Three disks of unreleased &#8220;bootleg&#8221; tracks. The fourth disk is a CD called Truth consisting of new music recorded in 1997. I have listened to most of the three discs over the years and found I liked disk two the best. The first three tracks &#8220;Interactive&#8221; &#8220;Da Bang&#8221; and &#8220;Calhoun Square&#8221; are all good Funk numbers from the mid 90&#8217;s. &#8220;Crucial&#8221; is a soulful ballad and is an outtake from the Sign O&#8217; The Times record. &#8220;Cloreen Bacon Skin&#8221; from 1983 is a 15 minute track made with Moris Day with Prince speaking over a funky drum and bass beat. It&#8217;s a little strange. &#8220;Strays Of The World was written for a Broadway musical that never got made. &#8220;The Ride&#8221;,  another good one that is on disc three, is a slow Blues recorded live  in &#8217;95. The Truth CD is acoustic based with a few tracks of just Prince playing guitar and singing. &#8220;Don&#8217;t Play Me&#8221; and &#8220;Animal Kingdom&#8221; were the ones I liked best on this CD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a four disk set that came out in 1998.
