Purple Rain song 'Wednesday"...

Despite my extensive efforts to collect the music, I have yet to run across this tune. For those of you who've heard it, what's it like? Slow, mid-tempo, or a rocker? Thanks.

Here's what Susan Rogers had to say about...
(taken from Uptown's Turn It Up 2.0)

"A little piano led piece that Prince was playing upstairs for quite a while before it was recorded.
He put a guide vocal on it, but it was going to be sung by Jill, who was madly in love with him in
the film. She would be sitting at the piano in the club after they had closed, playing this song,
'if you don't call by Wednesday..."

Thanks, Boris. I can't stand it that there is Purple Rain material out there that I haven't heard. Maybe one day, right?

As previously speculated upon, Uptown's 'The Vault' now indicates that 'Wednesday' is the same song that has previously circulated for some time as the piano outtake sometimes known as 'There's No Telling What I Might Do'

Do you mean "Electric Intercourse"? That's a great song, why did you get rid of it? sad
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
