so... the only different track that we're getting this time around is "Money

Don't Matter 2 Night"

any hidden trax?

what about the new trax that were supposed 2 b released by Prince 4 this
disc?

Oh well...

[neo2000inc100]

I thought they would put some Unreleased tracks on it , guess not :-(
The new bootlegs coming out seem more interesting then this very best of
package.They need to reissue prince's catalog , looks like a waste
of $20.00 dollars.

this one isn't being released by Prince, matter of fact, this is the one he
was warning people not to buy it as he has nothing to do with it in anyway.
He is suppose to be "Re-doing" a greatest hits package as in actually
re-doing the songs from scratch, which means with his new found ways of
thinking, expect altered and censored lyrics, and this is the set/disc that
is suppose to contain I think he said 4 new/unheard tracks.

what a shame. The chronological order thing makes for a bad flow, the cd
just comes to an abrupt end with money and purple rain.. if its the full or

I think Delirious should be on there instead of Money Don't Matter. At least
the disc would end with D&P. Why put 4 Purple Rain tracks on, now people will
buy this in lieu of Purple Rain.

[Delirium]

Why bother with releases like this? I won't buy the Prince release version
either, cuz I simply refuse 2 listen to edited versions of song I like. He
simply fucks up every time he touches a classic song (The Cross, Starfish &
Coffee, 1999). The Slaughterhouse would be a great title for this so called
greatest Hits.

This is rather stupid. Why bother? They don't even include the hits from
AFTER the last hits package - TMBGITW and Eye Hate U. Granted, there weren't
many hits afterwards, but these two qualify for sure!

In article <tjlfdjp...@corp.supernews.com>, "Prince Fan"

[Aerogram]

TMBGITW was not a Warner release. Eye Hate U performed poorly for a lead
single, which was very disappointing considering the quality of Gold (it
should not have been the lead single).

Old stuff.

Gold is my favourite prince tune of all time. The guitar solo gives me
chills every time i hear it. Even 6 years later. Same with the Dolphin solo
actually. I just adored his guitar work on that album. Probably why TGE is
my favourite prince album of all time too.And to think,he could have made it
an even better album! Wow.

Areogram:

Get the facts straight!

TMBGITW was released on The Gold Experience, which is an NPG/Warner release.
It wasn't released as a single by Warner, but they promoted tGE as having the
single on it.

Eye Hate U peaked at #12 on the Hot 100 and #3 on the R&B singles chart. This
is a bigger 'hit' than Money Don't Matter, or many other Prince songs that are
considered hits.

Eric

In article <TTD_6.361956$eK2.73...@news4.rdc1.on.home.com>, "Aerogram"

[Aerogram]

Hmmm for me, the "single" was independent, but it's true it was also on
Gold. The song had been off the charts for months before it was released by
Warner, who did not issue it as a single. So it is not a WB single..

As for Eye Hate U, I know it was a bigger hit than Money don't matter 2
night, but it was the lead single of Gold, not the fourth (?) single of a
hit album. It may have been a hit, but I remember how fans were disappointed
by its performance and the fact it was the lead single. It certainly did
not give Gold the exposure it truly needed. So all things are relative.

Now... just a thought... but can we say that WB was not very enthusiastic
about these two singles? That in fact, Prince had to put pressure to release
them as singles? I know the story behind TMBITW, but I'm not sure about Eye
Hate U.

[Maleko]

First of all, understand that I am Caucasian/white (not that it matters, but
I don't want anybody to be pissed.) and have been a Prince fan since '1999'
(first time it was released in 1982.)

Second, with old 80's group either making a comeback or their labels
re-releasing their old material, this 'Best of ...' bullshit is strictly an
attempt to cash in on the current nostalgia phase that most Gen-X'ers are
going through right now.

Also, this album is so 'White' oriented that it's not funny. I mean, 4 songs
from Purple Rain? I can ask any person I know and they'll say 'Purple Rain
was so cool! But I don't care for anything else he did except maybe 'Kiss'
or 'U Got The Look'.

If I were Prince I swear, I would spend a lot of time and money fighting WB
in court and in stores.(and any other means possible.) And 'Money Don't
Matter 2 Night' that's got to be on there as some kind of inside joke @ WB!

Lastly, I didn't forget about 'I Wanna Be Your Lover'. I know that's got to
be on there to help generate some buyer's curiosity about it and his earlier
work before '1999' and hopefully cause some people to buy the earlier CDs'

Peace!

>Another question : did Prince sign his 100 million dollar contract right
>after D&P? If yes, could it play a role here?

Exactly.. everything released after 'Diamonds And Pearls" was part of the
contract.. that's probably why there's nothing after it. WB would probably have
to pay Prince more to use songs like "7" and "TMBGITW"..

Christ.. this really is a piss poor greatest hits collection.. seems like it's
destined to sit next to the "Golden Hits of Cameo" CD in the cutout bin at
Wal-Mart..

[Ernest/Fuzzy Bob - The Big Gay HOMO]

Eric's right. However, I think the disguishing factor might be that the
track is actually different. The instrumentation is mixed slightly
differently on Gold. Not a lot, but I can hear it. It's incredibly subtle.
Plus the ending is different. That might be the difference between the two.
Prince released one version independently, and the other for WB. Just a
thought.

I'll probably buy the package for the sake of collection. But I'll be
pissed if Prince redoes great songs like Adore, Starfish, or whatever. ANd
fucks it up w/ Kirk's bullshit drums. I mean he rerecorded 1999, but still
used a lot of the original instrumental tracks on that terrible remake.

With the WB release, it IS about money. Prince's contract is over. WHy
bother? cuz he sells. But I don't think the general public gives a shit
much anymore. Although the one disk set of hits, might be a better buy than
the $50 The Hits set for general listeners. I mean most people that "just
love When Doves Cry" could give two shits about 17 Days, or She's Always In
My Hair, much less a whole disk of B sides (except Erotic City perhaps.)
I'll be interested to see what Prince picks to put on his disk. Should it
ever see the light of day. Hopefully the WB won't recycle old artwork for
the package like they did for "The Vault" (not far from Chaos and Disorders
disk art work.)

please people its a "Greatest Hits" ("Best of" title not withstanding)
package....it's not meant for us........!

The listing is fine, although if I didnt own not even one Prince album I would
be bummed that "7" and "TMBGITW" are not on it......Wierd to include
"Money...." ...

This propably will replace the bloated "HITS/BSIDES"....which most newbies find
intimidating to buy.....but was great for fans.....

Money Don't Matter Tonight was a hit in australia. Maybe it's based on

Get your facts STRAIGHT, Ernie. The Vault and Chaos and Disorder were not

Huh? It's OBVIOUS that this is a different mix. Matter of fact, IIRC
it's the version he did at that (otherwise horrible) 1994 award show
in Monaco (World Music Awards or something like that).

>With the WB release, it IS about money.

They ain't stupid. They know Prince is gonna do his endless GH tour
and since he ain't cashing in on it, they sure as hell are gonna.
(Plus this new release will sell a bit anyway amongst collectors.)
This one-hit set is easier than having two seperate discs on offer.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the alleged rule that "WB can't release
anything within 3 months of Prince releasing an album" also applies
the other way around, BTW.

>Prince's contract is over.

That's not entirely true. There are things, clauses that still rule
his post-WB years. I'm pretty sure that for instance he wasn't allowed
to release re-recorded versions of his WB-era songs for a certain
time, this is more or less a standard clause of contracts these days
(after plenty of performers switched labels in previous decades and
then released GH sets with re-recorded versions).

>Hopefully the WB won't recycle old artwork for

Dude, how stupid are you? That artwork was given to them by PRINCE.
How many fucking times do I have to repeat that?

Considering that TGE is now "deleted", and that no songs from that
album are on the GH, I wonder: could it be that Prince did a special
deal with them for this album which prevents them from re-printing it
after a certain amount of time or that NPG Records need to give their
permission if WB want to do anything with the album? I don't recall
reading anything in Uptown about it, it's just that the fact that NPG
Records is mentioned as one of the labels is kinda strange...

And couldn't it be that Exodus isn't re-released by Prince because of
this? After all WB were gonna release it in the US until Prince
decided to piss them off again in an interview... Now, if Exodus was
also a joint NPG/WB release, and WB isn't allowing Prince...

Why would they even bother including these songs? Prince ain't playing
them -- i.e. promoting them -- and TGE seems to be tied up in some
contractual crap, hence it not being available anymore (which not only
would make including a song of it pointless since it wouldn't help
sell the album, and any song from TGE is probably tied up in the same
contractual thingy).

I guess it depended on what region you lived in when it was released.. I lived
in Dallas when 'I Hate U' came out, and it was played on all the major R&B and
Top 40 radio stations at least once an hour for a good 3 months.. hell, I even
remember several occasions where it was playing at the same time on different
stations..

Now, you'd be hard pressed to catch even "Little Red Corvette" on the lame

Bart doesn't want to relinquish his Princefagg award. One word about Prince
to Bart and ripopgodazippa!!!

[NivlekBrad]

Why should Prince bother to sue WB when he would loose. He should just go
ahead and let them release some of the greatest hits and boxed sets that they
want. As a matter of fact, if they have some early concerts, they should
release those also. Eventually, Prince will get the masters back and can
reissue them in a way he sees fit. Besides, Prince will make money off of these
compilations (regardless of what some might think). The only difference is
that WB will make 75% of the profit and Prince will receive 10%. We know the
other 15% will go to "distributors."

Now....go ahead and trash me.

[NivlekBrad]

Warner does own the version of "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" that is
on The Gold Experience. They could include that version. Though it is not the
version that people were accustomed to listening to on the radio in 1994.

[Dennis Versteeg]

the only thing I'm puzzled by is the inclusion of Money Don't Matter
2Night. Songs like 7, My Name Is Prince, Eye Hate U would have seem
better choices.
4 songs from Purple Rain i can understand, since all those songs were
huge hits, but 4 from D&P is a bit too much I think.

lol i hadn't put that together.. several ways to take it though, my vote is
since WB helped P make the money he did, it must not matter anymore 'cause he
left. o well... face down

Batdance is probably not included because it uses samples from the movie.
Since the Batman movies has a lot of people to get paid (WB movies and DC
Comics to name a few), I'm sure WB just said 4get about it.

good point , especially since it wasn't on the hits/b-sides discs. i suppose
something to do with the movie rights or some bs

and come to think of it erotic city should be there too, while not an a-side
single certainly one i think nearly everyone knows from 80's

No-Prince has never had a single disc best of with all his biggest hits on it.
Remember how many folks bought the beatles One?

Same scenario sort of. there's a large segment of the Wal-mart shopping
populace that aint interested in songs they havent heard on the radio. They
might like alphabet street, but they aint buying Lovesexy. and the hits 1 and
2 had too many non-radio songs on 'em for the casual wal-mart shopper.

Those four songs from Purple Rain were all top ten hits. That's looks to be
the criteria for this set-strictly top tens-although its suprising pop life
aint on it.

or is it?

Prince gave them permission to release 2 compilation cd's of his work when they
saw fit to get out of his warners contract.

It also was a top ten hit.

That single didnt come out on warner brothers-it was released on NPG/Belmark.
a different version of the song appeared on Gold-which was released on
NPG/Warner Brothers.

I believe Warner's deal to release that one has slipped away, since its been
out of print for 2 years.

same reason no Batman tracks were on the Hits/Bsides: publishing
rights, I believe because of all the vocal samples.

Mine's backed up by facts. Like the one that in late 1995 Prince
proposed to WB that he'd give them 3 "Vault" discs to fulfill the
contract. If the contract had fallen through, why would he've done
that? Yes, parts of the contract didn't happen in the end, but the
basis of the contract -- that Prince was tied to WB and owed them x
amount of records -- still was in place.

A lot of it was renegociated along the way, particularly at the start
of 1994 when PPR was closed down (and the other non-album stuff from
the deal was largely ditched, like the publishing firm and the second
record label and the VP thingy...). But it didn't "fall through".

You must be right, because I can't see a contract of that magnitude falling
through altogether. And how long did Prince write Slave on his face? He was
subjected to terms and conditions.

Hey Princefuck, do you not see where it says "not far from Chaos and

[Ernest/Fuzzy Bob - The Big Gay HOMO]

Remember that "Partyman" was on the Peach 2 Disk supplementary set after The
Hits came out. They also had Money Don't Matter 2Nite, Mountains, My Name
Is Prince, I Wish U Heaven. Not sure why some of those weren't on the Hits,
but maybe because there just wasn't enough space. Who knows.

They released 2 CD singles of Peach. One in normal plastic cover and one in a
cardboard folout booklet. The second one holds space to put the 2 discs in.
Leaving you with a useless cover from the first one and 2 same versions of Peach
and 6 other songs you already have. I believe they were released shortly after
one another, which makes the 'previously unreleased' addition to Peach not
correct.

I got the original NPG single from NewFunk-and the beat is fairly
straightforward through the entire song and then it fades.

The Gold version has more Michael Bland and the song gets all dramatic at the
end.

a total waste of a release. This release clearly shows that PRINCE does owe
Warner more for his contract. This release looks like a simple way to cash in

Okay, so that's debatable. To me, "disc artwork" can also refer to the
entire artwork. If you want to talk about the CD label, use that word.

But you didn't of course include the most important bit in your reply:
that the ENTIRE artwork package was Prince's concept. WB didn't do a
thing to it.

And to Bart, yes well to you everything is different. Most normal people

can see where you get LABEL, INSERT, JACKET, or INLAY from that. Moron.
