Thanks Alex. Just saw that the dude at There Are No Kings just upped all his deluxe editions again as torrents, but in flac form. Alas, not only can I not successfully download the torrent links, but I don't want flac, but maybe someone else is interested ...

Also, some folks were reporting issues with the SOTT - has anyone gotten that link to work proper?
worked for me
― hot slag (lukas), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
Your link or his? Because I can't get a torrent file for any but Dirty Mind. It just downloads ... gibberish. Code and shit.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
I got yours, though!
tried it three times now and the .zip file always opens up empty...?
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago) link
Ok. So I'll try to recompress and reupload my Sign of the Times.

Prince takes a lot of baths

god DAMN, this version of "Crystal Ball!" If I die this week, bury me with it.
― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
listening to the Dream Factory version - this is way better than the one that showed up on the offical 3-CD Crystal Ball release wow

i'm just getting to the perfect prince thing now - yowza! really great throughout.

xpost just to be clear i was listening to the SOTT Ridiculous Deluxe version of 'crystal ball', haven't gotten to the Dream Factory one yet.
― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
I can't get the Ridiculous Deluxe zip file to work for some reason :(
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:13 (twelve years ago) link
I lent the CD-R I burned of TDF years ago and never got it back but am so happy to have these and sounding so good. "Teacher Teacher" no longer sounds like a circus heard from several city blocks away.

Wait so.... the SOTT outtakes ARE working for some people?
I don't understand what's going on.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man, now I'm really wishin' Alex got my email...
― Iago Galdston, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
for those who managed to get the SOTT to work - can you try to help / guide / upload that stuff for those who haven't gotten it to work, since whatever I did to SOTT doesn't seem to be working.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
I did. I just replied.
Sorry for the delay.
we're talking about SOTT Ridiculously Deluxe Edition, right?
i'm uploading to my dropbox now, email lukasb AT g mail
― hot slag (lukas), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
are we talking about alex's dropbox version of the SOTT RD edition? cuz that downloaded and unzipped just fine for me. has 18 tracks of SOTT addenda.
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I can't get it to work. the archive opens up empty. is it just me?
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
just e-mailed lukas, maybe his link will work
i know that my xpost wasn't very helpful, but it did at least work. all i did to download it was click. can upload if lukas' version doesn't work, but i assume it will.
― THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
I unzipped it successfully with Archive Utility on Mac. Dunno if there is any kind of platform thing going on?

Lukas's copy worked for me for some reason. many thanks all around, really appreciate the generosity of time and effort

man this version of Joy in Repetition is way better than the one on Graffiti Bridge
― heavy is the head that eats the crayons (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 21:26 (twelve years ago) link
I don't agree but it might be the mix quality.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link
What do you guys think of this alternate 'Strange Relationship'? It's stunning!
― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
I gotta say that I prefer the released mixes in every case except "We Can Funk."
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
Does that apply to the released mixes on the official Crystal Ball release as well?
― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
SOTT zip probably doesn't work for some because it has the peace symbol in the filename?
― dayo, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
Re-listening to the official 'Strange Relationship' now... yeah, this kicks ass. But the alternate one has drawn my attention to that tamboura-like pad which I've never noticed before... it's there in the official mix but almost subliminally...
― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
I certainly don't think so. Everything here that showed up on Crystal Ball seems to have been in an inferior form for the most part.

while everybody is excited about prince, what are the best sources for video recordings of prince performance? his digital team seems pretty good at taking down the ones that end up on youtube. are there official releases? where does one get the video files that people keep on uploading to youtube?

just ilx mailed

Sorry everyone, I've just had a very busy few days and haven't be able to download or access anything here -- does someone have Tracer's comp to hand?

Dayo, I just found a four hour DVD set called Prince: Life of the Party on D*E*&M#O&N)O$I*D, but I don't know what show or what tour it is...I'll invite you in to the site (I don't know how many invites this site gives me but I think others can offer up invites if others want to join up) . Email me for the code you enter when you register, Dayo
