1999 Super Deluxe is SO DENSE with amazing music it has taken us FOUR episodes to cover two vault disks - time well spent, if you ask us. We talk about several versions of Can't Stop This Feeling I Got, all three versions of Do Yourself A Favor (If You See Me), Don't Let Him Fool Ya, two versions of Teacher, Teacher, and the tour demo of Lady Cab Driver/I Wanna Be Your Lover/Head/Little Red Corvet...

We continue our 1999 Super Deluxe coverage with the first part of Vault Disk 2. We talk about Possessed, Delirious, Purple Music, Yah, You Know, Moonbeam Levels, No Call U, and a few alternate takes. We don't have selections this episode, but we have our biggest disagreement on the podcast to date!

This episode covers the second half of Vault Disk 1 of the 1999 Super Deluxe reissue.

Our selections from the past two episodes are here, too. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.c...

"I hate that stuppie... I hate that stupid 'Happy Birthday' song" We feel you, Prince. Or, um, New Power Generation since at this concert, the Purple Yoda's name didn't have a pronunciation. Birthday 37 for Prince and birthday number two for 0(-> was something special and we are talking about it this week. Happy Purple listening, friends.

How do you promote a tour where you don’t plan to play your hits, but rather songs from an album that you think won’t get released? Make the Purple Medley from your hits, of course! Purple Medley, the edit, Kirk J's B-sides Remix, remixes of Pop Life, Head, and Alphabet St., and a couple more: Playtime and Stone.

There was more to 1-800-New-Funk than the compilation album. Videos, live appearances, and extended/remix versions all made it out. In our quest to cover the well-known and the lesser known, we are happy to cover it all. Happy Purple listening, friends.

A early 90's compilation of Paisley Park and NPG Records artists that you could only get by calling a toll-free number where - it's rumored - that Prince himself might occasionally answer the phone? Yes, please! Josh called the number back in the day, but sadly never got Prince on the horn - but he DID get this partially awesome and always perplexing collection of songs. Happy Purple listening, fr...

A single episode on Mayte's Child of the Sun turned out not to be enough. Remixes, versions of songs by other people, and some unreleased stuff ALSO need to be covered and we are here to get it done. But here's the real question: If Eye Love U 2Night, will you share the pod with a friend in the morning light?

This week we have the only album by our favorite bellydancing dog lover, Mayte. 1995's Child of the Sun is an interesting mix of original and rehashed material that definitely has it's peaks... and some things best left under the waves.

It's our second annual One-Second Challenge! You sent in the requests, Christy pulled clips, and Josh did the identification from just a single second - or two. Can you guess them, too?

We have reached the end... of the episodes on Exodus! Don't worry, we aren't done with 1994-95, but today, TODAY! We have The Good Life maxi-single; Slave To The System/Acknowledge Me mashup; Mad by both the NPG and Prince; NPG doing Love... Thy Will Be Done, Funky, and Proud Mary; and Funky Design by both the NPG and Prince. Happy purple listening, friends! Visit us on Facebook: https://www.faceb...

We continue our deep drive into 1994-1995 with ANOTHER episode on the New Power Generation effort, Exodus. Prince was so stinkin' busy: The Get Wild maxi-single, THREE versions of Super Hero, an early version of The Exodus Has Begun, and an entirely unreleased song, It Takes 3. What sinks and what soars this week? Happy purple listening, friends. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMAT...

We are back on track with our 94-95 era Prince series. The Artist Formerly Known as Prince may have SEEMED like he was not as prolific as he was in the 80s, but the man was BUSY. The New Power Generation - with lots of direction and input from, um, Tora Tora - released their second album: Exodus. We have all the deets and lots of thoughts on this P-Funk album. Join us for a funky ride! Visit us on...

The Estate has put out the latest installment of "new" music and we are here with our thoughts - Prince Originals is here.

The Mid-90s ain't over! Well, at least not here on TMATS. Endorphinmachine, Gold, Shy, Days of Wild, and Billy Jack Bitch all had alternate versions. We talk about videos for Dolphin, Gold, Eye Hate U, Endorphinmachine, Rock N Roll Is Alive, TMBGITW, and a couple of live performances that were... fraught. Happy purple listening, friends, and join us for a funky ride. Visit us on Facebook: https://...

Our journey through the mid-90s continues! The Most Beautiful Girl In The World single and EP, Eye Hate U maxi single, Rock N Roll Is Alive (And It Lives In Minneapolis), and some unreleased - and semi-released - versions of P. Control. Who knew this much "sameness" could sound so diverse? Happy purple listening, friends, and join us for a funky ride. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com...

The album that Christy has been waiting to review for over a year and preparing for since 1995: The Gold Experience. Join Josh as he makes her happy chatting about this album shadowed by dispute, mired in scandal, and full to the brim with some extremely interesting music. Happy purple listening, fam.

We briefly interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for an exclusive interview with music journalist (and musician!) Tom Moon. With a bit of talk about how both the music industry and the role of music reviewer has changed, some opinions on the album Come, and a first-hand account of chatting with Prince - this is an informative ride, funky friends.
