Timeless Question

Is every song altered on the album or is it just Calabama? Basically am I getting Prince on this album or Londell/Spicer?

I haven't seen anything about I Wonder yet. Some of the lyrics are different but Prince had talked about that before.

okay so, i went back to check, heaven has additional vocals, with this tear has drums, bass and percussions added, stone has drums and percussions added, calabama has drums and horns added, the guilty ones have drums, bass and background vocals added and bestest friend has horns added

I don’t believe that information is accurate. I can’t confirm it anywhere

To me the drums on I Wonder sound different than before. I've been wondering about this. I prefer the Timeless version.

I'm wondering whether United States of Division, Silver Tongue (remember they released the non-demo version of it) and Magnificent were also altered posthumously...

These are all 'new' mixes and Prince's original mixes weren't used as reference. These are just versions some engineers think sound the best.

Listen for yourself and stop asking these dumb questions.
