Now that seems to be funky as hell!

Is it live a version or just live studio?

MikeMatronik said:

its studio

RumAndRaisin said:

yup, they used to play that at the berlin prince night parties too, along with the studio version of "sexy dancer/le freak" and i think there's also a re-recorded version of "kiss" too.

i really wish those recordings would be made available to us.

It's an early version of the Sexy MF Remix that wound up on the My Name Is
Prince single in 1992. That particular sample ended up being dropped from the
final mix and turned up a few years later on the Return Of The Bump Squad.

Thanks for the info boris!

I want the studio version of "Prince and the band"

MikeMatronik said:

that's right! they played that at berlin nightclub as well. he could put out a fun little e.p. with just those recordings.

Anxiety said:

Together with the acoustic version of Black Sweat he played on the Musicology tour!

Anxiety said:

I remember Rashida spinning the studio version of "Prince & The Band" and the new version of "Sexy MF" at one of the London aftershows. They sounded hot for sure.

Anxiety said:

The re-reorded kiss is from the versace experience 2006 isnt it?

ive got it, its got Around the world in a day, black sweat, kiss and black sweat
all re-recorded with late 2006 line up, no renato or shelby.marva, no horns either.

RumAndRaisin said:

yeah, i've heard the versace version and i don't think it's the same as what i've heard at berlin, though it certainly could be an edit from the versace medley or it could be from the same session that cranked out the versace recording. there's not a huge amount of difference in style between the two, as i recall.
