That would be fantastic!

My only disclaimer and it's a personal preference....while I would love to have a released version of Extra Lovable, 25 minutes seems loooooooooong for one song and I prefer studio versions over live. I'd fear that there would be too much of the audience participation, which is great when you are watching him live, but gets old when you just want to hear a great song over and over again. 25 minutes, really? Whew - I'm already planning on editing it down. Can't we just have a nice clean studio track, please?

(Sorry - but it's how I feel.)

Best case scenario, it actually happens.

Worse case scenario, it actually happens, but it's a 25 min version with Shelby on lead vocal.

Not negativity - reality. If I had a dollar for every Prince project that was announced or reported on like this, but then never materialized, I could probably buy you a nice steak dinner, complete with some decent wine.

I hope it comes out, but until I actually see it, I'm not going to get excited.

Dr Funkenberry has shown time and time again that he's a reliable source. He got this directly from prince.

So did the Peach and Black guys, about 20Ten Deluxe.

2. Who writes this shit?

Personally, I find it rather interesting, that whenever there really appears to be cause to question something fishy going on in Princeville.

There somehow like clockwork, miraculously pops up something or in most cases like this one...just the "hint" of something...miraculously popping up. That's just ever so enticing enough to deflect attention...away from the stench.

Like a shot of espresso through the morphine haze "positivity".

It's not reality to say that if it does come out it'll be a "mountain of crap" as vitriol said. That's just straight up negativity and hate.

As for the steak dinner - I'm vegan, so I'll pass

Very, very true

Hmm. Prince is “Extra Loveable”…and we know that you know that. So is the doc as well.

We can only guess PRINCE is not worried about new lawsuit claims. (What? Didn’t think WE would mention it? tsk. He is not worried bout, we ain’t worried bout it.)

Perhaps he is on a high with Misty Copeland being his “date” to Elton John’s Oscar party…..that we did not even hear if Prince even had an Oscar party…..shoot, we would be on a high too. A girl the doc dated in high school was a former ballerina n she was quite bendy. Ahem. ‘Scuse me…..

Wherever PRINCE plays next, make your way there!!!!!

We just got word that he got a 25 minute live version of the bootleg classic “EXTRA LOVEABLE” that he is about to unleash. What do you know about that PURPLE FUNK?????

(I know I would love to hear a sample of that 25 minutes, PRINCE. Ahem. Just putting it out there…..)

With PRINCE bringing out jams like “Extra Loveable” the party is going to go on for days ya’ll!!!!!!!

BTW, do we still have permission to tweet during a show that has “Extra Loveable” in it?-Dr.FB

http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2011/03/04/prince-is-extra-loveable-but-where-will-he-play-next/#comments

The bolded part is the crux of why this 'big announcent' is coming out right now.

"The doc" is really up his own ass. His blog posts try way, way too hard.

I'll be excited about this news when I actually HEAR THE SONG, and not hear ABOUT it.

I agree with you. While some live versions can be really great, I mostly prefer studio versions, too.

I'm just saying that when Dr Funkenberry announces something about Prince it usually happens.. i don't think he ever mentionned a 20ten Deluxe.

25 minutes of "Extra Loveable" Bootleg....

[Edited 3/6/11 22:02pm]

does anyone else think this could be a hit song even now ? ...i heard the updated cover version of this and it sounded great to my ears...it is one of his best unreleased tracks..

No

so wait, is he saying that there's a 25 minute live version of "Extra Loveable" that Prince may be unleashing, as in, on some web site, radio station, etc.

or is he saying that he's got a 25 minute live version of "Extra Loveable" that Prince may be putting in a setlist at some point in the near future?

I took it as the latter but who the hell knows..I mean he never advertised "Large Room No Light" is coming so I cant call it.

Militant said:

This will not be a release.

It's Prince saying it wants to play a 25 min version at the next concert...which he may or may not do.

People let their hopes get in the way of what's written. Still, it's not entirely everyone's fault...the statement is written, as is everything by Prince, to be perceived in a number of ways. Remember, he doesn't say "released" he says something vague like "unleashed."

I don't believe a word. And if it's true, most probably we won't hear it. And if it's true and we are allowed to hear it, it'll be a mountain of crap like his reworking of In a large room with no light.

So, I can't be excited at all. Just more bullshit from Prince and the Doc.

I loved the 2009 version of In A Large Room with No Light.

What didn't you like about it?
