| − | |introduction = '''The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)''' is a promotional cassette of previously-unreleased material by [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] that was given to attendees of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versace Versace] collection of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_fashion_week Paris Fashion Week] over the course of three consecutive days, beginning [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_8|8 July 1995]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The cassette was mostly a promotional tool for [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]'s upcoming album [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], but also contained tracks from other planned projects, the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]]'s second album [[Album: Exodus|Exodus]] (which had already been released in Europe), [[Madhouse]]'s third album [[Album: 24 (1994)|24]] (which was ultimately left unreleased) and [[The NPG Orchestra]]'s [[Album: Kamasutra|Kamasutra]] (which was released in early 1997).

| − | | + | |
| − | Unlike other [[NPG Records]] sampler cassettes of the era, many tracks were remixed or edited specifically for this release to make listening to the cassette a complete listening experience. In addition, several tracks feature overdubbed vocals by [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] of either "Versace" or "The Versace Experience". As such, many of the tracks are not available in the same form elsewhere.

| − | | + | |
| − | Also unusually for [[NPG Records]] sampler cassettes, '''The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)''' was released in conjunction with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] This is likely due to the links with [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], which was planned for release by [[NPG Records]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 12|12 September 1995]], as indicated on the cassette insert, although the release was later postponed to [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 26|26 September 1995]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Ten of the 15 tracks included on '''The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)''' are remixes or edits of tracks that would appear on [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]]. Of these, [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Single: Eye Hate U]][[Eye Hate U| Hate U]] (Remix) is a blend of the album version with the '''(Quiet Night Mix by Eric Leeds)''' included on the [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Single: Eye Hate U]][[Single: Eye Hate U| Hate U]] maxi-single.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Two of the three remixes of [[P. Control|Pussy Control]] (later renamed [[P. Control]] for official release) are listed as appearing on [[Single: Eye Hate U|The Hate Experience]], a variation of the [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Single: Eye Hate U]][[Single: Eye Hate U| Hate U]] maxi-single which was ultimately not released. [[Get Wild|Get Wild In The House]] is a remix of [[Get Wild]], taken from the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]]'s second album [[Album: Exodus|Exodus]] (which had already been released in Europe), although the mix is an edit of the full track on the [[Single: Get Wild|Get Wild]] maxi-single.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Free The Music]] is included in full, and was taken from the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]]'s [[Single: The Good Life|The Good Life]] maxi-single. [[24 Segues#Sonny T.|Sonny T.]] and [[Rootie Kazootie]] are edits of the full tracks taken from [[Madhouse]]'s third album [[Album: 24 (1994)|24]] (which was ultimately left unreleased). [[Serotonin|Kamasutra Overture # 5]] is included in full; it was renamed [[Serotonin]] before being released on [[Album: Kamasutra|Kamasutra]] in 1997.
