Really keen to hear the difference between these one step pressings Vs. regular so am keen for "Mr. one-step" @evil c to host a gtg doing some comparisons among his vast array of these releases. There are some pressings that just out-resolve your (my) system, and this is one of them. Clearly superior to most things that spin on my deck : I'm keeping it to play and enjoy on my penultimate system, in whatever year that materialises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Keith Good point mate. in this caper nobody can use the word penultimate in correct context, because we never know what treasure awaits. I know of many people who have done complete u-turns in their systems and sonic philosophy. It has probably happened only 15 times in my life though, as I am judicious and a model of restraint and consistency. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penultimate means second from last or last but one, so my question is how can you know that? Given the vagaries of this hobby, it is going to be hard enough to say this is my last/ultimate system, unless you plan on shuffling off tomorrow I guess, so how can you know what your second last system is going to be??

Cheers, Keith Hah - that's pretty simple: I won't. Let me put it simply this way: this album is far better than the gear I have now. I'm keeping it until I have something that it sounds much better on. Penultimate or not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me put it simply this way: this album is far better than the gear I have now. I'm keeping it until I have something that it sounds much better on. Penultimate or not. No worries, Jon, I was confused, although I would have understood, if you had said you were keeping it to play on your last or ultimate system, but I couldn’t understand the relevance of keeping it to play on your second to last system...............hence the question, how would you actually know you had arrived at your penultimate system? Also, why wouldn’t you just keep it to play on your ultimate system, be that your last or not? As you say, it is simple, you won’t know what your penultimate system will be, so perhaps that is the conundrum you were posing, yes?

Cool, I’m pretty sure I saw one of those the 12” in a Record fair along with Pink Cashemere, as I never have cash in my wallet couldn’t get them. Lucky me I was able to get a copy of the Hits album for a good price, it was shipped on the day he died. The album has both songs on it and now sells for crazy prices .... https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/1052436573 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a live version on Prince CD - Hits & B sides - also this is on the album "The Originals" by Prince and if you get the Target US CD release it has the Cinematic Version on it which is stunningly beautiful. But CD of course. Vinyl: https://store.warnermusic.com.au/products/originals-vinyl Here is the 45 single: https://www.amazon.com.au/NOTHING-COMPARES-2-U-PRINCE/dp/B07C53MXGN/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=prince+nothing+compares&qid=1582455418&sr=8-2 and the Target one (I think the Japan CD has the bonus Nothing Compares 2 U track too on CD). https://www.discogs.com/Prince-Originals/release/13787301 Edited February 23, 2020 by April Snow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
