"She's Just a Baby" LOST CLASSIC

This song kills me. So good! I would love to hear a piano version or a new master of it.

Yeah I agree. Shame it was never released officially. And for some reason, I could always envision The Time singing it. It seems like it would have been a good fit on one of their 1st 2 albums. It wouldn't have been out of place next to one of their other early ballads like Girl or Gigolos Get Lonely Too.

Out of all the leaks over the last 2 years, my favourite is the clearer sounding version of this great song, even though it fades early.

You're right! Morris can do this one!

Nice drums and great guitars and keys on that version. Damn nice guitar!

Nice track indeed, especially the version that fades out. I suppose this is the 1991 revisited version? (boot says 1981 but that would be the initial version then?)

According to Princevault: yes:

She's Just A Baby is an unreleased track recorded in early 1981, most likely at Prince's Wayzata Home Studio, Wayzata, MN, USA. The track is a soft ballad with falsetto vocals. The lyrics point to the narrator's love for a young girl. It is likely the song refers to Prince's relationship with Susan Moonsie, who was only 16 at the time they began dating.

Prince worked on the track further in early 1991 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA, and it was submitted for copyright on 18 March 1991. It's possible that Prince revisited the track because of his burgeoning relationship with Mayte, who was 16 when they met the previous year. Prince ultimately used the same lyrical themes in The Morning Papers, recorded in early December 1991.

I agree. It's just as bad.
