Best singles/ep's?

What are in your people's opinion's, Prince's best cd singles or ep's?. Have most of the albums, just looking to delve a bit deeper into some quality remixes and b-sides. i have "Space"(great) and both "Cream" and "Beautiful Experience"(both not so great) already.

Gett Off with Violet The Organ Grinder and Gett Off Houstyle.

New Power Generation (the song) with Love Left, Love Right and more.

The Scandalous Sex Suite, 19 minutes excellent version of Scandalous.

7 with an acoustic version of 7.

I'll preach the brilliance of The Scandalous Sex Suite until the day I die. Perfection, and I love how it was his final product released in the 1980s. Totally worth that title cool

I agree with thedance too, Violet the Organ Grinder is great

Maybe eye do, just not like eye did before pimp2

Scandalous Sex Suite is just Prince and Kim Basinger going blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah for half an hour or something. Supposed 2 make U horny, just makes me wanna go 2 the toilet The song Sex is good, though.
The best maxi single imo is eye Wish U Heaven/Scarlet Pussy.

I'd also add to this:

Space (with Universal Love Remix and Acoustic Remix)

Cream maxi single (with Do Your Dance - cheesy but I like it)

I Hate U (with Extended Remix)

Oh and Gold/Rock & Roll's Alive (And it Lives In Mpls)/ eye Hate U (extended Remix) is another good one. The extended remix is actually a different version of the song with new lyrics. I have no idea if these CD singles are still easy to find!

I agree, I also love the Gold B-side, RnR Is Alive And Lives In Minneapolis, the video is hilarious.. with Prince in a winter suit/ jacket and with skiing mask.. eek

I Hate U is probably Prince's best song of the '90s.. I like the ext remix, but I still prefer the original album version though.. wink

Yeah it had CD and 12" single release. The remixes are all a bit lame but the "Big City Remix" version is really interesting, very different from the original with newly recorded rap verses from Prince.

A1 The Good Life (Platinum People Mix) 6:40
A2 The Good Life (Dancing Divaz Mix) 6:40
B1 The Good Life (Bullets Go Bang Remix) 5:14
B2 The Good Life (Big City Remix) 5:05
