I can't stop listening to Crucial! For the last week or so I've been listening to the 5 and 7 minute versions. This is such a perfect song. Which version do y'all prefer?

I prefer the version where he sings about having an orgy in a garden of flowers.

I perfer the versions with guitar. There's a prticular moment that gets me every time - 05:12 - 05:18. On the 5 min version it comes in at 04:47-04:53

The wooh is on the one!

Yeah, the guitar version. This is my second favorite unreleased song (I'm not counting "Crystal Ball" because this version is longer, a different mix, and infinitely better).

So just to clarify, there is a 7 minute version of the song one with mainly sax and one with mainly guitar? Really liking the sax version but really want to find the guitar version!

That has to be the most childish retort I have ever seen on the org.

I love it smile

Have yall heard the sax version? Whoo weee that song is just too powerful. Love it! Its one of my faves and imo he could have still put it on SOTT with Adore.

I feel like I have about 312 versions of this song across numerous boots. I've never compared them. Anyone have a primer for what's what, using major boots as guideposts?

It's a sweet song. This thread is making me want to look up all the other versions because I honestly have only heard the CB version. I'd put this in my top 10 P ballads though.

Like some of his songs the randomness of the lyrics ("play the forth and back"??) used to bother me just a bit but a great song and really love it. Dislike the extended version both Sax and Guitar, like the album cut.

The sax version is AMAZING...probably the best I've ever heard Eric Leeds play on a Prince recording. In my opinion, the sax version of Crucial is far superior to Adore. boxed
