I would guess it would be the "Just as Long as We're Together (Disco Mix)"/"Soft and Wet (Disco Mix)" 12-inch promo single.

I hope you didn't buy that @ £35.

I know the 3" versions are rarer than the 5" versions of these re-issues, but I don't even think the 3" ones are worth £35. Once upon a time you could find these in any high street music store.

Remember when chains like HMV and Virgin had rows and rows of older singles? I remember picking up a copy of the Lets Pretend We're Married 12" in a Virgin Megastore and this was only about '96/97. Now they barely even stock the singles in the charts, never mind older ones! lol

It's not particularly rare, just expensive.

No I paid about £2.99 way back for it in '89. That was a lot for a cd single in Ireland, In Waterford back then. Actually I can't believe that the shop actually stocked Prince. I bought everything they stocked.
