yeah, "i wonder" was the immediate standout for me as well, it's quite a 1-2 punch with "train" following immediately after

Ok! I have 'Dream Factory', 'Camille' and the Homemade Deluxe Bonus Disc from Sign O the Times up on my Dropbox. Those who were interested maybe send me a shout at 4lex4n✧✧✧.0str✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.✧0m and I'll forward you the public links.
The Homemade Deluxe of 1999 was mostly covered by what Tracer uploaded.

Wow I think "Train" is about to send me down a rabbithole of chasing Prince rarities. See you in a few years, thanks Alex.

Can't request until I get home later--so psyched! Thanks Alex
― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 18:35 (fourteen years ago)
Train is the best. Like, literally, actually, forever, the best.
The Mavis Staples version off of 'Time Waits for No One' is ok but it's nowhere near as great as Prince's which uses this train-on-a-track noise as the percussion line.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 18:38 (fourteen years ago)

Thanks Alex. Just saw that the dude at There Are No Kings just upped all his deluxe editions again as torrents, but in flac form. Alas, not only can I not successfully download the torrent links, but I don't want flac, but maybe someone else is interested ...
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:00 (fourteen years ago)
xpost i heard(?) that too o_O

Ooh! Good to know. I'm not a flac person but they're there.

Also, some folks were reporting issues with the SOTT - has anyone gotten that link to work proper?
worked for me
― hot slag (lukas), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:22 (fourteen years ago)
Your link or his? Because I can't get a torrent file for any but Dirty Mind. It just downloads ... gibberish. Code and shit.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:23 (fourteen years ago)
I got yours, though!
tried it three times now and the .zip file always opens up empty...?
