Prince's Best Extended Version?

Where does he make best use out of "expanding" a single?

I think "Thieves in the Temple" doesn't really kick in until the "extended" part; it's nice that you can see the extended video version on launch since I don't own that single.

Whatcha' all think is his best extended or 12 inch single?

there are so many on this one....

1)the snare drum break on the extended version of "america"

2)Sheila's 11 second timbale roll on the extended version of "i would die 4 u".not the one that's official.because it goes on longer after the fade.FUCKIN'INSANE! omg worship

3)Eric Leeds's saxophone break on "Scarlette P****" (extended).love it dancing jig

there's more i'm sure. cool

Is that a joke?! I think that this extended mix goes on way past its quota and goes absolutely nowhere!

Now "Kiss" or "The Max" (Extended version based on the Arsenio Hall taping) are contenders IMHO. nod

Couldn't agree more. I don't like the long version of "America" at all.

I love a lot of the extended mixes including:

Let's work
Pop life
Paisley Park
Partyman
I hate u
Face down

but the two that really stand out to me are:

Another lonely Christmas-the extra verse adds so much to the meaning of the song and the extended instrumentation is incredable. It adds even more feeling to an already heartfelt song. Absolute perfection!!

Most of all of you hit the jackpot on this one (in my opinion), especially the above thread:

I can nail mine down as follows:

- Always in My Hair - Pop, Cold-Funk masterpiece
- Let's Go Crazy - The song actually gets visual and is absoutely fantastic
- Another Lonely Christmas - See above.
- Mountains - Nice, funk with classical elements - A group effort
- Sexy Dancer - 1-man workout jam
- Let's Work - Same as Sexy Dancer

If we were to really go through the catelog we would find more because there are so, so many. But if in a record store with 30 seconds to grab what I wanted, I am going for those six listed above.

"Let´s go crazy" rocks...I like "Kiss" and "Another Lonely Christmas" a lot too...

But one of my personal faves is "Billy Jack Bitch"...great to hear the horns quoting Thelonious Monk´ "Well you needn´t"

I can say the same thing for "La, La, La, He, He, Hee".

Yes--I agree about the horns. I also think that the extended versions of "Pop Life", "Let's Go Crazy" and "Pop Life" are great.
