972937

Kiss / Love or money 12inch single
https://www.qobuz.com/jp-...3497990412

Raspberry Beret (ext vers) / Hello (12 Ext remix) aka fresh dance mix
https://www.qobuz.com/jp-...3497990405


The digital release dates say 2007, npg/ Warner bros.
added info : found this https://prince.org/msg/7/314358 apparently some of these were released in 2007, but in low lossy quality

Now as for the sorce, are they vinyl rips or straight from masters? I don't know.
I remember reading here in the past the Love or Money (single vers) was a vinyl rip.

More usless info

Raspberry Beret Digital 12
Raspberry Beret (Extended 12" Version) 6:40
Hello (12" Extended Remix) 6:19

Kiss Digital 12"
Love Or Money (Extended 12" Single Version) 6:55

Love or Money sounds like a vinyl rip, also has 5 seconds of silence at the end

Hello sounds pretty good. I'm not expert, but it does not sound like a vinyl rip

Now Raspberry Beret the digital release does not sound the same as the version found on the "His Majesty's Pop Life / The Purple Mix Club" CD

Digital version - 6:40 Sounds a bit low
His Majesty's CD - 6:33 Sounds better to my ears

I didn't compare it to the 6:34 version found on Ultimate Cd, as I recall that version plays a bit loud

iTunes had a digital release of "Love or Money" a couple years back. Not lossless but it didn't seem to be a vinyl rip.

The lossless copy i have is hard to tell, it doesn't great. I'm sure there might be some one on the org who knows better than me.
I still have an mp3 copy I purchased of the single version years ago and I fell it sounds a bit louder. And feel its not sourced from vinyle
