SOTT

One night alone.. Live

1987 Live (NPG Music club exclusive)

As far as studio outtakes

Only version in circulation is the the dream factory that you mentioned

How many versions of this song exist? I'm listening to the Dream Factory version and it sounds like more drums/congas and it's longer than the SOTT version maybe it's just me

I think it is longer I love both but I think the Prince version with the middle eastern instrumentation sounds better, feels more indepth than the Camille version

I'm glad he let Wendy & Lisa pull this one out of the vault

They started playing this during Billy's Sunglasses

Thanks Mike I need that 87 one

You may have heard ths version. as its widely in circulation in *bootleg* form "For those of you on valium" Even on unoffical dvd

As you said there is live versions on the Aladdin & Lovesexy live videos

As rudeboy4711 said there are a hand full of rehearsals floating around

But as far as outakes there is only one in circulation

1. There's a piano demo/rehearsal from 1982 on a boot called Intimate Moments

2. The original 1982 studio recording (not circulating)

3. The 1986 reworked version by Lisa and Wendy intended for Dream Factory

Anyone know the story on how W&L ended up resurrecting this song? Surely Prince dips into the vault but to let someone else do so seems odd. I wonder if there are any other released tracks that he let them pull from the vault?

LOL last time I checked Boni wasn't in any condition to do the ONA tour....

rudeboy4711 said:

I think Prince just gave them the tape of the original 1982 version and asked them to imput their ideas. Not sure to what extent Lisa and Wendy contributed to the following:I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man (originally from 1982)

Is this in circulation?

My favorite version is the Dream Factory session with the middle eastern sounds

I love the 1st Avenue live version at the "open rehearsal" it just went 2 long

I do enjoy listen 2 the ONe Night Alone live rendition as well

Unfortunately not. For some reason though, I suspect that the original sounds similar to Little Red Corvette. I imagine that the one we know uses the basic tracks of the original. It would be easier to determine if the high hats weren't so loud in the mix.

Thanks, I have been wondering for years about this.
