I know of an outtake called "Moral Majority".Other tunes I have heard about:

"Delivery Boy"
"Forever Mine"
"Friction"
"Gym Class"
"Hard To Get"
"Pizza"
"I Need A Man"
"Strange Way Of Saying I Love U"
"See U Dead"
"Heart Attack"
"Kiss Me Quick"

It's also rumored that "Extralovable" and "G-Spot" was intended for Vanity 6.

There's a circulating instrumental known as "Wet Dream Cousin" because of its similarity to "Wet Dream".

Strange that the group recorded all those tracks yet only 8 songs appeared on the album. Like what's the point? 8 tracks ain't enough.

Vinyl LPs had much shorter time limitations than CD, and these songs were recorded with that in mind. Extra songs were often considered for b-sides or for use on another project, the later being the case for many of these tracks.

Yep,I think Prince just decided to record a bunch of songs coming from a female's point of view.Some of these tunes were offered to other female artists,including Bonnie Raitt.Several tracks could have easily been recorded by Sheila E.,Jill Jones and others.
