The rarest is the demo of Dolphin with dolphins doing backing vocals. I will only trade this with dolphins.

For all the people saying "Wally" is simply a re-working of "Billy's Sunglasses"...... You wouldn't say that if you'd heard the incredibly emotional second verse, or the guitar solo..... cool



There's this bit where he's talking about trying to pick up a girl and sings "and if I don't find somebody, somebody will find me".... the desperation and loneliness in this line breaks my heart.


In term of production not the Mood of course (even i think Wally is not a very very sad song)...the full version reminds me ... !

Prince - Adonis and Bathsheba

very cool long guitar solo with sax !

The rarest track I've ever heard is something called "Batten Down The Hatches", a loose soundcheck jam with members of Prince's band and Rick James' band recorded sometime during the 1981 tour. It's funky, LOUD, and loose with Prince and others trading verses/chorus. One of the lyrics was something like, "Push this down, we gotta get up! Batten down the hatches!".

I heard it on a raritities CD I listened to at a Japanese music store in Shinjuku, Japan circa 1990 or so. Even then I knew it was rare as hell but I didn't have the 5,000 Yen or so to buy the CD at the time.

Seems quite a few people have Wally.

I would like to know if this has been in circulation for years or if it's a recent leak to even the elite collectors, which is what I suspect going on questlove's tweet from last year.

Also would be good to know how long it is.

The best thing though would be if someone did the decent thing and shared it for us all to enjoy. Some of us are getting on a bit and might never get to hear it.

Same goes for the full Cosmic Day, we've waited long enough.

All you have to do is pass it on to us hard core orgers and ask we don't share it or talk about it. Just widen the elite circle a little. Just think how happy you could make us.

I feel the same way. I'm only (almost) 47, but many of my schoolmates and peers my age or even younger have passed on already. I just want to hear the shit, man. Life's short.

Wally.
It was because I'm sure that this song will be leaked in the near future! This was confirmed by The Revolution in a recent interview ....there is a full unreleased alternate instrumental version for WDC intended 1st for the film but no used and a longer unreleased version of WDC (not the bass version).....so 4 me these Trax are the Graal from The Vault!

If that is true then it is rather stupid of WB not to include those versions on the Purple Rain deluxe version. Still can´t believe that they´d rather fill one CD with radio and single edits instead of such rare gems. And some other PR outtakes should´ve been on it as well.

Ahhhh, well.....

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

47 and a bit here and honestly, if I'm never going to hear the songs, I really don't want to hear about them. Good for those that have them though, yay for them.

So a small circle of fans has very rare tracks and are not willing to share ? Why's that ? People here know I'm willing to help everyone who needs something. Done that already a couple of times. Don't understand why others won't share unreleased rare tracks with the rest of us.

Because if you have a million dollars and suddenly everyone else also has a million dollars, your million dollars won't be worth that anymore.

Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right?

Did the full version of "hard to get" with Prince vocals ever surface? I know there's a 30 second sample circulating


I want the '81 version to leak in full sooooo badly. That snippet is divine!

True but just like the million dollars,we can't take the unreleased Prince songs with us when we go to heaven so we mind as well share all we can

true for money but not for music if you're not planning to sell it. It's even rather sad to keep it just for yourself without a good reason. Isn't it nicer to share and talk about it? Or is it just to 'make up'?
