In the vinyl version of Exodus...(segue between "Get Wild" and "DJ Gets Jumped") When Tommy Barbarella askes Michael B how is he gonna drive with that masked on, Michale B replies "The same way I saw yo momma last night" to which Tommy replies "Fuck that!"

In the CD version it's edited to "Same way I saw yo momma" ("last night" was taken out) and Tommy's "Fuck" is taken out too to just "that"....I thought there was something wrong with my cd when I first heard it.

Wow, that is indeed interesting. You do have the European release by the Edel company, right?

In the end of "DarlingNikki",At around 4:02 Prince sez:

"Oh thats nothin',get up.Get her off me.Nigga you fired.Oh lord.Im gon' give you sum'

now,I think you need somethin'.Get yo hands offa me.(Last second inaudible)"

Its funny as hell,its like Nikki was trying to rape him on stage if she existed,lol.

...what?

are you talking about that gibberish with rain and wind in the background? i read somewhere that it was something compleeetely different. something that had to do with the lord.

if youre talking about something else, please fill me in..

isn't ''I could never take the place..'' first recorded in 1982 too?

Crazy ? why ?

Just mean that it wasn't on the list of songs later used, recorded earlier.

and it sure doesn't feel like a 1982- kinda song. Maybe he changed it so much it sounded completely different.

How would ''I could never take'' sound if it was on the 1999 album, kinda interesting

Soundwise it doesn´t really fit into the cold, lonely atmosphere of 1999 but I can definitely see it on Dirty Mind, right next to When You Were Mine.

I didn´t know that it was written in 1982, I always thought it was written in 1980 and not used on Dirty Mind because he already used When You Were Mine on that album.....but I guess you´re both right and it was indeed written in 1982....if I recall correctly, I read that in one of Per Nielsen´s books.

The album version sounds far superior compared to the unreleased Dream Factory version, and the movie version kicks the album version´s ass but I wonder what the "original" version from 1982 sounds like.

Many of us hardcore fans want Prince to play more obscure songs or newer material but many casual fans left some of the Gold Experience/Ultimate Live Experience shows in early 1995 quite early and very disappointed due to the fact that Prince would only play either new material or very obscure songs.

I loved that era and those shows though.

Hadn't noticed that during these shows. Thinking back, the 2 shows I witnessed in 1995 were the 2 most frantic shows I've ever witnessed from 1992-2010, (and Gent 1998 which was madness too). People went insane and it was packed. Long, intense shows with very happy fans as I recall, it was really really good.

And I almost went to the Paradiso in March 1995 in Amsterdam, I called and they said the line outside was so incredibly long, it had no use to come... still regret that.

How refreshing to have a really interesting thread in here! Albeit with old news, it's really cool. Too bad my memory isn't more than 25% of what it was, so I won't remember any of this tomorrow

The song to me is just so ingrained as an SOTT-era masterpiece that I can't believe it was spawned during the 1981-82 sessions. The earlier years are full of brilliant songs, but I Could Never Take The Place as a 1982 concept is a square peg/round hole kinda thing to me.

Is this 1982 session version circulating? I would imagine it was a solo Prince effort. I have an outtake that appears on several boots, but it's obviously the later, Crystal Ball/Dream Factory/SOTT re-recording with a different mix and edit.

here, question to verify a possible fact that doesn't deserve it's own thread:

At about 1:55 into Get Off (one T) Prince does a weird breathy vocal thing, is this sampled and slowed down from Sexy Dancer (around 2:46-3:10) or is he just recreating it? I can't think of any other songs he does this vocalisation in...

^ Sure sounds like it. Good catch.

I only have vague memories but we drove to Amsterdam right after the Den Bosch concert with two Dutch friends who helped us find the ticket shop, so we drove there, slept in the car with four people (Sherida, are you here?), drove back to Den Bosch....it´s all a blur to me now, but somehow we went back and forth all the time and were wacked out on our way back home.

The first Paradiso show was so good....especially the live rendition of 18 And Over...never would´ve thought that that song could sound so good with live instruments.

Good times.

( ....but yes, some people didn´t like the shows and I still have VHS tapes with news snippets with disappointed fans voicing their anger).

Wasn't "Strange Relationship" from 1982 too? I also think there's a short snippet of "We Can Funk" from 1982 as well.

Yes, that and Raspberry Beret. I would love to hear those early versions, can´t imagine what they sound like without the Revolution´s input.

I don't think ''I could never'' are in circulation.

I am very interested how this would sound like in 1982. like a 1999 track, but it wasn't probably that well thought of by Prince (If you can understand my English ) and therefore was left out the album.

Maybe thought about it after the Revolution-split-up and re-recorded it to fit the Dream Factory sound.

This is a fun thread!

Some minor things many people here probably already know:

1)The cassette and CD versions of "Still Waiting" on the Prince album clip the intro...so far as I know, the original vinyl is the only place to hear the complete song.

2)Just before the fade out on "Mountains," Prince whispers the word "starvation"

3)Purely my own observation, but I always thought it was interesting that Lovesexy starts with the sound of fire burning and the song "Eye No," with the word "No!" shouted throughout until the beginning of "Alphabet St." But t the album ends with water running on the song "Positivity," which says the word "yes" repeatedly throughout. Given the situation with the Black Album, I always thought this was a subtle metaphor for going from fire (Hell) and negativity to water (rebirth) and positivity. And, on the original vinyl and cassette, the literal turning point in these themes was the chanted "God is love..." part from "Anna Stesia." Or I'm just reading too much into it...

No..there is more... i always feel he sings in Glam Slam...

This thing we got is alive.... in a way that he seperated it...this thing we...got is alive...meaning this thing ...we God is alive....

but maybe i am stretching it...

I've always hated the misspelled words in his lyrics that were printed by WB. Those and other books, etc. It seems like someone would notice before it was sent out...

I think you may be. I'm pretty sure the lyric is "this thing we got, it's alive".

Hmm... "God, it's alive"...

...Frankenstein reference?

There is a mis-edit on the "that's no the way to me" part on "La, La La He He Hee"

If you listen closely it goes

Prince: Thats not the way

(background singers: thats not the way!!) [Prince: to me]

Prince: To me

Noticed it last year...

I've always noticed this and simply thought it was Prince singing "That's not the way to me, to me" to fit the melody. If he ended it at the first "to me" then he would be off.
