i think it was either april or may ahdio from 2001, the woman with the awful Indian accent said, that prince was negotiating with a retailer to sell an album with 20 re-recorded hits plus 4 new trax.

was thier ever any further info on this.
..

He re recorded all of them. I got them in the trunk of my car. I gots me a fine car.

a shame it never materialized as i love the re recorded starfish and coffee and it would have been interesting to see how he re interpreted his old stuff.
.
.

They all sound better than the originals.

he didn't substitute non-naughty words for the naughty words, did he?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yup.

All motherfucker's have been replaced with "mickey-fickey"
All damn's have been replaced with the always wholesome Ned Flanders style "diddley"

But believe me it works. If you want a copies lemme know. I'll have to get it all out of the trunk of my car. I gots a fine car.

cborgman said:

damn! u shoulda done that last week BEFORE I sang that at karaoke. I coulda done the Prince approved version. Next time, I guess. Meanwhile, see if U can find the sanitized Nasty Girl!

cborgman said:

that takes care of the chorus...but what about that "i came on your wedding gown" shit?

"Prince: A Celebration", the double album of re-recorded 'hits',
was finished before Prince became so resolutely against
swearing on record. So most of the tracks were not censored
in any way. The album is not strictly a 'hits' collection, as it
contained quite a few fan-favorites that were never singles
(plus the 4 new tracks), it was conceived as more of a 'best of'.
Unfortunately the tracklisting is not known.

cborgman said:

i guess i'm just used to preachers
i think they got anointment on the brain...

I was only 16 but I guess that's no excuse
My sister was 32, and a respectful woman in her own right
She don't wear no underwear
And that's her choice as an equal human being
And she's got a funny way of stoppin' men from disrespecting her
My sister never made love to anyone else but whom she loved
She's the reason for my appreciation of women as human beings
She showed me where my education is supposed to go
A blow job isn't the be-all and end-all
Incest is everything one shouldn't be about
Oh, sister
You put me on the straight and narrow
Oh, sister
I just want to be your friend
I was only 16 and only half a man
My sister didn't give a fig about sex without love
She only wanted to turn me into a better man
She [took a vow to] make me shout
"Oh, [there's too much pain in this World]
Can't you understand?"
Oh, sister
You put me on the straight and narrow
Oh, sister
I just want to be your friend
I know what you want me to do
Put me on the straight and narrow and make me a better person
And make me respect all forms of life
Oh, sister, oohoohooow U should be muse 2 the Pharaoh

Haystack said:

I kinda like that one better then the original.

at Haystack's 'Sister'.

It would be wank, like. But still funny.

Cloudbuster said:

Look, just respond to my 'Jughead - a pictorial' thread in an amusing manner, please.

a blow-job isn't the be-all and end-all

cborgman said:

looking good! and what about the

"is that it? wake me when u're done..." et. al. ???

BorisFishpaw said:

But... I read recently - was it in Possessed? - that it was only an idea that came up in an interview, but Prince never really got around to re-recording any tracks before losing interest in the idea.

Which I thought was good, because, well... We've all heard "1999 - The New Master", right?

So are you sure he actually did do such a collection? I mean, have you heard any re-recorded songs yourself (besides "1999 - The Dreadful Master")?

Because Prince also announced other albums at the same time, where fans could vote for which kinda album they'd like to get from him next - a collection of ballads, a smooth jazzy album, a rock album... And the re-recorded hits album.

That don't mean any of them were done at the time of the voting. It was probably just him gauging where to go next. I mean, he DID go kinda jazzy after that, didn't he?
