was listening to the title track on the album today and was trying to remember how many versions of this there were - I know there was one on the Nona Gaye beautiful experience film (whihc I love) - and I defo remember the live version he did at Wembley stadium in '93 after the long speech about bringing music direct to your living room etc but how many versions were there?

Only one version of that song is all that I own. Am I a poor Prince fan?

I would reckon most of us only own the one version but I think there were a few about at the time

There was an extremely long thread created by scifilmnerd about this particular song , I believe it was last year or so. There are many different versions of this song. The album version, the TV version ( Beautiful Experience ) , the outtake version(s) etc.
I quite like the album version, even though most people here prefer the outtakes over the released version but I really like his singing style and the soulful music in the released one. The only thing that I don´t like is the pussy licking sound in the song, sounds like he´s eating a fruit.It´s not really cool, IMO, and I would not play this song too loud or in front of my friends. Not because I´m prude but because it lacks style and class ( the pussy sucking sound, not the whole song).

I've only heard the original.

To my knowledge, there are only three versions - the album version, the more 'electro' sounding version as aired on The Beautiful Experience, and the original studio version, which is closer to the B.E version, only with live drums and bass etc.

There's 3 main versions of this track circulating. Though there are 3 variations
of the original unreleased version circulating...

Come (4:40) – unreleased early version (missing some lyrics and instrumentation)
Come (4:29) – unreleased Glam Slam Ulysses version
Come (3:15) – unreleased edit of the above

Come (3:17) – the Beautiful Experience version
(a more 'electro' remix of the above version)

Come (11:13) – the released album version
(completely different recording to all of the above)

.

Love the album version

This is one of them songs where he can get away with the horns section in it
(IMO )

I like the techno version.
