Well, we all know the track list by now for this unreleased gem which is so much better than the released Come album from 1994, but just in case, here it is again:

: Come (29 May 1993)
- date mentioned in Mayte’s fax to Controversy #42, track list by BorisFishpaw

TRACK LIST NO LONGER VALID. See bottom of the thread.

Sounds like a really great album, right? But seeing how it hasn't been bootlegged in its entirety, how do you get to hear it?

Well, don't worry. It is possible to piece it together from various sources. Here's what you need to get started:

Peach and Pope were officially released on The Hits 2.
Interactive was officially released on Crystal Ball.
And Papa and Solo were officially released on the 1994 Come album.

So far, so good, but for the rest of the tracks, you need bootlegs:

Come and Endorphinmachine are on Outtakes 1993-94.
Poem is on Neon (as Orgasm).
Pheromone (without the Poem-intro from the official release) can be found on Now and Come 11 March 1994.

As for the rest, Space, Loose!, Race, Dark and Dolphin, they are still only circulating as Glam Slam Ulysses recordings with audience-noise. Oh, well. Anyway, those can be found on Silver, but you need to shorten Space from 5:37 to 5:30 when you burn it.

You have all that? Good, then burn it like this:

1. Come (4:49) - from Outtakes 1993-94
2. Endorphinemachine (3:51) - from Outtakes 1993-94
3. Space (5:30) - from Silver
4. Interactive (3:03) - from Crystal Ball
5. Pheromone (4:23) - from Come 11 March 1994/Now
6. Loose (3:23) - from Silver
7. Papa (2:48) - from Come
8. Race (4:03) - from Silver
9. Peach (3:48) - from The Hits 2
10. Pope (3:29) - from The Hits 2
11. Dark (6:26) - from Silver
12. Solo (3:48) - from Come
13. Dolphin (4:57) - from Silver
14. Poem (3:30) - from Neon

...And then listen to it!

Isn't that just a great collection and sequence of tracks?

Betcha you're glad you made your own copy now.

That's a kick ass track list!

Actually, I have a confession to make...

On Neon, Poem (entitled Orgasm) is segued with What's My name, so I burned my Come 1993 CD with What's My name as a bonus track.

And who knows, maybe What's My Name actually was a hidden track on Come 1993? Why else would it be out there segued from Poem?

Maybe Boris knows? Boris, where are you?

So much better than the released version - I agree.

What a shame that orignal studio versions of Space, Race and Loose are not circulating.

The only time i have heard Race in this form was via MTV Cola-cola report c1993.

I have never heard silver so cannot comment on Space and Loose.

To my humble ears Dark and Dolphin are perfect in their released form.

I don´t find the Ulysees versions of Space and Loose! and Dolphin that different, really. Sure, they are not the same as on the released version of Come but hey, the differences are only slight differences and only the diehard fans would be able to really hear them.
What I would really like to hear, though, is that rock version of Space that is supposed to be drastically different. Now that would be something.

Also,I think Strays of the World would be a nice addition to that tracklist and would complete the whole "concept" behind that album,especially with that whole "come" idea behind it, ( come now all ye Strays of the World, there´s a place 4 U") , it was really the motto back then ("Come!") and also a not so tongue-in-cheek pun. I´m probably the only one besides Prince and Morris Hayes who thinks that Strays of the World is a fantastic song. People easily dismiss it as too bombastic , in the vein of Three Chains of Gold, but I think it completes the whole concept and feel of that album, the whole atmosphere of pain, despair, loneliness, and hope towards the end. Would have been the perfect closing song.

Anyway, I am probably also the only one who prefers that officially released, more soulful version of the title track "Come " over that robotic sounding outtake version.
This is one of those phases where you just got to have each and every different version of a song because they are all somehow "legit" and equal, sort of different experiences and incarnations of a certain song or experience.

This phase had much more potential and interesting ideas than WB and even Prince himself were aware of. There ´s a lot going on thematically and there´s an overall feel that connects the songs on Come,The Beautiful Experience, The Gold Experience and even The Hate Experience. Prince was VERY futuristic back then and so ahead of his time. Too bad things never really took of the way they should have.

KAB said:

Yeah. I hope whomever has them will get them out to a wider circle of fans soon.

KoolEaze said:

Well, Space is a just tad longer, is true, but Loose! and Dolphin have rather noticeable differences. Loose! is more funky and Dolphin seems more acoustic-like.

KoolEaze said:

I've never heard of that before.

KoolEaze said:

It was the closing track of the 11 March 1994 configuration which has been bootlegged in it's entirety, thank goodness.

And I like Strays Of The World very much,too. Always have. Whenever I hear it, I sing Gays Of The World, though.

KoolEaze said:

The 4:49 version of Come is a rock version similar to what he played live on Act II in 1993. I love it! The "robotic sounding outtake version" you're referring to is probably the 3:17 Come (Remix), as I call it. I love that too! But that version was never placed on any of the Come album configurations, possibly because it actually was a remix...? Boris?

KoolEaze said:

I agree completely.

more Freudian slip thread titles

So much information...that if your local record store didn't have it...neither do I.

What we are meant 2 hear...we will.

Bootleggers oughta bum rush David Henry Hwang (who co-wrote Solo) and pay/beg/plead for a copy of the tape, which he has said Prince gave him.

Bootleggers oughta bum rush Kenneth Robbins (co-conceiver of Glam Slam Ulysses) and that hot dude, Jamie King (who did the choreography for Glam Slam Ulysses), too. Surely they have copies of the tape used for the show.

Oh, and I suddenly realized where Poem segued with What's My Name is from! Glam Slam Ulysses, of course! So if those tracks got bootlegged in good sound, then surely Space, Loose!, Race, Dark and Dolphin from Glam Slam Ulysses are out there in equally good sound.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time, before they appear.

its good to remember where you've been:

you can easily find out who gave you whatever disease you might have.

I'm glad I don't have to go on an extremely long investigation.

me either. i dont screw around.

thank heavens for iTunes and audience noise. now i feel complete.

KoolEaze said:

No, U're not. U have my company from now on

Wasn't Ripopgodazippa originally on the album too or am I dreaming?

MattyJam said:

No, that was on early configurations of Gold.

I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh, but every single time I read this thread's title I grin. Hee, "How to track your own come..."

i do have a lot of versions of all the songs so this post is interesting to me

Sophianestesia said:

Fraid I gotta disagree.

IMO the original version is best [live drums and instruments] followed by the robotic one [as per the Beautiful Experience TV show] and then the released version.

But the original stands out a mile for me as being the best. Love the way it segues into endorphinmachine aswell...

KAB said:

Hi, KAB!

By sayin' the original version, U mean another one and not the 'Beatiful Experiende' version, neither the released one?

Is the original version on 'Come' 11 march 1994?

Sophianestesia said:

No, it's on Outtakes 1993-94, of course.

scififilmnerd said:

As you can see from Scifi, yes a different version - the 1st one. Most of the original tracks were played with real instruments including come, loose, race and I believe space. By the time of the album release several had been re-vamped and not in a good way [IMO].

KAB said:

Well, I like the re-recordings (remixes?), too.
[Edited 11/7/08 8:56am]

scififilmnerd said:

I think Come [album version] is a step too far for me. I don't mind the others but prefer the originals [the ones ive heard]. Songs with REAL instruments are always better IMO

I keep track of my own come No thanks

THIS JUST IN: On http://www.housequake.com...genumber=2 BorisFishpaw has admitted that the track list was fake.

So now the track list for Come 1993 is anyone's guess.

Hey Scifi

Any chance we get ur fabulous come thread back up so we can attempt to piece together what is and isnt correct?

the Come Endorphinmachine Space thing still hangs together right?

I still love my May 1993 cd...
