i was listening to Witness for the prosecution during my lunch that he had on his ipod and that is prince being completly rock mode. He is rocking out and it is great. It could be something you would imagine a top rock group doing. Class song. I cant wait for the others

Fair mix of the good, bad and the ugly there.

Standouts are Empty Room, All Day All Night, I Wonder, In A Large Room, Witness, Make It Through The Storm.

A decent mix of eras for a compilation, but there aren't many of the most well known/loved out-takes there, maybe you have those already?

It is funny to think of some of these songs as rare, since I listen to some of them all of the time.
Schoolyard is one of my 5 favorite songs. I also love Large Room w/.., Allegiance, Witness, If I love u tonight, and I Wonder. Most of the rest of them are pretty good.

Here are some other rarities you might want.
Moonbeam Levels
Five Women
Do Yourself a Favor
Baby Go-Go
Can I Play with You
Neon Telephone
Electric Intercourse
Desire
All My Dreams *Must have
Big Tall Wall
Cookie Jar
Horny Pony
Sex
Your Love is So Hard

Allegiance- cool song i prefer prince's version 2 howard hewitt's

The P- it's a fun song if u don't take it so seriously

The Grand Progression- good song took a while 2 grow upon still would stand all time is better imo

I cant love u anymore- very sad song but put in the context of the movie i'll do anything it fits

I hear your voice-love this song tho prince singing about buying a new dress and putting it on will make u go eek

Never b another fool-again like i hear ur voice it's better sung by a female

the rhythm of your heart-very similar 2 the released version by mayte unless this is the jevetta steele version

my pony-boring!!! is this what he could give george clinton? come on!!

the ball-if u have heard eye no then u'll recognize the music 2 this song

school yard- I LOVE THIS TUNE!!! rosie is on point! the storyline is on point!!

poor little bastard-damn u part 2

can u come outside and play-it's a song that takes a while 2 grow upon u

i wonder-HE NEEDS 2 RELEASE THIS FUCKING SONG!!! heart

in a large room with no light- one of the best if not the best revolution type song unreleased

feel better feel good feel wonderful-i'm still waiting 4 the whole song 4 this

dance with the devil-masterpiece!!!

work that fat-BOB GEORGE 2 THE NEXT LEVEL IN COMEDY

witness for the prosecution-each version of this song is cool

all day all night-better getting jill jones version of this

make it through the storm-very cute song

wouldnt you love to love me-taja sevelle paisley park mix is the one u need 2 hunt down

if i love u 2nite-as long as it's prince on vocals it's cool

u-it's a rockier and either prince's version or paula abdul's version is cool. however prince's version includes "u cause a man 2 rape" line eek

empty room-MASTERPIECE!!

2020-very serene tho the lyrics don't match the lyrics
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Allegiance - released by Howard Hewett - P's is better
The P - offered to Tevin Campbell - Prince trying to rap LMAO
The Grand Progression - would have been great on the Graffiti Bridge CD
I cant love u anymore - from I'll Do Anything OST - pretty good
I hear your voice - released by Patti Labelle - P's is better
Never b another fool - released by Chaka Khan - Prince's version is more raw
the rhythm of your heart - released on Mayte's CD - both versions are good
my pony - w/ George Clinton - not bad
the ball - fun litle track - from original version of Crystal Ball
school yard - not bad
poor little bastard - evolved into "I Hate U" - good track
can u come outside and play - also known as Play - great outtake
i wonder - good little track
in a large room with no light - yes, yes
feel better feel good feel wonderful - full version doesnt exist that I know of
dance with the devil - great outtake from the Batman era
work that fat - too funny
witness for the prosecution - which version? lol
all day all night - great outtake, released by Jill Jones
make it through the storm - great early track by the man
wouldnt you love to love me - again, which version?
if i love u 2nite - released by Mayte - P's is good too
u - released by Paula Abdul, originally titled "You" - better by P and Gayle
empty room - several versions exist so pick one
2020 - good outtake from Emancipation by prince and Mayte

IMO most of these should have been released by P. If you want a suggestion on rare tracks, you can orgnote me

empty room- lyrics that come from the anger and frustration from a lost love. you could feel his pain from the emotion and lyrics of that song. BRILLANT!!
all day, all night- the spoken tone with the revolution from the PR era.. very funky indeed
Moonbeam levels-very emotional in the same vein lyrically as 1999. i hope he releases this someday.

I have now got 51 songs to sit and go through to put onto my already bulging prince playlist on my ipod. I cant wait. It is no doubt going to take me a while because what i normally do is put them all onto a seperate playlist to listen to during the day. And i also put the CD on and listen all through the morning and certain songs stick out when on in the background and its those that get first choice. And then on later listens coming back to a cd it is then that i start to pick up on other random tracks.

I am so excited and looking forward to going through all this it is going to be such a happy time in my home for the next few days!

Does anyone else have that feeling with Prince music when you discover more?
