Prince - Originals

Prince will forever be remembered as a commanding live performer, chart-topping recording artist, and music business revolutionary. Yet for all the time he spent in the spotlight over his four-decade-long career, Prince also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to nurture talent and pen songs for the rising artists he respected. Several of the iconic songs found on Originals were considerable hits for the artists who recorded them.

Editorial Reviews

By the mid-1980s, Prince was dominating the charts even as a writer/producer with songs he'd composed and recorded for others. In addition to releasing nine of his most commercially successful full-length albums, he also wrote and recorded endless reels of material for proteges The Time, Vanity 6, Sheila E., Apollonia 6, Jill Jones, the Family, and Mazarati. Occasionally, Prince's original demo recordings would beused as master takes on their albums, with only minor alterations to the instrumentation and a replacement of the vocal tracks. Other times, artists would rely on his demos to guide them through their own recording process, with Prince's initial take informing their final version of his song. The aggregate effect was a complete saturation and transformation of the pop music landscape, with Prince both leading and subverting mainstream culture. - Several of the iconic songs found on Originals were considerable hits for the artists who recorded them. Sheila E.'s "The Glamorous Life" reached #1 on the dance charts in 1984, while the enormous success of "Manic Monday" propelled the single and its accompanying album, The Bangles' Different Light, to the #2 spot on the pop charts. The Time's Ice Cream Castle, featuring the top 20 "Jungle Love", spent a whopping 57 weeks on the Billboard 200. And in 1991, Martika enjoyed international success with "Love... Thy Will Be Done", a top 10 hit in France, Australia, the UK and the USA. - Originals pulls back the curtain to reveal the origins of these familiar songs, in addition to deeper album cuts such as Vanity 6's "Make-Up," Jill Jones's "Baby, You're a Trip," and Kenny Rogers' "You're My Love." The album also features Prince's majestic original 1984 version of "Nothing Compares 2 U," released in 2018 as a standalone single.

There is Prince, and then there is everybody else. He was both a brilliant songwriter and musician. The songs on this CD are songs that Prince wrote then other artists performed. Now we can hear Prince perform these songs he wrote. I already liked most of the songs on this CD as performed by the other artists. I actually like the Prince renditions of these songs better in most instances. It's a tremendous CD with a good variety of types of songs. It feels like getting a great brand new Prince album back in the 80s. Since getting this CD on release day I have pretty much listened to it several times of day. This CD makes me miss Prince more than ever, while at the same time continue to appreciate his incredible talent.

I was a bit skeptical when I saw this come out. I thought they were all going to be demos and sound poor. So glad I was wrong. These all sound like finished, ready for radio singles. It makes you really appreciate Prince even more. I didn't realize he wrote ALL the songs in Purple Rain, not just the ones The Revolution played. It's cool to hear a the evolution of some of these songs as well. Shows how some people just recorded their version the same as Prince or in the case of the Bangles added harmonies and little nuances or Sinead changing a lyric a little to make a song about missing an ex into missing a mother.

A Sneak Peek into Prince's process...

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

During his career, he released nearly 500 original studio recordings. He also wrote some 200 songs for other acts. This collection is just the tip of the purple iceberg. Several of these songs have long been available in on bootleg. However, most of these are different versions newly mixed from the original multi-track masters. And several have never been heard at all. So even if you think you've heard them... think again.

Sure there are songs I would have wanted to hear ("The Belle Of St Mark", "Sugar Walls", "Nasty Girl", "777-9311", "Time Waits for No One") however this is a much have set. The weirdness of hearing Prince singing a song he wrote for a female gives them an interesting twist.

Prince, his music, his story, and his overall creativity are almost unmatched across the board. In "Originals", I find that his influence on his friends and colleagues is top notch. He evidently created demos that were held in such high regard with his peers that they remained virtually untouched when re-recorded for other groups. The music that you hear on this CD is almost exactly like the versions recorded by Sheila E., The Time, and more. Those artists added their vocal touch and ad libs but you will hear the blueprints to several great songs.

Surprisingly Great

This is what I was hoping for with the Purple Rain deluxe version - but this was worth the wait and the ten dollars. I was expecting it to be all demo versions, I think based on the absolutely awful "album" cover. Most of these are better that the artists that actually did them - some are just good, but in my opinion, there is nothing terrible on here. Its like getting another CD from Prince during the 80s. I say keep the stuff in that vault comin!

More proof that he was and is the goat! This man lived and breathed music. In the 80s, prince competed with Michael, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen. They hired the best songwriters, the best musicians, and the best producers. Prince did all of that himself and still competed at a high level!

We can debate which songs should also have made the cut here, but the talent is unquestionable. Great collection or starter set!

As a huge prince fan, I'm so happy we got these gems from prince. Especially after the last release of Piano and Microphone left us wanting more I had to get this. Was hoping they had put holly rock on this and I'm so glad they did! While I love Sheila Esversion I had known in the epic Vault that he had did a version before passing it to his fellow band mate. This is def for hardcore prince fans only.

Familair songs unlike you've heard them before

Reviewed in Canada on July 21, 2019

This collection is excellent. It is like a lost 80s album from Prince. It is amazing that he could so easily give away songs that became hits for others. It shows how prolific he was. Also, it is a good album from the "vault." It is tied together because they were all songs that he gave away. The collection also shows the diversity of Prince's talents and his ability to write for a variety of other artists (yes, we are talking about Kenny Rogers). So far, the posthumous releases are two for two. It suggests that there is more to come.

Les superbes versions originales de Prince

Reviewed in France on February 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Cet album nous permet de découvrir en 15 morceaux des titres que Prince a offerts à d'autres artistes (Manic Monday par les Bangles...) ou qui ont été repris par d'autres (Nothing compares 2 U, devenu un tube par Sinead O' Connor). Ces versions sont simplement fantastiques et démontrent qu'on n'est jamais si bien servi que par soi-même. Il reste encore des tas d'enregistrements fabuleux dans les archives de ce grand artiste qu'était Prince, au hasard l'aftershow à la Cigale en 2009, époustouflant !
