I Wish U Heaven / Scarlet Pussy
When Doves Cry / 17 Days

U got the look/Housequake
If I was your girlfriend/Shockadelica
Partyman*/Feel u up

They really suit eachother very well, it's all Camille! (*this is the Joker of course!)

But there are many singles with a/b-sides that really work as a whole,
like:

The most beautiful girl in the world/Beautiful
Purple Rain/God
Batdance/200 Balloons

1999/Little Red Corvette

If I Was Your Girlfriend/Shockadelica is the bomb diggity

WDC/17 Days

Lets Pretend/Irresistable Bitch

I Would Die/Another Lonely Xmas

1999/HCUDCM

Delerious/Horny Toad

Raspberry Beret/Shes Always In My Hair

Let's Go Crazy/Erotic City

Mountains/Alexa De Paris

When Doves Cry/17 Days
Kiss/Love or $
Gotta Stop/Horny Toad
Gett Off/Horny Pony

So used 2 cd's, it took awhile 2 remember some of them in a-side/b-side manner. Thanks 2 all those who posted before. And as with all things Prince, I could never choose just 1.

When Doves Cry/17 Days

Let's Pretend.../Irresistable Bitch

I Would Die 4 U/Another Lonely Christmas

1999/HCUDCM

Raspberry Beret/She's Always In My Hair

Let's Go Crazy/Erotic City

Mountains/Alexa De Paris

If I was your girlfriend/Shockadelica

Glam Slam/Escape

Alphabet St./This Is Not Music This Is A Trip

Anotherloverholenyohead (Extended Version)/Girls & Boys

Hmmm over here (UK)
its gotta be:
Paisley PArk / Shes Always In MYhair
When Doves Cry / 17 days
Let's Go crazy / Erotic Ciry
If I Was Your Girlfriend / Shockadelica
1999 / How Come u don't call me anymore

in that order

When Doves Cry / 17 Days
Rasberry Beret / She's Alway's In My Hair

All of his A-side and B-sides that you've listed above are my picks.

Lets Pretend/Irresistable Bitch

Perfect couple!

This is really a hard choice. So many good B-sides and couples indeed.
My top 5 of all above at this moment;

1 let's pretend/irresistable bitch
2 when doves cry/17 days
3 raspbery beret/she is always in my hair
4 kiss/love or money
5 mountains/alexa de paris

I like all the ones listed, and will also add

Gett Off/Horny Pony

into the mix. The songs go well together, and it was a neat way to see a song (Horny Pony) intended for an album, get replaced by another song (Gett Off) and then have them both end up on a single. Fitting.
