Best-sounding versions of 70s & 80s outtakes? Hey, Guys!
I've been in and out of the Prince loop for years, and I still cherish many of the CDs of outtakes that I got back in the early 90s. That's why it's nice to hear how many of those songs have surfaced in the last few years in gorgeous-sounding versions (i.e. Box o' Chocolates). But there's still a few songs that I haven't found, songs that I've listened to for (literally) decades, songs mean as much to me as anything else in his remarkable canon--yet I've only ever heard them in less-than-ideal quality. I'm referring to these songs:
She's Just a Baby Moonbeam Levels
Do Yourself a Favor
Baby, You're a Trip
Neon Telephone
We Can Funk (the 10 minute version)
In my collection, all of these have analog distortion a-plenty, and while that has its own charm, once I hear, say, the original "Can't Stop This Feeling I Got" on Box o' Chocolates, well, I have to wonder if any of these songs have surfaced in near-pristine versions also, only I haven't found them yet.
(Also, in my dream world, I'd get a super-nice transfer of "God (instrumental)" and all of the Initmate Moments tracks!)

Wasn't the 7+ minute GOD (Instrumental) on a UK 12" of something back in the day? I have it on CD in perfect quality and I could swear it was from a B-side to a (legit) import 12"...
