17 Days I've been recently playing my Hits/B-Sides box set and I've finally got through the first two discs for the thrid time. Anyways, I haven't really been interested in the B-Sides disc that much, so I just decided to rotate it in my disc player for an hour or so and check it out a little more. I came across this tune called, 17 Days and it's becoming one of my favorite Prince B-Sides. This song is soooo funky, with its infectious beats and catchy lyrics. Has anyone heard this one? Check me out and add me on:

Ya This is a great tune, and i also have it a the real b-side ..... somewhere.
sorta funny that you say your not really interested in the b-side disk, when the box set came out, I paid $53 just so i could have that disk. I already had all the other songs( well not pope or pink cashmere).lol When I'm alone in my room..... | |

Naaa... it was fo' the B-sides. 17 Days I still love it now as I did when I first got it... 20 years ago. It will always be one of my fav Prince jams. | |

I remember hearing this song for the first time as a child back in '84. I was going through my older sisters 45s and I ran across When Doves Cry. After wearing out Side A, I was curious about 17 Days and decided to give it a spin. I really enjoyed it and I have grown to appreciate it more with each passing year. One of my all time favorite Prince jams. The guitar line alone is worth the running time and the lyrics are sheer genius too. 17 Days is soooo damn good.  | |

There are only a few artists that have put out a steady stream of mindblowing b-sides that were better than the majority of most musician's BEST album material. | |

oh and its nice to know that this tradition continues with the 'virtual b-sides' at npg music club.....especially 'magnificent' and 'united states of division'.....20 years later the guy still has his finger on the pulse!! | |

WTF. Shit, your parents were pretty uptight. My mom was pretty cool with P's stuff w/ the exception of Darling Nikki, International Lover, Do Me Baby. Other than that, my mom was cool with his stuff. Matter of fact, it was my mom that hipped me to P and bought the 45 single of I Wanna Be Your Lover in the 70's. | |
