One of many artists I never gave a chance to. But i've been slowing making my way through his discography recently. Some of his more saccharine moments can grate a little, but when he gets really funky? Oooooh weeeeee that shit makes me wanna move.
I salute & envy you - if someone has 9 lps of b-sides rarities for a single album cycle with (almost) no filler its Prince
My real dream was for a Smile Sessions style reconstruction of Dream Factory and Crystal Ball, but this is about as close as we'll ever get, and I'm flipping shit excited for it.
Love Sign O The Times, so this is all very exciting. I'll edit to say that I Could Never... is a top level Prince song and I hope there's no less than 20 versions of it on this new set.
I THINK between this, the other expanded editions like Purple Rain, and Crystal Ball, I can make playlists for all the various trackslists of Camille and Dream Factory, etc. Which you bet your ass I will be.
Been listening to the vault disc on the Purple Rain remaster the last few days and it’s bizarre how good “We Can Fuck” is at both being epic and sweepingly romantic, and also fucking filthy.
