somebody better capture the audio. I don't have X, so I'll just have to wait until it starts doing the rounds.

Just managed to listen to it on X, and I think it's "Lonely Town" ?

Anyway, nice to hear a part of the original version nod

Here I was, blown away at the 1 minute 30 seconds of it she posted on Instagram, just to learn she posted that longer snippet on the social previously known as Twitter!

I think it's interesting that he tried to keep it as close to the original as possible when converting to Vicki Waiting, even parts that might have been considered throwaway, like "uh-huh, uh-huh..."

He must have been really happy with it.

One notable difference (if I'm hearing it right):

Vicki Waiting:
"Until then, she's held at bay by my animal-like persistence"

Anna Waiting:
"Until then, I'm held at bay by my Anna's persistence"

I wonder if there's another version in the Vault because NS claimed in 2005 that it was New York in this thread: https://prince.org/msg/7/128429

He also said Anna Waiting wasn't the original first recording because he shared a sample of a earlier version to some. Same with the alternate lyrics verion of Pink Cashmere.
I lovce the vocals on Anna Waiting.
Checked some old notes and the earliest version is said to be a 'appology song' for someone (other than Anna) going by the lyrics and is from early 88

This is fascinating. I've always said Prince was an expert at recycling himself (reworking old songs, sampling himself, using single tracks from the multitracks for a new song, etc.). Witnessing him going through that process, from "Anna Waiting" to "Vicki Waiting" is fantastic (pun intended).

I agree about the vocals on Anna Waiting. I feel there's more passion in them. I also think the way the guitar is mixed gives it more power.
