>yesterday?

'Mountains' (Extended Version) w/the Revolution. easily that group's finest moment on wax, IMO.

>Or your favorite Purple Conspiracy.

i am convinced Prince experimented w/drugs more than he let on. not that he had a drug problem (at least other than pain medz maybe...) but the man took some acid at some point, i bet. or shrooms. some psychedelic other than the mdma he tried at least once.

The fantasy
>album you always wanted to hear for him.

a few.

1. i wish the actual Purple Rain album had been the first 2 discs of this promotional release, Strange Tales from the Rain: https://www.discogs.com/Prince-Strange-Tales-From-The-Rain-Prince-1978-1984/release/3139238

2. i wish he'd been able to release Come in 1993 and The Gold Experience in 1994 as he wanted.

3. i'm fine w/Crystal Ball 1987 being cut down to SOTT.

4. i still want those re-releases and deluxe editions.

Your curiosities
>about the vault.

is 'Wally' in there? the original?

but now i wonder if his estate will be barred from releasing any of it.

i feel like i've heard most of the stuff i've heard ABOUT. so i'm curious about the stuff i haven't even heard about. there are so many gems hidden in there that i've heard (currently playing the 1992 version of 'Empty Room') that i want to sift through that stuff myself to find more of them.
