What's your favorite remix or extended version?

The reason I ask is because on the drive in to work this morning, I was listening to the "Paisley Park" extended edition, which I haven't heard in a few years, and I remembered how blown away I am by all the AMAZING guitar work at the beginning and at the end. I have to say, the guitar in this song is probably my favorite out of all his songs. It's incredible how on the one hand it sounds heavenly, and yet at the same time it's angry. Just brilliant, inspired stuff.

"Erotic City" is my favorite of all of the extended versions.

"She's Always In My hair" is my 2nd fav.

The maxi singles used to have some gems on like - I Hate U (extended remix), Violet The Organ Grinder, New Power Generation and best of all for me Space (Universal Love Remix)

I think I would go La La La, He He Hee as well.

BUT:

It's a grey area sometimes, what's the extended version and what's simply the 'complete' version. Like, I can't stomach the 7" edit of Another Lonely Christmas for instance, and would consider the 12" version to simply be 'the song'. So if it's allowed, I'd say Another Lonely Christmas... because the edited version drives me nuts! lol

Favorite remix is probably either the Acoustic Mix of Space, or the Eric Leeds Quiet Night remix of Eye Hate U.

Extended versions, too many to choose! Probably the extended mix of Little Red Corvette.

NICE list!

I always felt that the Sreams Of Passson mix was a waste though as it just has a different short intro and a few sec breakdown in the middle.

I was also thinking Love On A Blue Train, but the long version looses the touch of the album version

I couldn't agree more about the extended/full version of Paisley Park. You hit the nail on the head: heavenly yet pissed off. Man, it's good stuff.

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Very difficult to pick just 1, so here are my top 5.

Scandelous (The Crime, Passion, Rapture)

Erotic City (12" Version)

Pop Life (Extended Version)

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man (12" Main Mix)

Little Red Corvette (Dance Mix - Ultimate Version)

_

Paisley Park, Raspberry Beret are close as well. All of the 12" from ATWIAD are incredible. Honorable mention to Mountains and I Wish U Heaven (Parts 1, 2 & 3). In terms of remixes, the Vicky Vale remix of Batdance and Razormaid mix of Housequake are awesome too.

Scandalous (The Crime, Passion, Rapture) Love this remix

Erotic City drips pure funk to me

Little Red Corvette to me goes without saying

We should create a separate one for B Sides

"Kiss"

That's some crazy, sick shtuff!!! razz

I'm sure "part 2" was an afterthought, but, he just careened the song and reworked it to make your head swim!

.

Prost!

Yeah, some of these definitely feel like the "real" version of the song, I couldn't imagine listening to the short version of Erotic City for example, the extended one feels much more complete imo. That's not always the case however, I barely ever listen to the extended version of Paisley Park despite it being one of my favourite Prince songs. Idk, it seems to me that all the added background noise and whatnot kinda distracts from the original tightness of the song, although I appreciate the added guitar work.

Its a tie between America & Mountains. They're both two of the biggest examples of why Prince & The Revolution were the baddest band in the universe in '85-'86. IMO. cool

You mean the "train" and "seagull" noises? lol

The guitar parts in the remix are nothing more than the solos behind the album version isolated and brought to the forefront. Taken out of context, so to speak. Still, goot shid!

.

Prost!
