OK, Im warming to this idea, but it smells awfully like a WU to me, particularly the "re-recorded live in the studio with sheila e and eric leeds" bit.

Weren't 'we can funk' and 'old friends for sale' given a proper release?

Therefore not 'outtakes' at all?

Anji - thanks very much for telling us your favourite tracks.

Agreed. Prince just said in his last 'cryptic' post that you couldn't re-create the feelings from a previous experience.

but i hope you know up front that people who come with fake tracklists aren't look upon very favorably biggrin



also, is the person you're getting this info from really someone on the inside? or is it just someone who's tricked you into thinking s/he's on the inside?

If its true he has listend to [eople in Auistralia ocmplain..so he's goin to give thema few shows..if its true. Now the other songs anj talked about look like songs fooks have cl;amored for for the last ten years and some of th e songs they voted for when asked "which outtake do u want to hear or see ona cd?" etc...and htis could all be seen as a way to asess his audiences' reaction to what songs he shoud put out etc..if this is true to. Its kinda fun doe thinkin of this lol

Those are again great songs. I do have my doubts about that the "minmal overdubs". Minimal isn't quite as minimal for Prince as it is for his fans. The most interesting is that re-recorded bit with Eric and Sheila. Now how does that fit in with the latest comment made by NPMGC? hmm

Anji's posts are complete BS...I really hope no one is taking them seriously. Where are the sources/leads? And whay would Prince release "Wonderful Ass" in all his JW glory? Plus there are inconsistencies (as someone else pointed out) about which songs will supposedly be released as "Prince" and the ones by "prince".

Let's make this simple...WAY too many people want this to happen, and it makes WAY too much sense for Prince to actually do it. I would say it's a safe bet it will never happen.

Sorry but this sounds wrong and Anji is not telling us where he is getting this from!

Wasn't Pink Cashmere released in 93 on The Hits and is therefore a "Prince" song? Same goes for Come and Space!

Come On is technically the NPG though I can let that slide.
'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything.

Here is someone who is gradually devastating his credibility and his
seemingly large fanbase on the .org - and probably having the laugh of his life!

lol

For one, Prince does not, I repeat, not record 'live' while in a studio session -
and that I say in the light of a final product. Of course he did N.E.W.S.
'in one day' and 'he gave us a key and we all just started playing', but that
gives him plenty of room to extend and crop his product - not to mention
the extensive technical issues involved in his production (the overdubbing of
guitar and synth, sound effects outside the final mix, cleaning up errors).
Do not ever think N.E.W.S. came out directly the way it is heard.

Second, it would mean a disregard to the composer's artistical integrity.
Prince's body of work is created in different settings, era's, emotions, locations
etcetera. Each composition has its own story, its own circumstances, and
the choices made make up for a lot of the final product. Completely lacking respect
and re-recording those images of distant times is artistically walking a
tightrope. Choosing to re-record those songs 'live' with the New Power Generation
would mean a fixed set of choices regarding the sonic progression of the material.
He would simply destroy his gems - think about '1999: the new master'.

And completely re-recording two first two discs, but sustaining the rare outtakes
- exactly what a fan wishes - is nonetheless inconsistent with the project's mission.
And please don't think that a band can deliver the same energetic performance without
the input of a live environement.

Finally I can say that the atmosphere in the project would completely loose Prince's
holy war against his past, his public's expectations and his very own much anticipated
artistic freedom.

Fin.

I do think I can put it quite politely here... biggrin

If this is true I'll show me arse outside Old Trafford at 12.00 on a Saturday.


Still, P.org used to be the best place to come for fake tracklistings. Nice to see someone's carrying it on.

Now I suggest we all ignore him and hope he goes away. We're only encouraging him!!

yes, but we know that Prince is a dumbass. the question remains whether or not Anji is.

it would not be unlike Prince do something in the opposite direction of what you've laid out above.

the man is deeply disturbed. we should know by now that anything is possible at any time, good or bad.

ill barf

Well, there went my expectations down the toilet

He just did a live-set (which I didn't bother with) and now we get "live in the studio"?

Wow.

I would like to have had the original outtake versions of songs like Come, Endorphinmachine, Days Of Wild And The Ride. Who needs even more re-recorded versions? Certainly not I. I won't be buying this.

Bummer.


And typical. sigh

But it explains this:


"Xcerpt from the 4thcoming:
"Modern technology has given us the means 2 produce an endless supply of nearly perfect copies of an original. But it cannot reproduce INSPIRATION — and neither can it produce perfect copies of the sensations u felt in ur body, mind and soul the last time u found urself in tune with a work of art that u were xperiencing. This is something u need 2 constantly work on, and u also need 2 learn 2 accept the fact that such sensations r never twice the same." -NPGMC 2003"

Apparently Prince is aware that the re-recorded versions are not on par with the originals. So why is he doing it, anyway?

For your money, I betcha.
