Don't know if this is old news, but the EXTENDED version of Prince and Miles Davis' "Can I Play With U", I recently discovered is so awesome and Stunning !!! (It's miss spelled "Can't I Play With U" though...) Quality is fairly good to great. Its not to compare with the awful quality (short) version from any earlier boots. I think it's even a different take, at least that's how it sounds to me. Someone should correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm talking about the 6:17 version !!! It's refreshing to hear Miles his trumpet all over it. Also the second part with loads of breaks and bridges is so awesome ! From 2:28 on there's a cool Miles part with jazzy breaks, great Eric Leeds sax. And from 3:34 there's a superb melodic Miles solo with Eric's baritone sax as bass, accompanied with a sparse drum and eerie synth part... (Cant help but say that I love the old days sound. It remains so fresh.) Ongoing from 4:09 is an incredible speeded up guitar and bass solo by Prince, like in Love Or $. Drum sound is similar to Alexa De Paris. All over the song are Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss horn parts that are more exciting than anything the NPG horns ever did (IMHO). From 5:22 there's new lyrics by Prince that bring the song in splendid chaos and jazz to a incredible build up and climax ! Let me try to write the lyrics from this part: "Look at here... In times of desire Baby, U light me up Fuck any way U want 2 I can be... Up ...(can't figure this part) Brother's gonna rock the house. Gonna tie Ur hands behind Ur back, Make U scream and shout Get on the dance floor Going round and round Love Ur body all the way up All the way down Baby baby baby baby. ba-by ba-by ba-by yeah ! Can I play with U mama (Long scream, and) No !" (this is the exact same "No" shout as used for the intro scream of "Alphabet St.") Absolutely DON'T understand why this great song never saw the light of day. (If Ur interested, I found it on the 'Alt vol 3 disc 1') This is info about it from PrinceVault : "The longer version of the track was planned for release (credited to "Miles Davis with Prince") as the twelfth track on a 2001 box-set of Miles Davis's Warner Bros. work, entitled The Last Word, but the track was not included on the eventual 2-disc 2010 release, titled Perfect Way."

yes unfortunately it is. i really like it. I've stuck it at the end of Box O Chocolates.

I had no idea that was the same no in Alphabet St. wow thanks for telling me..I notice it now
