As we all know, Prince just doesn't respond well to being told that he can't, and the disputes with his record label en route to starting his own lead to a homogenized, inconsistent decade ahead, not helped by Prince's wild eccentricities that got him seriously bad press during this period. So erratic a time, in fact, that it wound up creating the image of Prince as the out-of-touch, delusional former innovator we know today.The Record Store Day 2022 re-release of The Gold Experience is an homage to the rare US-only promo version of the album released in 1995. The two-LP set is pressed onto translucent gold vinyl with a bonus suite of “Eye Hate U” remixes on Side D.

Don't be alarmed, but this version of "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" is different from the hit a year ago, but I guess he felt obligated to give "Warner" at least this one..... Seventeenth heaven from the prince with a thousand amazing songs, or rather the artist formerly known as prince with close to a thousand amazing songs at that particular stage in his career. The 90s was a time which saw an even greater avalanche of album activity from him, often of a vault-clearing, totally contract-obliging nature. Even amongst genuine hit-laden, multi-platinum smashes and triple disc statements of artistic freedom, 1995’s The Gold Experience still shines as his most brilliant work for that decade.Then the 3rd and perfect album closer in "Gold", is 7 minutes of pure greatness...It was the second single, and in my opinion, it should have faired better.... The album also had a "NPG Operator" in between the songs (played by "Rain Invana"), which keeps the album running smooth....

The Gold Experience was voted the 30th best album of 1995 in the Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of American critics published by The Village Voice. [19] Christgau, the poll's supervisor, ranked it 10th best in his own year-end list. [20] In a retrospective review, Keith Harris from Blender cited The Gold Experience as the best album Prince recorded in the 1990s, "a mix of newly stripped-down funk and delicate balladry that reasserts his dynamic range". [5] In my review for Exodus, I called it Prince's most truly experimental album. Well, my opinion on experimental albums is rarely that they are great in and of themselves. However, they often directly contribute to an artist's growth. In other words, Exodus walked so that The Gold Experience could fly. Coker, Cheo H. (September 24, 1995).

The Gold Experience was the first full-length Prince album to be credited to his unpronounceable symbol, and was released at the most public, heated stage of his battle with the major label industrial complex. With the word “SLAVE” written on one cheek, Prince shined on the opulent ballads “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” and “Gold” and the defiant single “Eye Hate U,” and the album earned widespread critical acclaim. The album reached number 6 on The Billboard 200 Chart, and number 2 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart. Salaverri, Fernando (September 2005). Sólo éxitos: año a año, 1959–2002 (1sted.).
