I left off Let's Go Crazy cos I have that on my homemade Prince: The Movie Disc

it would simply include only the full versions of songs like

anotherloverholenyohead
shockadelica
erotic city
she's always in my hair
feel u up
little red corvette
kiss
let's go crazy
pop life
raspberry beret
paisley park
i wish u heaven
scarlet pussy
escape
another lonely christmas
thieves in the temple


plus a couple of hit singles and perhaps two well known songs
in longer versions. like perhaps Girls & Boys in an unknown,
extended version.

that would be the coolest.

Hello,

The ultimate would be most of the A and B-side singles releases in their full length versions,plus a few extras.

I know there is an extended version of Horny Pony somewhere.

There could be a CD collection just of the full length versions of the single releases, or maybe a box-set.

Maybe Rhino will do a "sequel"?

And don't forget "God (Instrumental) Love Theme from Purple Rain"!

sexy dancer 12"
let's work 12"
little red corvette 12"
let's go crazy 12"
another lonely christmas (long version)
raspberry beret 12"
pop life (sheila e. mix)
paisley park 12"
she's always in my hair (long version)
girl (long version)
kiss 12"
love or money (long version)
alexa de paris (long version)

as much as i love "america" and "mountains" 12" versions, i'd leave 'em off to make space for more music...maybe put 'em on a promo e.p. or something.

also, i realize this only goes up to 86, but that could open the door for a companion release of 12" cuts from 87 to present.

they're cool and all, but both could make room for 3 songs each
so i would rather have some more songs instead of just those 2.

Please tell me where you guys are able to buy cd-rs that are longer than 80 minutes.

Clubkid said:

Ebay. I've found 'em there.

and give up my source? never!

Although they can be really fussy. Even thought they're listed as 100 minutes, I've only been able to burn up to 94 and a half. When I first got them, they were working great. But now, I can't get them to complete without errors or clicking all through the last several tracks. I always read that they're experimental technology and to use at your own risk. They've been known to ruin cd burners and entire computers.

A couple of summers ago I digitized all of my Prince and Paisley Park stuff that was still only available on vinyl and made the 4-disc set listed below. I also threw in what was available on CD with the goal of making it a (mostly) complete remix/b-side collection. Of course certain things had to be sacrificed (i.e. the 22 minute version of "America") and I left off a lot of the later DJ mixes.

Anyway, here's what MY Ultimate Prince has on it...

DISC 1
Let's Work (Dance Mix)
Gotta Stop (Messin' About)
How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore

Erotic City (Dance Mix)
I Would Die 4 U (Extended Version)
Another Lonely Christmas (Extended Version)
God (Instrumental)
God (Vocal)

DISC 2
Paisley Park (Remix)
Raspberry Beret (New Mix)
She's Always in my Hair (Extended Version)
Pop Life (Fresh Dance Mix)
Hello (Extended)
Girl (Extended)
Kiss (Extended Version)
Love or Money (Extended)
Mountains (Extended Version)
Alexa de Paris (Extended Version)
Anotherloverholenyohead (Extended Version)

DISC 3
La La La He He Hee (Extended Version)
Shockadelica (Extended Version)
U Got The Look (Long Look)
Housequake (7 Minutes MoQuake)
Hot Thing (Extended Remix)
Alphabet St (This Is Not Music This Is A Trip)
Glam Slam (Remix)

I would buy that in a heartbeat.

Why does everyone like that Sheila E remix of "Pop Life"? Throw that away and use the U.K. extended version instead!

sextonseven said:

i like 'em both pretty much equally, so okay.

i've only heard the sheila e mix:(

Anx said:

What made you choose the Fresh Dance Mix? Short on space?

sextonseven said:

no. i'm just more familiar with it, and the UK mix is good, but it never really impressed me so much that i'd opt for it over the sheila e. mix. i do like both pretty much equally - it's just that the US 12" brings back more memories for me, i guess.

Anx said:

same here.

GangstaFam said:

Me too but I would also added Computer Blue Extended and Sexy Dancer extended.

dewalliz said:

Of course, "Computer Blue"... but wouldn't it be better on a "Purple Rain Special Edition Remastered" ? With studio reharsals, the missing bits of TBO, Darling Nikki, Purple Rain... G-Spot and Dance Electric extended sung by Prince... drool drool drool

GangstaFam said:

I got both of them within a few months of each other in 1985-86 so for me, one isn't more nostalgic than the other.

Disc 1: Ronnie Talk To Russia

Disc 2: Ronnie Talk To Russia (Iggnant Mix)

HobbesLeCute said:

i just know that some of y'all are gonna look for this on ebay

Wow — almost forgot...

Delirious, extended version... or is it an alternate ? Anyway the bkg vocals are stunning on this one.

dewalliz said:

The goal here was to stick with offical releases. And of course a few things had to be dropped for time. "Sexy Dancer" and "Electric Chair" were probably the hardest to let go.
