Printableok, here's mine:
Horny Toad: Listed to it the other day and it just blew my socks off. Clocked in just over two minutes... i was like screaming for more. Girl O' My Dreams: Another frantic Prince masterpiece, way too short. Abruptly ended, desperately in need of a couple of more minutes. 200 Baloons: My fave 'multi-layered' track, wish he gave this one a mega workout. There ya go. | |

I wish Prince had cleared his throat before he started recording 'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore'. Sad but true. You have to be kidding. | |

Alicia Keyes version of this song sounds like a demo track on a $20 Bontempi or Casio keyboard. Prince's raspy voice is part of the passion of the track, I couldn't hear it any other way  | |

I'd have to say the entire ATWIAD album. Pure greatness! it's WAY too short for me. needs to be longer!!! that's why I put a extended mix of the album together... "So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.

I hear you, guys, but I was trying to make a point about Prince's original version of 'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore' ending a little too soon, for these ears at least.
Which is what this thread is all about. I didn't mean to bring in Alicia Keys into this, for which I apologise. As for the song ending too soon, Susan Rogers, the recording engineer who handled the studio session when said song was recorded admitted as much when she pointed out that the take of the song actually runs for longer on tape, but the song was faded out afterwards... Undoubtedly,Prince's rendition of this is outstanding.That is until the very last few seconds when his discipline just went out the window - hence the frog in his throat during: "Why on earth... can't you just pick up the phone, yeah..." (he had had a few glasses of wine prior to the recording and was feeling a little bit tipsy during the session!) "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |
