It really is. Um. The blog says that they're going to figure out some other way of distribution. But there must be a better way.
Oh also, I think those packages include the 12" singles and their b-sides also? But I keep those separate from the albums as their own singles in iTunes.

I have that huge comp a dude did years ago of all the 12" mixes (vinyl rips at 160 bitrate) which is a fkin monument though the sound lacks impact. Would be interesting to hear what the latest vinyl-ripping science could do for them.

It was on an ILX thread somewhere, maybe '06 or '07.

Holy crap those SOTT-era tracklists! If someone does a dropbox-type thing please to ILXmail me...

Trynna figure something out.

Ditto, even though I think I have almost all this material.

I don't have the FLACs though - they were available at the time, but I didn't think to get them etc. etc.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 20 February 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, I'd never seen those Homemade editions.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 February 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
I for one do not need flacs. Decent bitrate mp3 is more than enough for me.
― Axolotl with an Atlatl (Jon Lewis), Monday, 20 February 2012 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, not a flac fan. Perfect copy of imperfect source, etc.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 February 2012 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
i've only got the 1999 homemade deluxe thang, but it is great. always meant to grab the rest... if there is a d-box thing, keep me posted!
― tylerw, Monday, 20 February 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
another on the "fuck flacs" bandwagon, good mp3s preferred
― Little GTFO (contenderizer), Monday, 20 February 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
i demand flacs! FLACS!!! (no just kidding, realllllly don't care.)

the original Dream Factory record, which I ripped about six years ago, is as magnificent as SOTT. The world is a sadder place for not hearing "Teacher Teacher" and "Train."
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 20 February 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, Train is AMAZING and not in the Mavis Staples version which gets rid of the lovely percussion that sounds like clickety clack.
What is your Dream Factory tracklist Alfred - mine doesn't have Teacher Teacher on it.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 20 February 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
Was general consensus SOTT Deluxe/Camille/Dream Factory?
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 20 February 2012 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
It begins with "Visions," an instrumental piece composed by Wendy and Lisa, then segues into "Teacher Teacher."
That's the other thing: Wendy and Lisa are full-fledged collaborators in this iteration of the album.

I have 320 bit or FLAC copies of all of Prince's 12" mixes (except for "America", where the rip with the best sound quality that I've found is 256 bit; unfortunately I can't rip my own vinyl copy of it) and B-sides, and of some of the unreleased stuff too. Obviously filesharing is WRONG AND AGAINST ILX RULES, but if you drop me an email at tuomast {dot} alho {at} gmail {dot} com, we can "discuss" the issue.
― Tuomas, Monday, 20 February 2012 21:14 (twelve years ago) link
i managed to get all those "homemade deluxe editions" except for, i think, diamonds and pearls, which was the last one. they are indeed amazing. they also did deluxe edition of some prince-produced albums like vanity 6 and the time.

that vanity 6 album is great cheap fun btw.

i think this is a pretty common outtake, but i posted "purple music" from the 1999 sessions a while back if anyone doesn't have it: http://ow.ly/8HQ3m

We could send Alex In MTL a purple thumb drive to fill up, then it could get sent around to all of us in turn. Like old fashioned tape networks...

Wow. Ok. This is a lot of people - concerned about too much dropbox downloading from my account. Is there a better way to do this?

― erotic war comedy pollster (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
maybe a drop box tree? Alex shares it to a few, each of them share it to a few?
Or y'know THE PURPLE THUMB DRIVE...
― Axolotl with an Atlatl (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link
Purple thumb drive sounds hilarious and awesome. We would have to compile a mailing chain though. And also wouldn't the thumb drive get stopped at borders and stuff?
