The 4-CD Rhino box 'The Last Word' will apparently include live material and studio rarities from the Warner years, but unfortunately, the oft-bootlegged(or faked) Prince material is not going to be on there, after all. The label head was quoted in ICE as having thought he'd made Prince "an offer he couldn't refuse," but apparently the wee purple one wasn't having anything to do with his former employers. Nevertheless, this could be surprisingly good: 'Tutu' is a great album, 'Amandla' is better than just good, and'Doo-Bop,' well, two out of three... Curiously, Jazzmatazz lists this as cancelled, but that's news to me. There was a feature in ICE in July, as I recall. Alan, you know something you're not sharing?
Don't forget 'Siesta' and the other soundtracks, which had quite good stuff on them, too, and which, according to http://www.rhino.com/Hotpress/74360pr.html , will also be in the box. -- | josephzitt@josephzitt.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | http://www.metatronpress.com/jzitt/ http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |
