No.

There is a circulating alternate version of Superfunkycalifragisexy. The differences are quite minimal though.

It's on 30 Years Of Unreleased Funk, I can't remember if it's on any other boots, probably is.

It's just a longer mix of the same track though, right?

It's possible other tracks were considered when it was compiled, but known alt. configs exist.

Since the construction of the album was seemingly different to all(?) other albums, this probably explains why.

It hardly makes sense to think of outtakes when it comes 2 The Black Album as it was itself kind of a collection of outtakes in the first place.

If u call an "outtake" a song that was recorded 4 or considered 4 an album, then no other configuration of TBA is known so NO there's no outtake, circulating or not.

If u call an outtake a song recorded during the same recording sessions, then it makes little sense here as TBA was recorded over a period of almost 2 years, alongside material that would end-up on Sign "O" The Times, Jill Jones, 8, 16, Sheila E. and several other releases, as well as dozens of songs that are either circulating on bootlegs or never heard to this day. Songs such as Rebirth Of The Flesh and Feel U Up could have ended-up on TBA as much as on SOTT and Partyman (but didn't) and in a sense YES, we have TONS of circulating TBA outtakes: everything recorded/considered for Dream Factory/Camille/Crystal Ball/Sign "O" The Times or 8 and 16 could qualify.

And yes, there is indeed a longer version of Superfunkycalifragisexy circulating, as well as an intrumental edit of the song that was released thru NPGMusicClub.com in 2001.

I wouldn't mind hearing that first demo of the Lovesexy album either, before all the added aural decor.
