Yeah, that wiki is great!

There's also a really great online project floating around that arranged the best of unreleased prince stuff and released stuff as proper deluxe albums.
maybe the death of megaupload etc. killed it, tho.

his case of you is epic, although i think i prefer the solo acoustic version i saw him do over the summer.

Where is this?
― The Reverend, Monday, 20 February 2012 06:34 (twelve years ago) link
I think you can still find that stuff floating around, at least in Soulseek. They're called "Foefur's remasters", and they're all in FLAC format.
― Tuomas, Monday, 20 February 2012 10:07 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think the remastering work this Foefur fellow has done to album tracks is that impressive, but these are a great way of getting hold of rare and unreleased tunes.
― Tuomas, Monday, 20 February 2012 10:12 (twelve years ago) link
I wasn't thinking of Foefur's remasters. Was thinking of this - http://therearenokings.blogspot.com/
Apparently all his files got taken down, but he's working on alternative distribution.
Shoot me an e-mail, Rev and we can find a way to get you it via snailmail or something?
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 20 February 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
Oh shit. He doesn't even have the track listings up anymore. Hm.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 20 February 2012 14:47 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i been looking around, there's no foefur's remasters around as far as i can see (damn!)

Of the later albums I think he's also done Graffiti Bridge and Diamonds and Pearls but I didn't see anything there I was super excited about.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 20 February 2012 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
The real treasure trove is the Sign o the Times package, which includes a disc worth of amazing bonuses, plus Dream Factory which is secretly sometimes my favourite Prince album.

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.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Monday, 20 February 2012 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Axolotl with an Atlatl (Jon Lewis), Monday, 20 February 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
It was on an ILX thread somewhere, maybe '06 or '07.

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!

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.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 20 February 2012 20:48 (twelve years ago) link
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.
