Until a couple of months ago, same here! highfive

I'm shocked and appalled that no one's mention the "Gett Off" Remixes, and if I wasn't still pissed at Prince, for being a selfish twit. I'd gush all over this thread singing it's praises, but I am so I won't! hmph!

Hot Wit U - the dance version that was on an NPG Ahdio Show.

What's this 90s version of Something in the Water?

the shock-g remix of lovesign is way better than the original imo

i agree,the original is a bit too busy.i like that "pop,pop,pop go the pistol,bang,bang,bang go the gun" part though.and i like all the extended versions from the 80s(especially raspberry beret,little red corvette,shockadelica and let's go crazy).also,i've never been into "batdance" but i think the "batmix" is much better.

So Dark (from the Crystal Ball set)

I love both versions, but the Crystal Ball version gives the song that extra kick!

disbelief nah,the "come" version is better with the live feel and all.i think the remix kinda takes the life out of it.one of my least favorites from "crystal ball". biggrin

Vicki Waiting -- Yes, I'm the fool who always turns up Batman during the casino scene just to hear Prince kill that guitar solo. touched He should've released that...

Shockadelica -- for the same reason. I love that sped-up, fuzzed-out guitar solo stuff.

Absolutely Right! The original is a perfect "dark" poem. I love this song. The CB version is too slick and at odds with the rainy bitter cold themes.

I have to revist this thread because I missed the completely obvious one...

Partyman (Video Mix)!

Maybe more a straightforward Extended version than an actual remix, but still completely superior imho.

Sorry I forgot about the 2 classic mix collections,

firstly of the New Power Generation (including the amazing Get Off, Lubricated Lady, Loveleft Loveright). God those were better than everything on Graffitti Bridge put together!!

secondly, the Gett Off remixes, particularly "Violet the organ grinder", which in its own right as a song is one of his greatest songs of all time.

Glam Slam
I Wish U Heaven
Partyman (video version and purple party mix)
Scandalous Sex Suite
New Power Generation
My Name Is Prince (extended and edit, both. for some reason the album version just doesn't do it for me)


of course, i think most of the extended versions are better than the originals. but these are the ones that really make the songs into something i want to listen to, because they take the song to the next level.

Letitgo - Sherm Stick Edit. The song becomes so much darker and has a bite.

The only remisxe I think are better than the originals are:

So Dark
The Greatest Romance Ever Sold (Neptunes Mix w/Q-Tip)
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Most Beautiful Girl In The World (mustang mix). His lead vocals are much more raw & his harmonic arrangements & backing licks are just mindblowing!!!

& as a rule of thumb, all the longer versions of the tracks that remain true to the originals are always better coz u get the extra lyrics & instrumental jams.



I am DEFINITELY agreeing with U on this one! nod
"Gett Off (Houstyle)" is another of my faves along side TGRES (neptunes w/Q-Tip)

Glam Slam '91 is cool.. wait that became Gett Off didn't it? confuse DISQUALIFIED!
