That was such a rush getting to hear alot of those tracks for the first time during the fall. My personal favorites would probably be "Junk Music", "If It'll Make U Happy", "Pickle"-yes , i love that little tallywacky track, "The Dopamine Rush"- I cant wait to hear the full version of this. Even though I've had it for quite some time, I love "Don't let him Fool Ya", ditto "Lisa" #2. I love the snyth overdubs he put to this track. It gives it the track an added dimension.

Don't forget the Crystal Ball leak - having The Ball in near perfect quality made my year.

Yeah great call, that was an amazing release. Being able to hear an actual copy of the legit version that Prince submitted to WB. Plus ending the debate on which versions of "Good Love", "Shockadelica" where on the album.

Gotta say I really like Bonnie Raitts "I Need A Man". I've listened to that track alot. Love it.

Let's not forget cosmic day second verse, hey I know it's not the whole song but I'll take it.

Didn't someone say on another thread that the full version is close to circulating?

"Cosmic Day" has been a rumor for Years!!

For me, the single greatest leak was Adonis & Bathsheba. That song is fucking amazing.

A&B has become one of my favorite Prince songs!

first i heard of this leak

Agreed! I'd list it in the top 15 songs of all time for me. I get lost (in a good way of course) in the extended guitar part of that track. I just want to live there...

A Strange Way of Saying I Love You

To finally have a clear and articulate version of this song is wonderful. I love the delicacy of the beat, phrasing and vulnerability of the lyrics.

If It'll Make You Happy

A bit out of left field stylistically, this was a joyful surprise and listen.

The Flesh

One of the most coveted bootlegs did not dissapoint--it was raucous and fun as hell.

These past years have been incredible for me;

the quality of the versions now circulating, the quality of the information and art really impressive.

I guess for me the box of chocolates was my fav. many of songs that I loved I got to hear things I couldn't on jewel box or work versions.

The lastest blast from the past 2.0 and 3.0 had some interesting tracks

If it'll make you happy and everybody want are favs

Mine too! I think it's right up there on the short list of songs that are unmistakably Prince. No other artist can do a song like that. It's just pure, unadulterated genius. Go is another favorite. I love that one.

Gorgeous! Untouchable, and how this was never on an album is incredible.

Agreed. Incredible song - one of his best ever for me.

LOVE By Alien Means, Adonis, Everybody Want... and The Flesh tunes (especially Junk Music and High Calonic ). Keep these leaks comin' .

Everybody Wants What They Don´t Got and Kiss Me Quick are my favorites so far.

I also like Adonis and Bathsheba. Susan Rogers dissed it pretty hard. I respect her a lot but it just goes to show you how different people´s tastes are.

"if it'll make you happy" has only been 'released' as a snippet so far, right?

what haoppened to camden 88 ...did somebody call a plumber?

I had a snippet (can't remember the length) then later found a longer version of 2.52

Is there an earth shattering solo? That's what it sounds like was about to go down .

it's hard to track down these songs when there are so many different homemade edits

floating around. it seems like tracks get released in 3 or 4 stages now. first a snippet,

then a longer snippet, than a complete version but in deliberate bad quality and later

a decent sounding version.
