Randomly this popped up on the 'pod...Dayum, this right here had me movin' in my seat...

Funky to the max, and considered a throw away song on the SSS CD.

"All the girls with no underwear on say "Yes"...we gettin' funky 2nite."

I'm starting to think that his Bsides were better than the stuff they promoted...hmmmm.

My favourite b-side! Love it! Really funky and when he does that male and female thing with his voice at the end..WOW!

I love the whole 12 inch..... brilliant.

Do you think it's rare? I bought Scandalous Sex Suite for about 5$ in perfect condition.

zaza said:

Wa, Wa, WHAT? There's a 12 inch to this song? I have the SSS version, is there something else? If so, how different is it?

^ no there's not an extended version of SEX, I meant Scandalous (the A-side)... + of course the Sex, B-side.....

Zaza - I have no idea if it's rare,

I bought my copy (vinyl and CD) back in 1989 or was it early 1990?

thedance said:

I have only vinyl. One guy was selling his Prince collection (cd's and vinyl) with each copy for just 2-3€, so I have The Gold Exp., C&D, 1-800-New-Funk, The Beautiful Exp., Space Maxi-single and all those out of print records really cheap

about an Extended version of SEX:

the Nude Tour rehearsals - april 1990, a bootleg named "Nudity" (Thunderball) includes a version of SEX (38:45) a verrry looooong version, very funky!!

thedance said:

^ really Zaza, didn't you know about this....?

the rehearsals are recorded in Paisley Park, soundboard... Prince and the band is trying different things - Prince is talking and instructing the band.

ps. I am far from an expert in bootlegs, I'm not collecting those anymore. But I'm glad I have this one. Some very funky stuff...

No, I've never heard of that. I have lot of bootlegs, live and outtakes, but this is something new. Thanks for the info, I might check it out in the future

What time frame do you think this was made?

It sounds a lot like Lovesexy(band) music
and strongly sounds like Boni Boyer singing

it is not rare. But if you are looking to get it look for the Japanese version with the Party Man mixes included.

I didn't appreciate the song at the time (it seemed like a throwaway, and the content was very well-tread ground for Prince, to the point of redundancy). However, that song is like a funky little fungus. It grows on you while you sleep. Twenty years on, I STILL have it stuck in my head at odd times. Randomly, I'll find myself singing, "I can make you happy, you see." And I've come to love it. That's the brilliance of the song. That, and the line "anything this dangerous has to be good," which I've always loved.

I do like this song. Prince speaks his mind on it that's 4 sure.

As a Man thinketh...so is He.

As a Woman thinketh...so am I.
