Your Favourite 12''......

After hearing so much about Princes amazing extended mixes I finally got my hands on some. Both the Peach & Black & Prince podcast have mentioned some classics like "La La La, he he he" and "America". I'm loving listening to these long versions, right now my favourite is "anotherloverholenyohead" absolutely OUTSTANDING and better than the album version. I'm new to these so what's your favourite & why????

You can hardly go wrong with the 12" single that has the extended version of Mountains on the A side and Alexa de Paris on the B. That's some serious aural sex, right there. shrug

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Lets Go Crazy/Erotic City

Mountains/Alexa De Paris

Sign 'o' The Times/La, La, La, He, He, Hee (for the b-side)

America/Girl

Kiss/ heart or $

I'm on my second and third copies of all of those. If I was forced to choose one, which would be EXTREMELY difficult, I think I'd go with the first one... maybe. lol

The extended version of Pop Life, which was only on the UK 12'' is still my absolute favorite.

Universal Love Remix is the last outstanding 12'', after that it was all downhill or non-existent

I have too many that i like to list.

For those who might be looking for a certain 12" version of something, you could do worse than get your hands on this. A sterling tracklist, i'm sure you will agree.

T's set is an awesome start and the "remastering" makes the songs sound great! The idea was to put songs on CD that were originally only available on vinyl, that means a lot of the later remixes aren't on the set.

I agree, it is a great set. And a good place to find the earlier, rarer 12inch versions that were not available on cd.

Hats off to T for this compilation.

I love all the extended versions from For You up to Batman but my favorite has to be the long version of Sexy Dancer. Too funky.
