Thieves In The Temple has now been replaced with The Beautiful Ones ext. version. It's such a passionate song anyway, that extra verse really adds something to it.

Oh wow...extra verse? I never knew such a thing.


it's more like vocal riffing rather than a whole verse, but it's right in the middle of the "Do you want him, or do you want me?!" part which makes it that much cooler IMO.

Another one of my favs that doesn't get much mentioning is the maxi-single for New Power Generation. The remix of that song is a throwaway, but Loveleft, Loveright and Get Off/Lubricated Lady are great. Those might be considered to be more non-album tracks or b-sides than extended versions, though.


There's a whole bunch more from those sessions circulating. Not his best, IMHO, too much of Levi's attempts at making dance music. Too much of it is barely more than a bunch of half-assed ideas. Some of it was re-used later on.

I miss the screaming Prince, and She's Always In My Hair is a good one for that. The extended America could have been a little better I think. I've always been a fan of ext. I Would Die 4 U but I've always felt there a little something missing. Not sure what.

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

my favorites are all of the extended versions from 79 starting with the long sexy dancer unedited all the way to 1990 I couldn't belive it when I finally got all of them, I can't make enough backups for fear of losing them lol

There is a lot of subtle stuff going on in She's Always in My Bonce. Including the bass, synth parts adding emphasis, guitars having their niche in the sound and the flanging hi-hats.

I think it was Prince at his peak as a whole. Of all the extended versions, its the one i can play the whole way thru and not get bored.

But!

I still love the refreshment the others give me after hearing this 6 times.

I kinda feel that way too.
MY LIMIT IS 5 tho falloff then i gotta move it to America. I think that's the one Prince jam, no other band could fuck up as a cover. The music is what drives it...anybody else's vocals might suffice. I dream of EW&F or the E Street Band shutting it down. cool
