Prince / Missionization (2CDR)

Following the releases of Determination and Reincarnation in 2015, and Blaxploitation in the fall of 2016, this is the first of a series of astonishing outtakes from 2017!

It's so good you'll find yourself screaming, "Yes!" It's like a vault has opened! The release of such a huge amount of unreleased music is shocking. These masterpieces that were thought to exist but never got to be heard are finally included!

Starting with "Feel U Up" with its never-before-heard, innovative backing, the album features an instrumental version of the original Jungle Love, pre-Jesse Johnson guitar, a long version of "She's Always In My Hair" that sounds like it was made for a 12-inch, Prince's "The Glamorous Life," "Wednesday" from the movie "Purple Rain," "Next Time Wip The Lipstick Off Your Collar" with its beautiful violin and accordion, Prince's melancholic vocals that will move you to tears with "Dear Michaelangelo," a more majestic arrangement of "Others Here With Us," an unreleased track with a bouncing bass and a passionate melody, the finally released "Coco Boys," a mysterious, floating, innovative funk track, and "Big Tall Wall," a song about Prince's desire to stop Susanna from leaving, all in the highest quality possible. And what could be more miraculous than this? Prince wrote the song after his breakup with Susanna, but the song he supposedly erased, "Wally," remains! Listen to this 4 minutes and 36 seconds of Prince's melancholy! The following track, "Crucial," is just as impressive! And then there's "Love And Sex," a sun-kissed, Latin-style ode to love that showcases Sheila E.'s full charm. While many tracks feature Eric Leeds' horns, "Yah, U Know" is a fantastic unreleased track that will lift the listener's spirits with its bittersweet, youthful melody and stirring horns! Prince's version of "Come Home," written by Mavis Staples, and Prince's original version of Sheena Easton 101, a demo likely made in the early days of La, La, La, He, Hee with a different vocal style and backing, and the finished product, featuring horns and percussion from The Line, create a lively, party-like arrangement reminiscent of the Lovesexy era.

This is the best outtakes of 2017—nay, the most comprehensive compilation of the last decade! The vault has finally opened! (Please note that due to the nature of the excavated material, there may be some noise and audio cutouts.)
