If you could make one KEY change to a Prince album.......

...what would it be???

I would:

1) Rerecord "Dirty Mind" without Prince's falsetto vocals.
I would use his regular voice instead.

2) Change "Crucial" for "Slow Love" on "SOTT".

3) Rerelease the original "Camille" LP in the proper
song sequence.

4) Add "Father's Song" (extended) to "Purple Rain".

5) Replace "We March" with "Days of Wild" on "TGE".

There'd be a recall on "1999 the New Master"

You could turn in your copy for a disc of "1999" outtakes instead.

Please allow 6-8 years for delivery.

Crystal Ball wouldn't have had any remixes - only new songs.
Except for Get Loose none of the remixes did much for me.

I'd add Lisa's version of A Place in Heaven and All my Dreams to Parade.

And I would also add Days of Wild to TGE and take off and get rid of We March.

And I would recall 1999 the New Master and New Power Soul before anyone else had to pay money for either.

1) get darth vader off TRc and back into space...
Actually - get all those segues à la vanessa bartol... out of there.

2) Instead of releasing the Emancipation-disastrology after getting away from warner, release the one disc version of it.

3) Instead of releasing Chrystall ball in its actual shape; start a series of one-,or double discs with unreleased material, starting from prince-year one. Instead of sparse info; a full colour booklet with background info and pics.

4) Do the same with the (unedited) live recordings. Co-op with sabotage? Instead of putting out an edited ONA.

5) Release more singles WITH b-sides instead of the old-boring-dub-house-groove-funky-trendy-crap-remix with additional rapping and cheap housesynths. And make them available as they our a scarse find these days.

6) Cut "orgasm" from "come": it's not shocking and kills off an album that is not a masterpiece to begin with.

7) get Susan Rogers back; Prince may have loads of talents but not all of them.

8) Cut Tony M from all albums, preventing them to sound out of date and fans from developing an ulcer.

Push the vocals upfront in Crucial like in the outtake version, no echo effect and not fade it out during the guitar solo.

Put the vocal version of Get Loose on Crystal Ball.

Sequence each track on Crystal Ball so they DON'T segue into each other.

Put Xenophobia on Xpectation.

Release Empty Room from the Celebration on the C-Note CD.

Add way more outtakes on The Vault CD.

Add I AM THE DJ on Emancipation.

Add the studio version of GET LOOSE, HIDE THE BONE, NPG version of ACKNOWLEDGE ME(Prince on vocals) and DAYS OF WILD to The Gold Experience.

Exchanged the version of Sometimes It Snows In April that appears in Under The Cherry Moon to the one on the Parade album.

Made Purple Rain a double album set with all outtakes included and full versions.

the extended version of "Vicki Waiting" would be on the Batman soundtrack.

Hearing Prince wailing guitar on a Cloud during that casino scene always seemed like torture without being able to hear it on a stereo.

I'd make sure all versions of songs on any Prince albums were either extended versions, or original unedited versions...

for me its just because i enjoy the music so much and the lyrics tell the story without the need for him to break it down like a hollywood ending.

No one single change. Many.

I'd brainwash him into thinking he DID have something to prove the moment he thought he didn't. That would take care of a lot of things from the get-go.

Replace the Prince-Clinton "We Can Funk" on Graffiti Bridge with the original outtake.
