God is Alive

I remember Prince playing this track during the Lovesexy tour and it seemed to be an essential track for this spiritual period in his career. Whatever happened to 'God iS Alive'? Did it ever emerge as a b-side or anything?
I'm testing postive 4 the funk

You know, most of "Prince Music" is crap to me. I don't particularly want anything I have heard of "maxi singles" or bootlegs,

BUT

When you listed that maxi single, I was like "OH DAMN!", I wonder if there are any on ebay.

Check out "Deposition."

There was also a version that was gonna appear on Mavis Staples' second Paisley Park CD but the song missed the cut, unfortunately.

Didn't Patti LaBelle record a version of this too?

I'm sure I read years ago - on the old Love 4 1 Another site confuse - a report that Patti had visited Paisley Park and recorded her vocals.

And - again, I'm sure I read this somewhere - that Prince had recorded several versions of this song with different singers. shrug

Boris???!

But I freakin' LOVE Mavis' version. worship

And that guitar... drool

Love it.

Deposition is a 3CD bootleg on Moonraker/Thunderball, same label as The Work (which succeeded the 'series' of bootlegs Deposition loosely belongs to).

It's about 10 years old.

stop tricking people! Stop the violence! There is a 12" remix of Lovesexy, never released... just like the 12" remix of eye no (which a snippet of is available on bootleg)

God is Alive (in two parts) (studio versions) is available on bootleg.
