i just heard this a few days ago and have had it on non-stop since. the studio version is a classic for sure, but i'm really feeling this version alot right now. the guitar and sheila on the drums . seriously, so cool. the background vocals and everything, such a spirited rendition. i the sott/lovesexy band. this is awesome, even with the motherfucker part edited out.

Totally agree with every word u say here.

def...anyone know where this was from and is there more of it?

i wanted to ask the same thing. sounds like an awesome rehearsal.

i dont know this one but it sounds cool!(if anyone can discuss this ahem... via notes it would be appreicated lol) you need some billy's sunglasses rehearsal.its really good!

This was arranged so hard and funky ! I wish it had been an aftershow staple (included on the Small Club boot in an alternate performance universe)

This is an awesome version. I particularly like it when the guitar solo comes in, the feed back sounds beautiful as it just rises to the fore in time to introduce that sick solo. Prince is in good spirits too, for instance when he calls out some of the the band for mising the cue to sing - "thats right, we say it LOUD" or when the song is through he can be heard to say "Good!.. pretty good"

never heard it still to this day. Its a damn shame too because ti is released

It has the same clean sound as the Lovesexy rehearsels that are circulating, but it could just as well be the SOTT rehearsels. So it is 87/88.

I edited off the weird banter at the beginning though. And I still prefer the studio version.

excuse my ignorance but where could one get this from

It was labeled as "Rebith of the flesh rehearsal 88"
But that still doesn't say anything

You can hear someone (Levi?) say 'Domo arigato' so I'd say it was a rehearsal for the Japanese leg of the Lovesexy tour late '88 or early '89.

It has NOTHING on the original Camille track.

Dayum, that, to me, with Databank and Chocolate and Do Yourself A Favor, is my most wanted track I want in GOOD quality.

I wish I could spank Prince for holding onto that.

AND All My Dreams AND Wonderful Ass AND IN A Large Room With No Light.

Dayum, Prince; U a fool. Locking up them tracks.

Now that i think about it you can hear thar "Wally Brooks - that raccoon hat wearing guy"
Yelling in the back ground

So it might be s Sign of the times Rehearsal
