Back when 1-800-New-Funk was operating I remember a version of TMBGITW where instead of vocals there was a saxophone. I've never seen this on any release(legal or otherwise). Does anyone know if this is available on any of the numerous compilations out there?

It's on the Get Wild-Single. Sax by Eric Leeds.

Hey thanks!

Im pretty sure that was the Sax mix

Should be noted The "Sax Mix" aka "Brian's Mix" was included on the Japanese import cd "The Beautiful Experience"

There is another saxophone instrumental featuring Eric Leeds on sax

Beautiful Girl appears on The New Power Generation singles of Get Wild

Beautiful Girl 4:32

Produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince and Eric Leeds

"Brian's mix" is different. It is on the US promo (also the US promo CD):

It's on the Japanese edition of 'The Beautiful Experience'. I actually just bought a copy of it a few months ago on CD and Vinyl. I absolutely adore this version. I would love to hear it mashed up with the Erik Leeds Quiet Nite version of 'I Hate U'. Some beautiful instrumentation on those songs.

there's an absolutely awesome version on The Dawn 4.1 which the album being mashed with the sax version, could've done without the musting bit at the end but still it's seamless. go get it!!

^^ I guess you are right:
