Wally- the song only Susan heard

It is known that prince intentionally erased the track Wally after adding tons of instruments on the track and then himself erasing it.as a fan I will always wonder about this song I wonder if theres any lyrics on paper or recording no one knows about yet? Any thoughts?

The original version is lost - but it's well known that he re-recorded the song the next day. Earlier this year Questlove indicated that he had heard that version.

Although, he didn't specify that it was that version.

No, but it would have to be.

I don't think the notion that a mixdown exported to a DAT is totally out f the question.

Given the story Susan tells, that seems unlikely.

Except that DATS were introduced in 1987 and the track was recorded in 1986.

A cassette then? Or a 1inch tape. Either way, it could have been printed before deletion.
