dirty mind poster would have been more appropriate but i'll let it go

morning noon and night

i had the poster from purple rain taped to my bedroom closet doors, with a split right down the middle, where the doors opened and shut

Downloading those Unreleased comps right now, but Holy Shit at the existence of "Manic Monday!"

sadly, it's a watery recording... still wanna hear a nice crisp prince manic monday recording before i die.

god yes

and a good recording of his demo of G-Spot

linked on the RIP thread, but this is his final public performance.

also a great hilton als piece from Harper's about Prince and sex

The "Manic Monday" demo, though hardly perfect, sounds cleaner than i'd expected. Who's singing it with him? It sounds like Vanity, but I'm guessing not.

It's Brenda Bennett. Same as the Bangles version.

I love how, in her review of Purple Rain, Pauline Kael wrote "He's a cutie when he dances."

man "Visions" is so good, such pretty understated playing

These two unreleased comps are really blowing my mind

Wonderful Ass is all time great

Train is also just ridic

No lie-- after I charged it my iPod shuffle mysteriously deleted every song on it except for 1: Joy in Repetition. I listened to it all day yesterday bc it was the only song on there and I think it might actually be a year long now.

That is amazing

I unplugged it a few days ago and finally listened to it yesterday on my walk to the train. It was a super cool coincidence when that was the first song that popped up, and then when it played twice I thought I had a weird setting wrong (and I was thinking it was still a pleasant coincidence but maybe one I didn't want to let persist for the rest of the day). But I pressed all of the buttons (2) multiple times and turned it off/on many times and it was the only song that came out of that thing all day. What a guitar solo! Dang.

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand),

And 'I Wonder' is, while not quite 'Kiss', almost at that level

"Emale" from Emancipation is dope. I like his cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Betcha By Golly Wow" on there too.

Come underrated as well.

Gold Experience is uneven but "Gold" is a helluva pop tune.

Love this Prince-sung version of "Dance Electric:" https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=aa84c4b3a0b419f0&id=AA84C4B3A0B419F0!670&Bsrc=Share&Bpub=SDX.SkyDrive&authkey=!AkMHXfqSwGpxnB8

Was thinking today how Prince really only flirted a little with rap, but boy did he dig into New Jack Swing.

i could use some moonbeam levels right now

just now i listened to Partyman and Gett Off back to back and fuck's sake, they are just monumental. the hard lock of the beats, New Jack Swing with the toughness of the guitars in there too. ffffffuuuuuuck.

it is weird how his dying has completely opened up all these songs for me again.

Gett Off is unbelievably great

It's so dense with information that I don't even ever feel compelled to listen to the long version. It gets (getts) the job done.

what is Princes nw album called. thankyou

why, because it look interesting?

prince didnt really do anything approximating new jack swing until acknowledge me around 92/93 or so or love sign. partyman is def not NJS. the drums are too rhythmically straight for that.

OK I admit I'm not a connoisseur. Maybe I should have said that the things I like about it sound a lot like the things I like about NJS. The utter lockedness of the beats, the remorselessness, the interplay between synthetic and live.

Art Official Age (2014) is a p good album

tracer this comp is fucking beautiful, thanks so much for reposting <3

:D

thanks for posting those too :)

Violet the Organ Grinder is the definitive version of Gett Off for me.

^ ewwww, wait a minute i think you better trip on this (apologies for the bad mix, amazed it's even on the web at all tbh)

"I'll die but I won't go away"

Tru-dat.

Thanks to tracer for uploading those comps. For those of us champing at the bit, could Alex or anyone do the same for those deluxe versions mentioned upthread? I missed the boat and am in full-fledged "listen-to-everything-before-I-collapse" mode.

The sign o the times one has been uploaded to the 'son of readers links' page on w1ll@rds w0rmh0les within the last couple days

The Prince links on that site have been getting shot down fast though
