To be honest I wasnt into a lot of outtakes, boots, & unreleased P songs, for many years inless they were played for me, or came without search.

Why? Because there were so many released songs that were incredibly great, i mean he releases album after album, a lot of goodies in his 30+ yr career, So I didnt even think to think of what Prince maybe hiding or holding back. Its not til I got hungry for more Prince music, because what i had wasnt enough anymore, so I started searching unreleased tracks out.

Maybe some others are like me possibly?

I can't understand how people are 'discovering them' now.

There's so much out there to dig that I can't understand people doesn't go for it.

But maybe it's better to keep on starting stupid threads all over the org than discovering the opus of their -presumably- favourite musician.

What a weird reply.

I usually appreciate your pointing out the bullshit, but this is pure venom.

I can understand your dislike for threads about Prince's clothing and birthmarks, but to react patronizing like this to someone who actually discoved a musical gem for the first time, well, that's ... weird.

I say this every time there's an 'I Wonder' thread, but this is one of those perfect, timeless little pop songs that would floor people if they heard it. He could put it out now and probably not even give it much promo, just some backing by some DJ on a popular radio show gushing about it, and it would set on fire.

Prince is very guilty of gilding the lily sometimes, but this is just one of those tracks, even if the version we know was unfinished or not (I don't know) - it's great just as it is - instantly catchy, instantly Prince - does not sound dated or of a particular time.

i noticed this too..

i think it's perfect! it's got all the right ingredients, it's up there with his best

this song is up there with his best!.. he waved his wonder wand at this one

he delivers some of those lyrics in the cheekiest way,

it's playful beyond words like he's wondering aloud..! he's all wrapped up in a wonder bubble mushy

i wonder why the song stayed wonderground??

This is exactly what happened to me. Even though Prince has put out a huge amount of music officially, comes a time when such huge amount seems not to be enough.

When I saw that some more 500-600 tracks (including alternate versions) were out there somewhere I just couldn't rest until I had them all. And there are even many more, though not widely circulating or available on boots thus becoming much harder to track down and obtain. That's why the hunt never ceases.

Despite being one of the best and most complete performers of all time, my main interest lies in his studio work. I can never get enough of that.

So, I ONLY wanted to point out that real fans of Prince's MUSIC should try to get and listen to all the music they can instead of devoting a good part of their 'fan time' to unimportant facts such as pics, clothes, hairstyles, bedmates or underwear size.

Why discover outtakes one by one just because you come across them when you can have a real outtake orgy?

I so envy you hearing this for the first time, I remember when I heard it (oh my... 20 years ago. Where has the time gone?!) and instantly fell in love with it.

I had it in shitty quality on the Bootleg 'Yellow' and this track, along with 'Uh-huh' & '5 Women' made me realise what a fantastic bluesy album he could release if he wanted to. Brilliant stuff.

Enjoy smile

I can't see rudeness and even less hysteria in my posts.

Prince is a MUSICIAN, right?, he makes MUSIC, right?

So why shouldn't we focus on the music itself FIRST?

I can't conceive people can be worried about Prince's lovelife, leissure time or whether he is/was gay or on drugs instead of what should really matter.

How can anyone be bothered thinking about who Prince is boning tonight when there's still a treasure trove of music to discover?

You attacked Doffie for mentioning "I wonder"

I quote ( and don't worry, I won't quote some of the other bitterness you've shown us on threads):

"This one and many other unreleased songs have been out there for eons.

This reaction is hardly what we would call "calm and collected" especially as you then go on to enter into a discussion about the song!

Moira, don't worry! I'm sure you're a lovely, lovely person!

We just need to see that sometimes!

Though I absolutely adore this song, I always considered it unfinished. The part when he sings, "go on and get it one time," and then nothing really happens, makes me think there was supposed to be some excellent guitar part there.

My favorite part..."I wonder if she knows how much I extra, absolutely, so complete and sweetly love her..." gets to me each time. It's so sweet!

Wow! that's pretty gratuitous use of the word 'attack', ain't it?

I'm afraid you're seeing things.

And my answer wasn't 'directly aimed' at her. I just used her post to make an observation about the overall orgers. I never meant to kill HER. Or anybody, for that matter.

I WONDER is truelly great

add a few funky,bluesy riffs to it .. like the end of kiss etc .. an it is ready 4 n official release

very old skool song

I can imagine it would make a great video .. prince arguing with his woman in a shot gun shack an her storming off an throwing a ring at him .. prince walking outside to the porch

where a big guy like MICHAEL BLAND sat playing harmonica .. then they look at eachother .an then it suddenly starts to rain heavy ... Bland picks up an plays BASS an prince '' sitting on the step an walking round the porch singing I WONDER .. video of the year!

whenever i want to hear some new music ...i make some - prince '99'

1 of my top 5 all time out-takes. Brings back amazing memories - bought the day after the ACT 2 gig at Wembley stadium [what a gig that was -1992 I think?]. Anyway took a trip up to Campden on Sunday to see the greta street bootleggers [always a great source for P boots] and bought a cassetts [remember those!] with this on it. Sure it had some other killer unreleased stuff on there BUT this was played all the way home back ooop North!.
