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

xpost <3 Wendy so much

echoing what jon lewis said; that stuff looks AMAZING

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.

Pretty please!

Oh lord. Ok.

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.

Wow, I'd never seen those Homemade editions.

I for one do not need flacs. Decent bitrate mp3 is more than enough for me.

Yeah, not a flac fan. Perfect copy of imperfect source, etc.

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!

another on the "fuck flacs" bandwagon, good mp3s preferred

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."

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.

Was general consensus SOTT Deluxe/Camille/Dream Factory?

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 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.

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.

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.

Not the Rockpile song, I guess.

damn i need these homemade deluxe edtions in my life

dream factory stuff >> sott

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

sign me up as someone interested in homemade SOTT box sets plz!!!

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...

a purple thumb drive in a thong

it will need a tiny smoke machine

and the ability to jizz on the audience at the end of "purple rain"

*cries*

sign me up as someone interested in homemade SOTT box sets plz!!!

holy shit i just listened to 'teacher teacher' on youtube...so good.

didn't realize just how much unreleased stuff from that era there was. need need need that dream factory comp!!!

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?

let me know what you need to make it happen

ilx should have a private BitTorrent tracker

oooooh gimme have been thinking about some way of getting my mitts on all this unreleased stuff since reading Dance Music Sex Romance: The First Decade last year

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...

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?

racist imo

?

purple so gets stopped at the border

oh lol, thought that the random purple rose thumb drive i found was somehow racist.

well that too

i was racist when i posted, forgive me if i go astray
