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.

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
― til the sound of my voice will haint u (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:01 (fourteen years ago)
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...?
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:42 (fourteen years ago)
Ok. So I'll try to recompress and reupload my Sign of the Times.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:57 (fourteen years ago)
I wonder, is Alex in Manhattan still takin' requests? Sent him an email last nite...A#L^E*X#A@N!D*E(R DOT (alex's last name) @gmail.com

Holy crow, SOTT Outtakes is fuckin' SICK.

Prince takes a lot of baths

god DAMN, this version of "Crystal Ball!" If I die this week, bury me with it.
― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 16:48 (fourteen years ago)
listening to the Dream Factory version - this is way better than the one that showed up on the offical 3-CD Crystal Ball release wow
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:08 (fourteen years ago)
i'm just getting to the perfect prince thing now - yowza! really great throughout.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:11 (fourteen years ago)
xpost just to be clear i was listening to the SOTT Ridiculous Deluxe version of 'crystal ball', haven't gotten to the Dream Factory one yet.
― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:12 (fourteen years ago)
I can't get the Ridiculous Deluxe zip file to work for some reason :(
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:13 (fourteen years ago)
I lent the CD-R I burned of TDF years ago and never got it back but am so happy to have these and sounding so good. "Teacher Teacher" no longer sounds like a circus heard from several city blocks away.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:15 (fourteen years ago)
Wait so.... the SOTT outtakes ARE working for some people?
I don't understand what's going on.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:42 (fourteen years ago)
Oh man, now I'm really wishin' Alex got my email...
― Iago Galdston, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:42 (fourteen years ago)
for those who managed to get the SOTT to work - can you try to help / guide / upload that stuff for those who haven't gotten it to work, since whatever I did to SOTT doesn't seem to be working.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:44 (fourteen years ago)
I did. I just replied.
Sorry for the delay.
we're talking about SOTT Ridiculously Deluxe Edition, right?
i'm uploading to my dropbox now, email lukasb AT g mail
― hot slag (lukas), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:50 (fourteen years ago)
are we talking about alex's dropbox version of the SOTT RD edition? cuz that downloaded and unzipped just fine for me. has 18 tracks of SOTT addenda.
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:54 (fourteen years ago)
yeah I can't get it to work. the archive opens up empty. is it just me?
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:55 (fourteen years ago)
just e-mailed lukas, maybe his link will work
i know that my xpost wasn't very helpful, but it did at least work. all i did to download it was click. can upload if lukas' version doesn't work, but i assume it will.
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:57 (fourteen years ago)
I unzipped it successfully with Archive Utility on Mac. Dunno if there is any kind of platform thing going on?
