Is it me or does 'Housequake' sounds pitched down?

Are you sure you're not expecting Prince to naturally sing with the Camille voice?

This really is a very enjoyable rehearsal! Some nice gems are being played.

I have found 3 different copies and now I am wondering which one is the correct, complete or best one? I have not compared all songs but for example:

Disc I - Slow Love:
Version #1 15:53 (with 12 sec intro)
Version #2 15:25 (with 12 sec intro) - seems like a bit faster version

Version #3 15:09 (without intro) - this is marked as the Foefur remix but less complete?

For the people behind the private servers or bootlegs , please contact people like Foefur to fix tape, dropout of pitch speed problems. New releases or drops nearly all have issues. Just a thought.

Foefur has already struck!

It's available on the most obvious platform,
full "Slow Love" included.

Nope. It's the rhythm that sounds slowed down. to me.

it's played faster, especially live after Play In The Sunshine.

I somehow remember from other rehearsals where is was played faster.

Im no expert though...

I think Foefur shifted the trakcmarker and the “missing piece” is in the song before / after and not missing in the whole part.
The speed part next to the pitch can also affect the length

I haven’t been able to track down the pitch corrected version, but even the slightly slower version is astounding. Hearing Crystal Ball played live is an absolute treat. I love the idea of Sheila’s drum solo moment being on this song vs. Now’s The Time. Only the baddest band could pull off a beast like CB and do it justice, and they nailed it.

U Got The Look is probably the best arrangement I’ve heard of it. And the long version Slow Love is one of the best Prince rehearsal moments ever captured on tape. They clearly had a blast playing together. The GCS songs on disc 2 are ridiculously funky. I only wish Tell Me What It Is was longer. Nasty track.

Hearing some of these rare songs played live, it’s hard not to imagine what a Crystal Ball tour might have sounded like, will all of the songs from that album played in order. Even if he didn’t have the nerve to tour it, he could have filmed it, creating a loose storyline connecting the songs. What a masterpiece it could have been.

Thank you to whom ever freed this. Unbelievable listing.
