GREAT LIST

what no 1999?, or AUTOMATIC? or IWBYL?. Still a great list though

don't like Dirty Mind (the song) that much

I'd buy this!

How about Soft and Wet, his first Funk jam?

Love this tracklist!

I was inspired...




If anybody wants hi-res copies, I've zipped the images.

WTF is that!

I made it! Don't you like it?

BinaryJustin said:

Like it, I fucking love it!

It looks just like a real WB product!

CAMILLE4U said:

Yeah I know! Glad you like it - it took me ages. If you download the zip files the images will print out at the right size for cutting out and popping into a CD case.

If anybody's making compilations - I suggest you make copies of your music files and equalise the volume of each track to around 90dB using MP3 Gain. You can download MP3 Gain from here: http://www.geocities.com/mp3gain/

This really is one kick-ass compilation!

BinaryJustin...did u made that great cover after reading my list or did u already have my ideas?? ))

ops...just noticed that u put dirty mind instead of do it all night!

Marco81 said:

I made it after I read your list.

I used "Dirty Mind" instead of "Do It All Night" though - Sorry!

Ian, take that shit off the thread, Warners could sue ya!!

Its only an artist's impression! I don't think that anybody would think that its meant to be real. I've said that I made it - I just thought other people might like it, that's all.

I haven't duplicated any existing layout or tracklist.

There's no law against anybody making compilations for their own personal use if they already own the original records.

anyway I think there are different kinds of funk Prince has played...I mean...these trax we've just listed represent the early years...
I think the other kinds of funk can be considered songs from the 1987/88 period...4 example the whole black album,or housequake,or shockadelica...but very different from the controversy/uptown/erotic city etc. kind of stuff.
Maybe the third kind of different funk are the 90s gems such as Days Of Wild,Gett Off,Come On,18&over,trax from the Exodus cd,or even Prettyman...
what u think?

Well... You covered six years from 1979 to 1984. I guess a Volume 2 would cover 1985 to 1990...

BinaryJustin said:

Scratch that - I forgot La, La, La, He, He, Hee and Shockadelica.

I guess Volume 2 would be from 1985 to 1988!

I found the main typeface on the net someplace - it was actually called DMSR... The WB symbol is from a ding set of corporate logos... The smaller font is just good old Arial. I got the Warner Comms. symbol from the Warner Music Group site and fiddled around with it.

I wanted it to look a little "dated" so that it really did look like it could have been made in 1984.
