That's the actual single version of "Gett Off" with the word "ass" edited out.

The reason why "Sexy MF" is uncensored is because there is no edited version. The version on the single sent to stores and stations is the album version uncut.

The censored song "Sexy Mutha" was later the b-side to "My Name Is Prince" and never a proper A-side like the other previously released songs on the compilation.

there is an edited version of sexy mf at least they had one they played here in cleveland it said you sexy mother ow lol


That is the song "Sexy Mutha", the b-side of "My Name Is Prince", not Sexy MF.

There is an edited version, as in clean version, of Sexy MF as bjt57 describes.

There is no edited version, as in shorter 7" version, of Sexy MF. (as far as I know)

Okay, I listened to my copy of "Sexy Mutha" again just to make sure and you're right, it's a different censored version of "Sexy MF" without the scream covering up the expletive.

But my original point was that 4Ever is a collection of A-sides whether they be commercial or promotional and the clean album version ("Sexy MF" - clean version) or shorter clean edit ("Sexy Mutha") of "Sexy MF" were never single A-sides so that's why a censored version of "Sexy MF" was not included on 4Ever while a censored version of "Gett Off" was.

Yes, I agree.

But I think the point of someone else in this tread was that if WB or Prince wanted to include clean versions, they had the chance to use the clean Sexy MF version, because they used some other album versions as well.

Anyway I have no problem with the clean Gett Off, I like the single version.

None of the other songs are album only versions. They all appeared on singles--or in the case of "Purple Rain", the 12" single--or were edited in a way to mimic the 7" versions like "Mountains" and "Let's Work", but none were exclusively album versions like the censored "Sexy MF".

Did anyone else notice on Prince4Ever that in "Gett Off," thw word ass is edited out of the song, namely "move your big a** round so I can work on that zipper baby." But in "Sexy MF," there doesn't seem to be any editing out of curse words or the word ass. Did anyone else notice this?

Censorship lives on even after Prince is dead disbelief

Why were the Ultimate masters of "Delirious" and "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man" used on 4Ever when everything else uses The Hits versions?

Just odd.

A lesser bother is "Paisley Park" being lifted from the original ATWIAD CD.

Hey that PR thread was perfectly lovely, what's the point of cramming this in with The Hit's comp?


the point is that everyone and their mother is going to see the headlines tomorrow
and come here to discuss the news - then they don't see the topic which is now all
but hidden - and start new threads.

i predict about 12 threads by tuesday. but she'll shut them all down, don't worry lol

at least change the original thread title confused

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

This is what I've been waiting for! Can't wait till June. Let's just be positive about what it could contain. No matter I'm buying it as soon as possible. It's good to have something definite to look forward to. 😁

Hits compilation (+ Moonbeam Levels) in November, PR Deluxe in 2017 - Part

These are not compilations nor is this about Moonbeam levels anymore so why isn't that part straightened out or is this about confusing everyone?


Heck my post wasn't about Purple Rain either.

"Two albums"?

I think they mean Two Discs, right?
