ooh that's a great idea!

now you're getting me sucked into this whole era again. i just know
that i'll be making alternate come/gold experience playlists all of
the weekend again lol.



somehow i always felt that if come would have had a more gripping,
shorter lead off song and a more defined album closer, it would be
much more highly regarded by folks.

even if he'd closed it with Strays of the World. at least it would
have had a decent end. Orgasm just ruins the momentum the album's
been building up to. it leaves you feeling very much unsatisfied..

plus with the long version of Come as an opener it is demanding on
the listener to sit through it. a short, kick ass opener would do
a lot to rectify that. for instance Interactive or such.


Interactive
Come
Space
What's My Name?
Pheromone
Loose
Papa
Lovesign
Dark
Da Bang
Race
Solo
Letitgo
Strays Of The World


something like that. although that has a few flaws as well. i'll have
to think about it some more at home.

Which shows are you used to that medley from?

It was the encore of the 94 Act II tour in Europe. Saw him perform it a few times. The Come beat would come on, pounding in your tummy. Then Prince would recite the lyrics to What's My Name and then it would kick off into the Come/Endorphinmachine medley.

I just realized what the single cover looks like -

I don't like that album too much

"Heaven, Youth Hell" and "Grassroots" are so dreamy.

Include 18 & Over too, since that started as a Come remix when he was considering it as a single release. Then the maxi-single even has a b-side of sorts (kind of like Escape was to Glam Slam).

Yup, I need 18 & over on CD. I remember seeing the VIdeo at Glam Slam store in Uptown MPLS.

This would have been great. The SPACE maxi single was great...universal love Need I say more? Letitgo was a good maxi also.

you do know that it was released on the 1998 "Crystal Ball" box, right?

IstenSzek said:

edited.

lolz. i know. but the un-edited version just keeps going and going
and going without ever really ending up anywhere anyway

wait... what's the techno dance mix edit? dunno that one, and I have heard everything circulating.... have I forgotten something?

you've heard it. it's the one i privately call the "gotham" mix. lol.

it's just the electronic version, the more upbeat dance one.


say, is that version that mixes both the dance version and the album
version authentic?

i had this version, i think it was broadcast on dutch national radio
from the "5.000.000 dollar dat-tape" back in 1994 and it was first a
few minutes of the electronic mix, then an interactive like break and
then the part of the album version that starts at the cool horn stuff

it also started with this whole


when the fire comes will everyone burn?

IstenSzek said:

I totally know the version you mean. I'm not sure what's up with that one.

Gonna have to suss it.

i know. that's such a weird version. i'm sure i still have it somewhere
but whenever i search for it i just give up halfway through since there
are just too many stacks of cdr's lying on my livingroom floor by that
time

In answer to the original question...

'Come' was indeed intended for a single release
and there were many versions and remixes made of it
(the majority of which are not circulating)
But like so many things 'The Come Experience' was
shelved, '18 & Over' was intended for it, plus
the club mix too (the edit of which was used in
The Beautiful Experience TV special).

gangsta u did not include that version that leaked 2 years ago from the boot Outtakes 93-94...it's excelent

MikeMatronik said:

I think he did: "glam slam ullyses" version... whoops on that spelling.... oh well...

ufoclub said:

I think It's the first song of that boot...it's segues into the early version of Chaos & Disorder (Rosie-less version) or Endorphinmachine, if my memory is still working.

But I've lost that boot when my hd died!

I think that's the exact one played on the Glam Slam Uylsses show. It's the live band one, the first version.
