Underrated Prince or Prince and Rev demos eventually recorded by others..

Here are some I am totally in love with that don't get much love...

101--Prince's is haunting, Sheena E's a real barnstormer...love em both



Telepathy--Deborah Allen, I believe is her name..online there is P's demo, her version and her story about how he gave it to her...I like his the best, but she ain't bad.


The Sex of It..kid Creole and the cocoanuts...Prince's is funnier and more laid back.

More known but some of my favorites (mostly written with female sexual longing in mind, it seems..)

--G-spot

--Sugar Walls

--Nasty Girl

I wouldn't classify Nasty Girl or G-Spot as "eventually recorded by others", because Vanity 6 and Jill Jones were just extensions of Prince himself thru side projects. However all the songs you mention are classics, little doubt about it. Check the instrumental version of Telepathy from the 7", it almost sounds like a Madhouse track!

"So Strong". But part of the charm is that Girlsongs are sung by women.
And the Hollywoodish.Princeyish production.
I love the "Come Home" and the "I Guess I'm Crazy" demoes, but the maturity and the crooning of Mavis
adds a deeper layer to the released songs.

I'm still in awe of "Dear Michealangelo", I wish there is a pristine version of the demo in Sheila's vault.

The Colors R brighter, the Bond is much tighter
No Child's a failure
Until the Blue Sailboat sails him away from his dreams
Don't Ever Lose, Don't Ever Lose
Don't Ever Lose Your Dreams

I suspect that if Prince had released the Sex of It in 1990 himself it would have sounded very like the Kid Creole version, he was moving that way with it anyway.

Great track though!

My personal choice is Girl O'My Dreams, i'm in love with the Revolution version. The T.C. Ellis version is... eh... a different kind of thing confused

The early 90s were full of songs like that.
I Hear Your Voice
The Voice
The Undertaker
Allegiance
Open Book
Love Thy Will Be Done
Well Done

All of these together would have made a much better album than anything he released by himself between 1989 and 1995.
