6 NEW OUTTAKE LEAKS

#1 Come Elektra Tuesday is an unreleased song recorded on 26 May 1985 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (two days after Hello, the same day as Heaven and Stella And Charles, two days before Polka-Dot Tiger).

The song features Jill Jones on background vocals.

It is unknown if this song was intended for any project at the time, but during Prince: A Celebration in June 2000, computer screens at Paisley Park Studios offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on Crystal Ball Volume II, but Come Elektra Tuesday was not chosen by fans, and the project was ultimately abandoned.
=======================
#2 Roadhouse Garden is an unreleased track, recorded during Prince and the Revolution's concert on 7 June 1984 at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN, USA, during the same show where the basic tracks for Our Destiny and All Day, All Night were also recorded (since no full studio version is known to exist, this live version is listed in the unreleased versions section). The track segued directly from Our Destiny. Roadhouse Garden is not known to have been considered for inclusion on Prince's next album, Around The World In A Day, or any other project at the time. It was planned for inclusion on the Prince and the Revolution album Roadhouse Garden album worked on in 1998-9, but the album, and the song, remain unreleased.
=============================
#3 Most Strongest Whiskey A.K.A. Finest Whiskey is an unreleased cover version of Give Me Yo' Most Strongest Whiskey by Denise LaSalle, written by George Jackson and Denise LaSalle (released as a single in 1985, and included on her 1985 album Love Talkin').

Prince's version was recorded on 30 December 1985 (the same day Eric Leeds added overdubs to A Couple Of Miles and that U Gotta Shake Something and Voodoo Who were recorded) at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. It is unknown if this track was intended for The Flesh album or any other project.
======================
#4 Eggplant is an unreleased duet song between Wendy and Prince, recorded on 8 July 1986 at Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio (the day after he recorded Train and the day before he recorded It Ain't Over 'Til The Fat Lady Sings).

Inspiration for this song came from Susannah and Wendy Melvoin, as Prince overheard their conversation about vain girls who constantly flip their hair while having a conversation with someone. The song makes an analogy between a shallow girl and an eggplant, presumably the opposite of an egghead (an intellectual).

While the sessions concentrated on material for the aborted musical possibly known as Dream Factory, as well as the aborted Dream Factory album, it is unknown if this song was intended for these or any other project.
===================================

#5 Rough is an unreleased song originally recorded in May - June 1980 at Prince's Wayzata Home Studio, Wayzata, MN, USA during recording sessions for the Dirty Mind album. At some point between June 1980 and April 1981, he recorded a new version with Alexander O'Neal, but recording details are not known. In 1984, the song was considered for The Family, but no new recording was done on the track at the time, as it seemed inappropriate for the group's style. It was later considered for Jill Jones' first album Jill Jones, and her vocals were recorded on 8 January 1986, along with saxophone overdubs by Eric Leeds (four days before recording Conversation Piece and Last Heart). It was rejected from the album, however, and Prince later offered it to Joyce Kennedy of the band Mother's Finest, who turned the song down without recording a version.

The lyrics describe a tough girl, who will take your money, your self respect and your personality. "She keeps her money in a garter belt. Next to a .38. If you get the chance to take her out. You better not be late."

The song was copyrighted on 25 March 1985 as Rough, and is commonly incorrectly referred to as Too Rough, Tough or Too Tough.

===========================

#6 The Glamorous Life (Prince Vocals) is the sixth and final track on Sheila E.'s first album The Glamorous Life, and, four weeks before the album's release, The Glamorous Life was released as the album's first single; it was, therefore, the first song to be credited to Sheila E.. The Glamorous Life was written by Prince, but credited to Sheila E..

In 1986, the Club Edit was included as the second track on The Glamorous Club Dance EP, a Japan-only EP of extended versions of Sheila E.'s singles.

On 19 June 2013, an instrumental rehearsal of The Glamorous Life was streamed live on 3rdEyeGirl LiveStream TV for 3 minutes.

Initial tracking took place on 27 December 1983 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (the day before In A Spanish Villa and Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar), and the song was originally intended for Apollonia 6 until Prince began to work with Sheila E. in February 1984, at which time he set the song aside for her.

Sheila E.'s vocals were recorded in the first few days of April 1984, also at Sunset Sound. The Glamorous Life is notable for featuring the first use of saxophone on a Prince-related track, played by Larry Williams.

The track also features the first released appearance of David Coleman (Lisa Coleman's brother) on a Prince-related track, playing cello.

Interesting, haven't been able to find Whiskey yet.

Whiskey is disappointingly short

How short?

is it just a snippet?

'Roadhouse Garden' appears to be, the studio version of this song as of early/mid-1986 (approximately the beginning of the 'Dream Factory' era). There are no other vocals than those of Prince, with most of the lead from the 06/07/1984 performance present along with studio-added backing vocals in his falsetto and regular voice, and most of the instrumentation is new (DX7 and Fairlight), aside from the Bobby Z's live and triggered-Linn drumming and the DX7 train-whistle breakdown (played by Fink) retained from the live performance recording. Oberheim stabs, Brownmark bassline, and Wendy/Lisa backing vocals absent from this mix. With the various changes this track went through between 1984-1986, this version is a quizzical but haunting effort, the moody synths ans melody making it something of Prince's equivalent to Springsteen's 'I'm on Fire'. The overall aural feel of the track resembles 'All Day, All Night', specifically as it appeared on 'Jill Jones', which was also from the same live performance worked on as late as Summer 1986.
