Computer blue

So I guess my hopes of getting the full uncut version of the Prince and the Revolution track is out the window. Unless they have it in place of the 2015 paisley park remaster. Which wouldn't make sense since that was not how it was released. I guess I'm just griping because I would love to have it in a lossless format without flaws. The only ones I have heard have tape degeneration or bad hiss.

Hey, at least we're getting the Hallway Speech version...

Wait, what do you consider "full" and "uncut"? Any longer versions are usually missing a load of the vocals and just have a bit more jamming. I'd rather take the full song over an extra minute of feedback.

The hallway version is by far the superior version.

Is the Hallway Speech version the full version?

for me the best part is the "should I go to church on Sunday" part... i do not care too much for the Hallway...but I believe the 12 min one has both

There is a longer version.

Personally, I think the best version is 7 min version (the one that was going on PR album until Take Me With U came along. It packs more of a punch that the 12/14 minute versions and I can see why Prince settled with it as 'final' version until he had to edit again to fit the extra track on.

I believe it was the vocals with lyrics like "father father, were is the dawn father" and "on the verge of a breakdown, what is life without love...it's hell computer blue" and "Woman are not butterflies, they're computers too, just like you"

The version on Purple Rain is simply the 7.5 min version with the last 3.5 mins lopped off (with a fade edit). Then there was room to squeeze take Me With U on the Vinyl. So we lost all the lovely 'poor lonely computer' stuff.

Oh ok longer than the 14min version. I have so many I don't know what I have.

My go to for this song is the Syracus live, 83 First Ave, the 11:83min really raw, and the 7min when I need an adrenaline rush.

As least the world will get a longer version of this purple opus.

Yes the version that got edited down to make Take Me With U fit on the album. Don't get me wrong I love the Hallway Speech version. The only copy I have of this particular version is pristine but is a low quality MP3 which is actually hard to notice because whoever encoded it originally used LAME. This happens to be in 128kbps though.

I know what you're talking about. I've heard a 14min version with all lyrics + the 1.5 minutes of screeching feedback at the end. I think that's what WB edited out, which is a shame.

U fall in love 2 fast and hate 2 soon
And take 4 granted the feeling’s mutual

I've had so many different versions of this song over the years I've lost track of it all, what release(s) is this 14 minutes with complete vocals version on?
