POST HERE MF'ers...

If there was EVER a time when they are NEEDED its for this 3121...

Im nto really interested in any remixes with his music of today to be honest. Except for a guitar ravishing ending to Black Sweat and extended 3121.

But I miss them olden days of yore called the 80's remixes

I miss them alot. Growing up a Prince fan I guess I've become pretty spoiled. It's like an extra treat isn't it?

yep.

Yep.....Buying a 12" Single with a Remix Version was like a Christmas Day everytime for me !! Sure do miss them and moreso I miss all them gorgeous Picture Discs too.....

yes.i would definitely say that there are some remixes for 3121 overdue.

The 1980s 12 Inches were great because the songs didn't stray too far from the original. They were just longer and switched up a little within the song.

Most of the 1990s remixes sounded worse than the original so I really don't miss them anymore. I do miss the B sides though.

I sure fucking do. That "Let's Go Crazy/Erotic City" 12" spoiled me in high school. B-Sides from Prince was so cool back then. Songs like Alexa De Paris was just too cool. As a side note, I can't stop listening to "She's Just A Baby." That would have been a great B-side on something.

I know this is off topic, but damn, Guy's (u know, teddy riley's band from the late 80's) extended remixes were friggin' killer. Almost like whole new songs. Prince did that on "thieves in the temple" remix. That was like a whole new version almost.


On the "cream" maxi single, i put "do your dance" as a seperate song LOL. Love that song. Its silly and fun to dance to.

i miss the b-sides




















or the second song on a cd

last b side i remember was "rock n roll is alive" from "gold" single?

Am i right anyone? Good song that.

Exactly! I loved the fact that I'd be getting a new song on the 12", even if they were a longer version.

Extended Versions, B-Sides and Remixes are what completely spoiled us as Prince fans back in the day. Not only did Prince release a new album almost every year of his career, but from 'Sexy Dancer' to 'Gold,' we were gettin either an extended version of a song, a b-side, a remix or any combination of the above every 2-3 months!

While we don't get to see packaged CD singles w/B Sides much anymore, the virtual B-sides off the Musicology single made me feel like it was mid 80s all over again with 'Magnificent', 'Silver Tongue' and "United States of Division'

Yep, I sure do miss them. As a few of you have already said, the 90s remixes were not as good. Prefer regular extended versions any day.

Black Sweat def needs alonger version! I am justing getting into it when it cruely finisehes. There is a longer version of that song somewhere and I want it goddamit!!!!!

oh yes. eye definitely miss them. eye recall the xtended 'MOUNTAINS' 'I WOULD DIE 4 U', & 'HELLO' Remember the 3 versions of 'I WISH U HEAVEN' & the 'SCANDALOUS [SEX SUITE]'?. Absolute genius. C'mon Prince, get in the studio & pump out something loooong and funky from 3121. Eye'd love 2 hear an xtended/remix of 'BLACK SWEAT', 'SATISFIED', & 'BEAUTIFUL, LOVED, & BLESSED'

Yes.

Those 90's Maxi-Singles were a joy:

'Gett Off' with Violet the 'Organ Grinder'
'Cream' with 'Etheral'
'Space' with 'Universal Love' & 'Acoustic'

Even 'Come On' and 'Greatest Romance' maxi-singles had some bright spots on them.

I miss them greatly. They added a lot of spice and funk to album releases.

I lived for the 12"'s I still got them all. It was like new remix album when you had all of them combined with the b-sides.

it seems like the songs are "extended" but its TOO subtle.

Like LOVE has the end "club" section and BBB has the little funky tail end.

But thats all way too short.
