Saturday, May 17, 2008 --=[ Prince 3 ]=-- Prince - C-Note [Rare][2003] C Note Link 2 The first 3 tracks are instrumentals named after the location they were recorded. The fourth track is an instrumental with Prince repeating "Tokyo" and was recorded in Tokyo. The fifth track is a live rendition of "Empty Room" (recorded October 25, 2002 in Copenhagen), an outtake originally intended for the album The Gold Experience, though the song was likely written ca. August 4, 1985, when it was first recorded. Collection of tracks recorded during sound checks on the "One Nite Alone... Live!" tour Per4med by Prince and the New Power Generation Prince - Purple Rain [1984] P Rain Link 2 Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, revolutionary as it did in 1984 (and nothing else has ever sounded like the extraordinary cooing and fluttering of "When Doves Cry"), but it's a pop landmark in Prince's Artist-ic career. The hit movie was really just a big-screen showcase for Prince to perform these songs (some of them in tear-the-roof-off "live" versions set in a Minneapolis club). I don't know why that warped sermonette introduces "Let's Go Crazy" (one thing you've got to love about Prince: he's always been weird), but somehow I'm glad it's there. Other highlights include the sexual scorcher "Darling Nikki" (with its crazy backwards coda) and that anthemic title tune. Don't you miss Wendy and Lisa, too? * C-Note is from the PFunk Private Collection * All track info is in the comment section...
