Extraloveable - will we ever get the original version officially in HQ? The outtake that he retooled as a single a few years back - will we ever get the original 1982/83 version officially in high quality? [Edited 12/25/17 11:45am] A certain kind of mellow. | |

The full version in best quality would be nice! Hopefully Eye will come through! [Edited 12/25/17 11:03am] "I like to watch." | |

I should have been clearer - I meant in high quality as part of some sort of official release (like Pocessed on Purple Rain Deluxe).
Would Extraloveable fall into the 1999 sessions? If so, then if a super deluxe version of 1999 is ever released, I imagine it would be a good fit. A certain kind of mellow. | |

I think the rape line would make it very hard to publish unedited... | |

You could say it's already in 'HQ' (thank records for that). When it comes to it getting an official release though, none of us can predict the future and say it will happen, though Purple Rain Deluxe proved it at least can happen - so there's a fair chance. Either way, if we ever get a 1999 Deluxe, I can almost guarantee this song would be included. [Edited 12/25/17 15:52pm] What was that?
Aftershock! | |

It is strange though - despite not being inteded for Purple Rain, it would have actually fit pretty well on it (I think it might have been a bit mismatched on 1999). A certain kind of mellow. | |

Well, you're not wrong. The lyrics hint at Dez leaving Prince's band and Wendy joining, which happened after 1999 was released, so it's possible Extralovable was recorded in-between the 1999 and Purple Rain sessions. _ Personally I don't think it fits with the Purple Rain album though, here's my reasoning: - Extralovable is almost eight minutes long, which suits the long tracks of 1999 but sticks out like a sore thumb in Purple Rain, where most songs are nearly half that length. - While the controversy of Darling Nikki increased the popularity of Purple Rain, Extralovable has rape lyrics which crosses the line. Again, 1999 swept more explicit lyrics under the radar. - I guess you could say Extralovable sounds like a Purple Rain track because it's more guitar-heavy - but it is still carried by a very 1999-like LinnDrum LM-1 beat. The beat even starts the song! What was that?

It's really a bad-ass song. Wish it would be leaked in full and in best quality. "I like to watch." | |

. You do know the songs on PR were edited down, don't you? They did not want another double album release. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

It'll be released on July 22, 2034. Any other question? A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

Noted, but in today’s “post-Weinstein/Trump” society, Prince’s estate, along with WB, might be pretty hesitant to put their official stamp on this track as-is, out of fear that his name will get thrown into a legal shitstorm of innuendo.

Don't worry, I'm aware of that. This thread is about the original version though, not a hypothetical edit. What was that?

That's an overtly simplistic statement. Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right? | |

Really??? I’d be interested to know which boot this is in, too. I have it in decent quality, but would definitely not call it excellent. | |

Hopefully we will get a ‘1999’ Super Deluxe Edition,with this song as one of the bonus tracks. | |

Of course it is, in one sentence it couldn't be much elaborated. This is where I stand if I have to sum-up my position in one sentence, though. A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

The best AFAIK is the one on BFTP 3. I find the sound quality pretty excellent. It could be better I'm sure, but for a bootleg it's pretty much as good as can be for something that comes from a 35 years old tape and hasn't been mastered professionally.
