There are B-sides, full, alternative and extended versions and mixes not included in the list - all officially released.

There are plenty of songs given to associated artists (and others) that you've excluded, despite including others.

It also seems an arbitrary choice, calling it an 'official' list and including some unofficial material where the reasons for inclusion are not clear.

First it all depends on what you're collecting:

- just the music (which again leaves different interpretations like langebleu correctly mentioned)
- cover art that differs
- one country of origin vs. all of them
- the type of release (common, promo, test, unreleased...)
- more than music (memorabilia)

etc etc etc

Apart from that - there simply is no "complete" collection in real life. That's what it's all about. There's always more out there you'd like to get your hands on.

As far as I know, Love4OneAnother was never officially released - it's a TV special. You might as well include the VH1 Emancipation concert, and any and all TV spots that Prince has appeared in. You need to be more specific on how you define "official". If it was never released for sale, like the TV specials, why not include all promo discs too?
All orgnotes and emails requesting trades or how to acquire bootleggage will be ignored. - The ThreadKiller -

Hmmm... so that would include at least one rendition of every

- original version, mix and live rendition by Prince himself
- anything he played on, produced, mixed
- anything he wrote but only some other artist released (again original, mix & live)
- all TV appearances

If that's the definition you're talking about you're collection would miss loads of singles and TV appearances, not to mention hundreds of bootlegs. Just as I said - it's a long way to go... and it never ends. wink

I need 2 get my hands on some of this collection. Still working on it getting them bit by bit.

I also want 2 find the artist out there who does those beautiful full faces of Prince on t shirts.
I recall some members wearing them at the 2002 celebration. Apparently from what I've heard, Prince met the artist and instead of confronting him saying anything about not being authorized, he gave the artist some serious props. That right there is somethin special.
It could have been ugly.

Many official npgmc members and org members have connections all over the place and I rely heavily on u because of it. I appreciate ur knowledge and thank u ahead of time.

Hope 2 hear back from u soon.
