Excited about this, think itā€™s coming with a couple of live DVDs as well?

I was equally doubtful! I own the LP and all the singles on 7" and 12" but that third disc! A studio version of ā€˜Electric Intercourseā€™! Nice one.

OH SHIT. Where did you read this?

#5

Fatherā€™s Song!

I hope itā€™s the nice piano version from the film.

Just checked out the Variety article thatā€™s a source for the Stereogum article.

Please, please, please let the 7th Avenue show that ā€˜Purple Rainā€™ was recorded at be the other show.

A rare genuinely exciting re-issue. I hope they go on to do similar things with other peak period albums.

This is a no-hesitation insta-buy. Iā€™m going to presume (perhaps foolishly) that this is also the remastered version weā€™ve been promised for years, to boot. But those two new discs are full of pure gold and thrilling intruigue.

Are you a Prince collector or is this just one of your fav albums?

#10

Both! Have loved ā€˜Purple Rainā€™ for years and started picking up the singles on the cheap a few years back. Ended up continuing on and buying loads more of his singles and I have about 40/50 Prince records now.

It does indeed look good. However, CD format. Will people actually buy it that way?

#12

I will.

#13

Definitely

#14

Yep, 100%. I hate unwieldy vinyl reissues with bonus material so CDs are perfect here.

This is pretty much a dream tracklisting! A studio version of Electric Intercourse is basically the Prince holy grail. And We Can Fuck, which is presumably a nastier, earlier version of We Can Funk.

Also interesting to hear his version of Dance Electric, the Andre Cymone version has always been a favourite.

I bought one of the Prince albumā€™s on Record Store Day. Paid Ā£23 for it, but when I got home I danced to it like it was Ā£19.99:yum:
