I'd have to disagree with "Mountains" extended being anything fun. It just never got to me. I loved the album version a bit more.

"She's Always In My Hair" is always a stand out. "Erotic City" is more and more funk on the extended. I like the extended "Anotherlover" as well. One of my favorites is "Alexa De Paris". I've just always been in love with that song. "Another Lonely Christmas" is comparable, because they're both heavy on the drum fills, etc. I think my all time favorite though would have to be "Let's Go Crazy". As much as I was raised on R&B and Soul and Disco, I just LOVED "let's go crazy" as a teenager. I guess it appealed to my Oklahoma white boy side. The guitar solos were blazing, and the extended mid section was to die for. Unreal. Alexa de Paris isn't an extended. It's a B-side. | |

The Revolution-era extendeds were my favorite, because they are actual EXTENDED versions of the song by the Prince and the band, not post-production remixes by "of the moment" remixers.

I'm well aware of what it is, but I also believe the 12" B-side was extended. A lot of his B-sides had extended versions as well. In fact, on the UK single of "letitgo", there's a 4:54 minute version of "Alexa De Paris" listed as the "Extended Version". Ernest L Sewell, IV

Let's Go Crazy, Erotic City, Computer Blue, She's Always In My Hair, Mountains, Anotherloverholeinurhead, Thieves in the Temple, Gett Off. t is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

A friend of mine recently mixed a few different live versions of a class jam groove from Prince to make an hour long version of "Days Of Wild" which is easily my favorite extended mix by a long mile.

Girl, because even though it's kind of lengthy I can listen to it repeatedly. | |

YEP! I LOVED that shit! And there's some percussion that, when wearing headphones, almost sounds like someone in the other room beating on some shit. I remember "Funkytown" having a mix like that too. It's a very distant and spacial sounding thing. Ernest L Sewell, IV

On the b-side of my 12inch it says (extended version) for Alexa de Paris,so to me it counts. My choices are Alexa,Kiss,LGC and LaLaLa ..obviously judging from my avatar..lol "OMGl,Isn't that Prince on the television Saul?, is he the strangest thing you've ever seen or what?" | |

I'm not sure how you have an extended version when there's no "regular" or "edit" version...but whatever...  | |

Most of Prince's B-sides had extended versions back then. The 7" version was the "regular" version, the 12" held a longer mix. Perhaps you should revisit your 12" collection. It's a fabulous time.

There is no studio version of Alexa de Paris shorter or longer than 4:54 - unless it is on some uber-rare bootleg. But then, had you visited your 12" collection recently, you would know that. | |
