In A Large Room With No Light/ Can I Play with U? / GO (best quality version)

Has a really good sounding copy of In A Large Room With No Light ever surfaced?

The version I have is better than what was available years ago but it is still a bit rough sounding. I was wondering if i'm missing out on a copy with sound comparable to other tracks from this period, such as Train, Teacher, Teacher, Splash, Adonis and Bathsheba etc.

There are 3 tracks from this period that for me fall a short of what I would consider very good, Large Room, Go and Can I Play With U? They stick out as inferior when put in a playlist with the other tracks.

Also anyone heard Go yet from the new blast set, is it any different than the kinda rough sounding version leaked on perfect unreleased Prince?

the 6:28 version of "Can I Play With U?" that started circulating some years ago
is very good quality.

i believe it was intended for inclusion on a miles box from warners but i don't
think it was included in the end. it's circulating though and it's a lot better than
the old, shorter version.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I think the longer version is missing a lot due to the excessive noise reduction, and I am not able to hear the full dynamics and mids in that version. I'm waiting for an untampered version to leak.
until then i'll pretend this fuchsia light is god...

I have the longer version, and it is a lot clearer than the shorter version but i think it still suffers from distortion.

In A Large Room With No Light - the version included on Cosmos (disc 2) is the best I've heard.

Go - is there a better quality version circulating besides the MP3 that was part of "Perfect Unreleased Prince #2"?

This is the version that was on Blast From the Past 1.0, correct?
