This could have been an excellent two CD set. Not to say it
isn't fantastic, but the Carmen releases are better documented on Sun Moon Stars
and Madhouse 24 is on a number of other releases. The sound quality is excellent
and the package superb. This is one in a series of Must have outakes
collections.

A very nice collection of outtakes. There
are quite a few disappointments on it however. Like the incomplete version of
Crystal Ball which is basically just the second half of the song, and the Carmen
Electra/Madhouse filler. Of course, if you don't have those tracks then I
suppose you won't consider them filler. :)

The
first in a series of triple sets that included Deposition, Dreams,
Cosmos and H2O. Unlike some of those this one has
nigh-on perfect sound all the way through, and some great material to boot.
Prince's original version of 'The sex of it' is excellent, 'Work that fat'
funny and offensive, 'Seven corners' dreamy. The work series may be
the ultimate outtakes collection but this set still has much to offer and
serves as a fine introduction to the contents of the Paisley Park vault.
