The remix album to Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic is, for all intents and purposes, Prince’s preferred configuration for the commercial album, since this version is superior, as would have been its prospects. Some tracks are axed and the survivors tweaked in this improvement to Rave Un2. It came as a surprise to fans that the existence of Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic was, announced by all people by Prince’s lawyer (L. Londell McMillan) and, sadly a limited release available only to fan club subscribers. The tracklist boasted also the fans’ pick a new insertion Beautiful Strange. Songs that are improved on Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic are The Greatest Romance Ever Sold, Hot Wit U, Man O’ War and Prettyman. This album is cherished by those who own it and explains why it is so hard to obtain by those who seek it.
