As far as I know, the tracklist for the Ultimate Prince album is the same for all versions (eg. import & non-import)...none of them contain Erotic City in any form.

I have both the Australian and the US versions and they have the exact same tracklist which does not include Erotic City.


But gyro34, you should get it anyway...imho, it's totally worth it, since several of the songs on disc 2 were previously only available on vinyl or bootlegs.

cool

Agreed. It is worth it for disc 2 alone.

'Erotic City' doesn't feature on 'Ultimate Prince'.

It featured on 'The Hits / The B-Sides' in its shorter (3'55") format.

The longer version is sometimes referred to as the 'Extended Version', although it is the full version - the shorter being an edit of it. It has been released on German manufactured CD single (3" and 5" versions) backed with 'I Would Die 4 U (Extended Version)'. The 'Extended Version' on this release is referred to as 'Dance Mix'.

The latter was one of the singles which Prince considered was released by Warners without his agreement (and was named in the 'The Ways of the Pharaoh' episode).

Wonder why it says the release date is December 31,2025? That's one heck of a pre-order! biggrin
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

Thank you, Hokie1 and DevotedPuppy. Since the import version is pricier and has the same tracks, I am going to buy two copies of the US version. I missed out on the extended versions/remixes of many songs from the beginning of Prince's career up until 1999. So, it really saddens me that the decision whether to include Erotic City turned into a conflict between WB and Prince, and in the end us the loyal fans end up losing.

Thank you, Langebleu for letting me know what is the story behind the track Erotic City and the peculiar way WB labels tracks.
