I really need to track down this better version of Go. I love that song. Is it the full version? I have a better quality version but it's only about 3 minutes long.

This new leak has a Go 4 min 50 sec long, I don´t think I have heard such a long version before.
And it has very good sound as others have said.

Go is ok. Got that sound but nothing outstanding.

I LOVE Prince's version of Yo Mister. Are. You. Kidding. Me? Pure Bliss.

An album of the songs Prince gave to other artists done by him would NOT be a bad thing. Just sayin'.

Agreed, it is pretty fantastic and got even better with latest leak´s improvement. And yeah, an album like that would be strong and maybe also quite sellable "hear Prince´s originals...".

Do you guys l-l-l-l-like the s-s-s-stuttering versus in YO MISTER???

Sounds fantastic!!!

The metadata on the new leak of "Go" lists the album as 'Supreme Outtakes' and has it as track 7 of 15. Hmmm.........

Strange Relationships December 23rd 1984 St. Paul Soundcheck (Eddie on sax I think) Prince killer guitar solo...

Yes, but it's been corrected to be October 31, 1984.

Yes there are 15 tracks. And most are upgrades in what we previously had. I really hope we get the fully Telepathy soon and also upgrades on Cool Love, Love and Sex (86) and Wally.

Is Wally even the full song? Seems like it starts in the middle.

I finally got to compare the Supreme Outtakes to what I had before. Previously, I had preferred the versions on Closer 2 God for most of them, Blast From The Past for a couple of them, one from Perfect Unreleased (Go). Upon comparing, I prefer all of the Supreme Outtakes versions over the previous with the single exception of 17 Days Extended for which I stick with the version on Closer 2 God.

In my not-so-humble opinion, of course...

Thanks insteresting to know. I'm nearing the end of a 3 month task in my spare time comparing and deleting/keeping the best versions I have. the BFTP, Closer 2 Good, Perfect Unreleased and Purple Harvest make up a large bunch (although I found a lot of coding errors in some of the Perfect Unreleased files).

I've kept more than one mix of the same version in many cases. i.e, it sounds better on BFTP, but the Purple Harvest copy is closer to the direct transfer, or where the crop of speed are off.

It's so subjective, isn't it. Different tastes, different listening conditions, different playback equipment, different playback settings... All I can give is my opinion, and even that sometimes changes.

Has anyone compared the new release of Nothing Compares 2 U to the outtake? Are they the same track or was the official one "finished" in any way?

From what I can hear on the released version they added Clare Fisher's strings over the synth lines in the outtake and I'm not sure about the background vocals of Susannah and Paul, I can't hear much difference between the two versions in that.

Given the volume of leaks I'd love to see list of what people thought were the best versions of each track.

And agreed that its totally subjective - so I'm sure there will be disagreements.....

These new leaks are amazing. "Go" is next level Prince and Bang Bang is funky. I also prefer this new leak of 17 Days 12" - I love this extended version now. Reading Duanes book really opened up my awareness of these versions - to now hear "A Million Miles' with Prince sinigng totally chnages my mind on this song!

It's great to have Go in better quality because it's a great song and won't be surprised if it's on the warner bros release. Bang Bang I don't like though. But each to there own

Go is top draw, as is most of the 85/86 stuff. We now only have a few known tracks that we need in better quality or the full version of. What we need upgrades of In a Large room Heaven Wally Telepathy Cosmic Day.

I don't have a list, but, there's more than 5 that we could use some upgrades on.
