B-sides have often been a regular topic for discussion around here, but I couldn't help but to notice how often this particular track is overlooked. Just like 'Violet The Organ Grinder', it was not included in 'The Hits/ The B-Sides' and, despite not being a rarity, some people just continue to be oblivious to its existence.

And funky it is too, sounding like what Prince might have recorded during the vintage 'Dirty Mind' era had the technology been available then. Check that pulsating rhythm and the tasty choppy guitar at the end.

Any comments?

i seriously cannot stand this song at all!!!
i really think it is one of his worst songs. damn ugh!

I hate this bside too!!!

I've just selected it on new power radio. get back to you on this in a minute

I Love this song - it is funky, and cool, great song - should have been a single !

I LOVE that B-side!!! Always have! That's the b-side of New Power Generation, right?

Always loved it!
One of my fav B-sides.
The guitars at the end are funky as shit!

hey organ, were we separated at birth or WHAT??? i also can not STAND that song. ugh. lubricated lady...double ugh.

I had to go and buy a new plug for my turntable before I could listen to this track.

I'd completely forgotten what it was like.

And now I know why

Same goes for Lubricated Lady and Brother With A Purpose.

Loveleft, Loveright is easily my favorite B-side he has had. Incredibly funky!

I like it as well. I made my own Graffiti Bridge album by taking out the stuff by other artists and throwing in a couple of other songs including Loveleft Loveright. Certainly not the best b-side, but not a bad one.

There's a certain raw, unrefined power to that maxi. Most of the cuts one by one don't do much for me, but gets props from me as an EP in whole. The whole bit after the rappers melds into one cool jam to me, and capped with loveleft loverigt? Yeah.

i like it...but not my fave.

the best? come on now we're not here to make headlines.. But that freefunkinhabitfomin guitar at the end makes ya booty very happy.

Yeah that maxi-single made it a glorious time to be a Prince fan. I really miss a good maxi-single from Prince. Like little mini-albums.

Can we safely assume opinion is divided over this one, then???

i've always liked that one,too.

I've forgotten what "Loveleft Loveright" sounds like...lol...I'll have to pull it out and listen to it again.

I haven't a clue about this one. I hate feeling left out.

Hmmm...I think it´s the most shitty B-side...sounds really like throwaway stuff...the kind of thing he composes and arranges in 10 minutes...
The whole New Power Generation maxi-single is very weak IMO...I dont listen to it in a looong time

loveleft, loveright is cool,but, what about Horny Pony,Sex (from japanese scandalous sex suite) and ,my all=time fave Erotic City?

What about the pouty look on his face in the cover photo?
Here we are! The New Power Generation!
and on the cover: Prince's pout!
It's funny (or maybe no so funny) how he pouted his way all the way through the Grafitti Bridge film.
Anyway, Loveleft/Loveright, still one of my fav B-sides.

Yeah that song is one of my favorite b-sides as well..

I wasn't that crazy about this song.Sounds like just a throwaway jam that he wanted to release.The remixes for "New Power Generation" weren't too inspiring,imo.
