prince

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.

I unzipped it successfully with Archive Utility on Mac. Dunno if there is any kind of platform thing going on?

alex, didja get my email? should i resend? i'm john

i'm windows, so

forks - i replied to all the ones i got, so if it didn't work try again - you can ilx webmail me your email address if you want.

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

I don't agree but it might be the mix quality.

What do you guys think of this alternate 'Strange Relationship'? It's stunning!

I gotta say that I prefer the released mixes in every case except "We Can Funk."

Does that apply to the released mixes on the official Crystal Ball release as well?

SOTT zip probably doesn't work for some because it has the peace symbol in the filename?

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...

Does that apply to the released mixes on the official Crystal Ball release as well?

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.

WONDERFUL ASS. DAMN!!!

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

"Wonderful Ass" is soooo goood

sounds good Iago. I'll look into it!

ned - messaged you

sure. if you google the name of that dvd, it tells you what's on it--lot of soundchecks and TV appearances, etc...cool!

dayo - too kind

sent you an email Iago

boy i'm being dense--that one i emailed you about is 2009 (but he's playing all like all oldies and rare stuff). I'll look for yr email now...

14-minute Computer Blue also doing me right

oh yeah, that long version is sick...

maybe i'm a noob for not having heard the official versions, but the 'nothing left to give' - 'neon telephone' - 'love...thy will be done' stretch is my fav here. but there really is so much great stuff. glad the sharing spirit is alive in this thread.

electric intercourse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is probably not the rarest of the rare but is new to me.

i fucking love joy in repetition... curious to hear this version...
so how is this ballad of dorothy parker different from the actual release?

shit, i haven't downloaded anything yet and now i am very confused

this screamy demo irresistable bitch is fascinating!

MUCH better version of dream factory. i def prefer joy in repetition's released version if only cause the sound is better.

yeah, so much great stuff here. thanks 2 all. love the irresistible bitch demo, long computer blue, beautiful ass, moonbeam levels, extra loveable, high fashion-mutiny, lust u always, purple music. heard some of the songs collected on the PUP comps, but not most, certainly not these versions. haven't even got to the sign o' the times tracks yet...

meanwhile downloading the homemade deluxe editions of the earlier albums from TANK. don't really need/want FLACs, so i'm gonna convert the bonus tracks to MP3s for everyday use.

OK, can someone shed light on the relationship between "Wonderful Ass" and Inxs' "Mediate"? That little rap section in the middle is nearly identical...who got the idea from whom? I think I read Sign o the Times came out a few weeks or months before "Mediate" but it can't be a coincidence, right? Thanks in advance for any info...

If INXS did it second I am so sad they got rid of the ass celebration
whole song is just

I'm high and that picture is freakin' me out, man

so so so much great stuff on those two perfect unreleased comps, esp vol 2. current playlist:

Come
Lust U Always (Stereo Spread)
All Day All Night
Baby You're a Trip
Data Bank
Rebirth of the Flesh
Witness (4 the Prosecution)
The Line #2
Computer Blue (Full Version)
Wonderful Ass #1
Extra Loveable
Train
Lisa
Nothing Left to Give
High Fashion / Mutiny
All My Dreams

want to include "purple music" and the "irresistible bitch" demo, but the volume is low on those, need to adjust

Ok so who has the SOTT deluxe editions please? i'd love a copy! thanks loves.

So how many of the official SOTT tracks included on this version of Dream Factory are actually different mixes from the released ones? 'Strange Relationship' is very different. The others are not jumping out at me with anything obviously different.

I think that's the only one

When it (purple) rains, it pours.

That mix is just ridiculously great.
