It's one of my favorite Prince songs. His vocals are so amazing on it, and he sings with so much emotion.

Fuck, I gotta go listen to it right now.

How has it remained unreleased officially? Prince is mental.

There's over a dozen tracks that I think Prince should be arrested for not releasing officially.

Allegiance being another of them.

True. It's better to be appreciated for your art when you're alive. He should get this stuff out there to fans, even if limited release and with not much fanfare. Casuals can bandwagon jump later.

Maybe he's stubborn, hates or is jealous of his most creative period or or doesn't care anymore, but roger me if there aren't diamonds in the vault! Where's my Crystal Ball II in sexy, HD supersound?

The best was in the song F.U.N.K. where Prince says "…well, it may not be 'The Grand Progression', but it sure is funky…"

It was intended for the Graffiti Bridge movie,but it was replaced by "Still Would Stand All Time".I think Prince made the right decision."The Grand Progession" is nice,but a little too draggy.

Jeez louise! 'The right decison'? To each their own I suppose. It must be at least a minute shorter in reality though. And it's not shit like half the 'Graffiti Bridge' album is either.

Ryde Divine is out there too, but The Grand Progression is much better.

I think datdude is actually thinking of "The Divine," which Prince mentioned in a few interviews with claims that it was too good for people to deal with. And I don't think anyone's heard it--at least not that I've ever seen anyone report.

That's it, Aethelherring, I knew I hadn't imagined that. The Divine. I love SWSAT so if GP is as good, it'll be worth the search

That's good news, maybe he'll release it then.

Or did they break-up because she admitted to owning bootlegs?

It is phrased as a not-all-too-serious question.

Apparently Questlove could tell Prince 'Moviestar' was his favorite song and he wasn't killed.

I'm just hoping that if enough sexy women appeal to his ego by praising bootlegs, he'll open the vault before he is dead (and me too, probably.)

Agree. Never really liked The Grand Progression, I'd take Still Would Stand All Time over it every time

The Grand Progression is way to experimental in its minimalism and non pop melody to have fit in the movie or album with all those other pop songs. I have this funny feeling that if it was the other way around and Still Would Stand All Time was the bootleg, you ALL would be flipped in what you write.

The Grand Progression sounds a bit retro Vangelis. I do like it.

My favorite outtake by far. Only been waiting on a legit cioy since I first heard it in the mid-90's or so. So only 20 years of Prince doing anything and everything, and making excuses about not releasing the good music.
