man, if prince would release this one ('81-'82 version) then i think it would be a guarenteed hit. jeez, what a song.. it's weird that some of the other outtakes didn't end up on albums. some are truly good songs..

I love that song, haven't heard the version your talking about. It'd be great if he played that live, prolly never happen though. I'd love to hear him play The Dance Electric, that song augmented with horns would kick serious Arse!

didnt jeese johonson do that.it was phat when he did it have'nt heard prince do it sure its nice.catchy tune.

would b nice 4 andre cymone 2 put out an album because his shit was actually very nice and well produced and the amazing thing is it did not sound like prince he had his own sound which i though he would not b able 2 do hanging with p all those years would love 2 hear from this cat where the fuck is he?

I agree about Andre doing some new tracks. Jesse too. Imiss those guys.

A hit? HAH! Maybe back in '82, it would've been.

Some of his best songs are outtakes.

or B-sides. He has no clue what he should release sometimes.

Prince didn't write "Do Yourself a Favor" so it is very, very doubtful that it will ever be released. It was written by pepe willie. I don't think that they are on very good terms so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this to be released.

If you hear the original (94 east) Jesse transformed it on his Shockadelica album. I think Prince was in envy of Jesse's minor success and recording skills and tried to gate crash. Firstly, Prince tried to offer Jesse a title track on an already working title, but jesse declined. Prince put it out anyway to piss him off.

One think can't be denied. "Black In America" ruled"
