5 Top additions to your collection from BFTP 4 + 5

List the top 5 songs from the recent BFTP releases that you value the most as part of your Prince collection. This is not necessarily the best 5 songs, as you may have already had good versions of songs like Wonderful Ass before these releases. Please note what makes it is special to you, such as because it is a new song to you, improved sound quality of an old favorite, a better version than you had before, etc.

As still a relative newcomer to the boots, I was surprised of how many really good songs were on the releases (especially BFTP 4) that I hadn't heard before. Yes I did hear some of them via the leaks that immediately preceded the BFTP releases, but I play them in the context of my BFTP play-lists so I am counting them here.

Here's my list

1. 101 - new to me

2. Pain #1 - new

3. Come Home - new

4. Wally - new (emotionally my #1 but not musically)

5. La, La, La, He, He, Hee - new version to me - much prefer it to B side version.

This was really hard for me to whittle down, so I know I left off many good ones. Curious to see your list!

I think the b side version of La La is MUCH better than the unreleased one! Same goes for U Tot the Look. Both songs improved from doing a little extra work. What I like about this set is that it shows how Prince was developping ideas.
Anyway, here we go:
Emotional Pump
Coco Boys
Come Elektra Tuesday
Wally
101

1. COCO BOYS ... cuz it's simply genius, funny and addictive and I have no idea how he could keep that one from us for so long

2. 101 ... cuz I always loved sheena easton's version but every time I listened to it I thought: "wouldn't it be cool ...? ... oh goodness it actually IS cool!

3. FEEL U UP ... cuz I said it b4 and I do it again ... holy cow ... he's drivin me nuts with this version ... who needs synths when there is so much prince?

4. COME HOME ... cuz mavis staples' version was great and she has an awesome voice but ... ummm ... prince is prince and nothing ever compares

5. now it's goin to get really tough cuz there're way more than 5 ... but I go with WALLY ... cuz there's so much raw emotion in this one ... it needed to grow on me and it did ... oh yes it did

the only love there is is the love we make heart
