Let's Work 12"

just to hear him singin' "I'll work u baby, till u're soft and wet!"
funky ass song!

Probably the video of '4 the tears in your eyes'. Only shown once on TV. But maybe loads of people have this.
Not really an obscure song though.

We're talking official, okay, so my picks must be:

Lemon Crush - because of the break with the "do me, baby" with multi-layered Donald Duck voices more weird than any Camille track.

Crystal Ball - because of the eerie atmosphere, the shift in tempo and the cool vocal work by P and the girls, - and the bongos, don't forget the bongos!

Something In The Water Don't Compute - because if you play that for a non-Prince-fan, he wouldn't know what to say ot think!

I Wonder U - because of the drumming and the extremely original use of a full scale orchestra.

Life Can B So Nice - some of the most obsure and psychedelic lyrics in Prince's production. And it's got a mean cowbell, too!!

"Do U Lie". I LOVE the whole French thing.

'Camille' - I know someone who's cousin's friend's brother's girlfiend once saw it on a limited edition bootleg called 'Hen's Teeth'.
it's so rare nobody's even sure if it exists (the title, & some of the lyrics are mentioned in the original 'Grafitti Bridge' screenplay). How rare is that!
Of course I don't have a copy... & I've never heard it, but I'm sure it's the best thing he's ever written (though, it could be a pile of monkey-doo, how would Eye No).

The opposite of NATO is O-TOWN

Hmmm... I've got some pretty obscure stuff. Let's see.

Letter 4 Miles
Wow
Allegiance
Open Book
The Voice
Player
Feel Good
Prince's version of I'll Never Be Another Fool
Something Funky (This House Comes)
Original edits of Come, Endorphinmachine, an extended remix of 18 & Over...
Prince's version of Manic Monday
2 early versions of Kiss

Some of his really early stuff 2

Leaving 4 New York
I Miss U
Donna
A very early version of Irresistible Bitch
Turn It Up

Okay, I could be sitting here all day if I don't stop myself. God Dammit am I obsessed with this man's music!

Well, if we're talking official stuff, I'd have 2 say it's

I WISH U HEAVEN, PT I, II & III.

That jam is sickfunky. And it just goes on&on&on&on&on....


"Fishtail!"

1) Go. Just because the rehearsal and demo both have so much potential. It begs to be reworked with the Revolution.

2) Moonbeam Levels. Again, just because it deserved to be on an album, but didn't fit on 1999 with "Free" already on there. Both of these tracks would be fantastic if he reunited with Wendy and Lisa to actually do the "Roadhouse Garden" CD. Alas...probably never happen.

If you're talking UNofficial stuff, it'll probably be a little album's worth of material:


01. The Rebirth Of The Flesh
02. Wonderful Ass
03. Old Friends 4 Sale
04. All My Dreams
05. Others Here With Us
06. Moviestar
07. A Place In Heaven
08. Crucial
09. Can I Play With U?
10. In A Large Room With No Light
11. Eternity
12. Teacher, Teacher
13. Crystal Ball


All of which would b the original versions, not the edited stuff that ended up on CB. Imagine, playing Jam O The Year in BG on Moviestar. AAAAARGH. BLASPHEMY.



Don't U just love making tracklists?

I just love the original Come/Endorphinmachine/Space sequence, all segued together. Always wanted to get a studio copy of it, but only ever heard it as audience playback.

my tracklist 4 your consideration

Crystal Ball
Free (from 1999)
All The Critics Love U in New York (a funky jam from 1999 to give U that purple high)
Strays of the World (from Crystal Ball)
Crucial (from Crystal Ball)
When 2 R in Love (come bathe with me... can't get that line out of my head sometimes)
Poor Goo (for when U just need to hear some mean guitar)
Computer Blue 12" (non stop screamin...)
New Position (has that reggae steel drum feel that's catchy)
Eye No
The Morning Papers
Just Another Sucker (...the original demo that got him in the business--used to play this all the time till the cassette melted )

there are more I like but my brain is turning to mush...too many to list...AAAAARRRGH!!!!

dammit - just when i thought no-one was going to mention all the critics... i love that song.

how about temptation? or bob george? or blues in C (if i had a harem) (from Lovesexy concert video). all cool and strange in their own ways.

"Revolution! Get on the bus! Don't worry 'bout me don't worry 'bout us!" -- (I hope that's right heh heh)
