promotional copy.
looks mint!

Don't know it...what's on there?

a greatest hits album was planned for release in 1992, it appears that americans were asked to poll their favourite prince songs on a radio station via warner bros.
the album never saw the light of day due to the release of the symbol album the same year.Its a promotional copy with 16 tracks on it and is an official warner brothers album.

What's the tracklist?

1999
little red corvette
when doves cry
purple rain
rasberry beret
kiss
anotherlover...
sign o the times
i could never take the place...
alphabet street
batdance
partyman
gett off
diamonds & pearls
money don't matter 2nite
theives in the temple

the crown jewels , was a promotional tool the same as the earlier ones on cassette, greatest hits packages to promote p's albums and tours,ive got all 4 they r as follows;

the story so far , hits package on cassette official W/B
sounds o the time, hits package on cassette official W/B
prince nothing compares 2 him,hits,cassette official W/B
the crown jewels, hit package on cd official W/B

i havent got the tracklists/dates, as they r packed away in a box at present.but i will dig em out they are really rare and collectable ! so well done ! 15, 4 TCJ is good. mine cost £40.00 at the time and that was a good price then , as it was going 4 £65.00 probably a lot cheaper now !

TCJ cd has an unreleased remix of batdamce on it !

i'm sure some1 will get the tracklists b4 me u know what the org is like !!!

also there is at least 1 other W/B promo hits cd 2 actually promote the hits. its 1 disc with tracks from hits 1 and hits 2 , i havent got this 1 ! there may b others but i dont think so. please note all the above are totally genuine 100% official w/b promo's.

A got a couple of copies of this from the London NPG store in the sale. £5 each.

£15?
or
$15?
Either way I think you got a bargain.

I already have all of these tracks on their respective albums.

It's only a edit version of a released remix. NO NEW MATERIAL.

The full version remix can be easily found on a oficial CD single.

u r right, but the edit version on tcj is still an xclusive unreleased edit/version yeah ?

Mine was $65, so you done good.

danielboon said:

Now you say it right, it's a unreleased edit version NOT A UNREALESED REMIX like you said before, IT'S VERY DIFERENT.

I also can do this kind of "unreleased" versions.
