Me too.

Especially the keys and vocals starting around the 2:15 mark

How has it remained unreleased officially? Prince is mental.

There's over a dozen tracks that I think Prince should be arrested for not releasing officially.

Allegiance being another of them.

True. It's better to be appreciated for your art when you're alive. He should get this stuff out there to fans, even if limited release and with not much fanfare. Casuals can bandwagon jump later.

Maybe he's stubborn, hates or is jealous of his most creative period or or doesn't care anymore, but roger me if there aren't diamonds in the vault! Where's my Crystal Ball II in sexy, HD supersound?

It was intended for the Graffiti Bridge movie,but it was replaced by "Still Would Stand All Time".I think Prince made the right decision."The Grand Progession" is nice,but a little too draggy.

Jeez louise! 'The right decison'? To each their own I suppose. It must be at least a minute shorter in reality though. And it's not shit like half the 'Graffiti Bridge' album is either.

The best was in the song F.U.N.K. where Prince says "…well, it may not be 'The Grand Progression', but it sure is funky…"

He knows.

hmmm, never graced my virgin ears. i'll have to do some digging. i thought this one was more obscure and unheard or is that the Ryde Divine or something? I recall him saying "yall ain't ready for ....." around the 20ten era

I think datdude is actually thinking of "The Divine," which Prince mentioned in a few interviews with claims that it was too good for people to deal with. And I don't think anyone's heard it--at least not that I've ever seen anyone report.

Is Amazing

It is.

This is Andy allo's favorite prince song

That's good news, maybe he'll release it then.

Or did they break-up because she admitted to owning bootlegs?

True? Source?

It is phrased as a not-all-too-serious question.

Apparently Questlove could tell Prince 'Moviestar' was his favorite song and he wasn't killed.

I'm just hoping that if enough sexy women appeal to his ego by praising bootlegs, he'll open the vault before he is dead (and me too, probably.)

he doesnt release his best stuff

Agree. Never really liked The Grand Progression, I'd take Still Would Stand All Time over it every time

My favorite outtake by far. Only been waiting on a legit cioy since I first heard it in the mid-90's or so. So only 20 years of Prince doing anything and everything, and making excuses about not releasing the good music.
