Adonis and Bathsheeba

That guitar solo is OFF the chain. I didn't expect it from that song. Hard to put into words. Defintely one of my favorite guitar solos by Prince ever on record.

Y'all feeling that too?

Just to think he recorded this, Crucial and Adore in around the same period is rather incredible. I wonder if there's more track in the vein of those three.

It's a pity that Prince curls out turds like AOA when he has fantastic unreleased songs like Adonis and Bathsheeba standing idle. I'd much prefer it if he compiled "new" albums from the vault - on the assumption that he doesn't ruin them prior to release, like he did with We Can Funk.

Wonderful song. A song that only Prince could have written and recorded.

The wooh is on the one!

It is on Blast but the full length track leaked quite a while ago now.

He didn't ruin it. The updated '83 version and the '86 version are equally good.

But the Graffiti Bridge version is awful, especially when compared with the unreleased versions (which are excellent).

I think it ranks among his best songs, period. Absolutely gorgeous. How do tracks like this stay in the Vault while MPLSoUND gets to see the light of day?

The original 83 version is very bare bones and overlong. The GB version/update/overhaul is exhilirating.

It's been a great year and this for me was the highlight.

Yet more proof that Prince circa 1985/86 was producing some of the greatest music ever made. And an awful lot of it he has never released.

he really should compile an album of this stuff and release it, something to fit between Parade and Sign. Then the world at large can truly appreciate just how good he was at the absolute peak of his artistry.

Nope.

The "egg shaped thing" is a testicle and the "wire" is the vas deferens. lol

Adonis and Bathsheeba is a gorgeous song, much more than simply "bumping uglies", more than jus "nuts and bolts". Laws of attraction on psychosexual overdrive.

Each to their own. I love the originals, but think the GB version is an over-produced, unlistenable shambles.

I never thought I'd hear anyone say they prefer the GB version over the '83 version. It may be the best example of P tinkering with (or in this case, completely reworking) a song to its detriment.
