What songs would you most like to hear demos for?

For me, it's great songs with some bad production choices:

The Breakdown

Chaos & Disorder

When Eye Lay My Hands

Pretty much the whole Emancipation album smile

Mountains would be interesting since I think the album version was a band collaboration. I wouldn't mind hearing what Prince's original version sounded like.

The demo of "Chaos and Disorder" is already out there unless you're talking about the alternate '96 version.

I'd mostly like to hear a lot of demos.

Ones i have high in my wishlist :

"Jerk Out" ("Prince" vocals)

The Hookers sessions ("Vagina" & "Wet Dream")

1982 versions of "You're My Love" / "Can't Stop This Feeling I Got" / "Raspberry Beret" / "Girl O' My Dreams" / "New Position" / "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" / "Girl" / "Strange Relationship"

"God Is Everywhere" (supposedly an earlier version of "Everywhere" as it was mentioned by BigChick)

"Housequake" (there's apparently an alternate version, also mentioned by BigChick)

"One Day (I'm Gonna Make You Mine)" ("Prince" or "Camille" vocals)

"So Strong" ("Prince" vocals)

"No Changes" (supposedly an earlier version of "The Rest of My Life")

"Jaguar" ("Prince" or "Sheena Easton" vocals)

"Anna Waiting" ("Vicki Waiting" early version)

"Uncle Sam" ("Prince" vocals)

"With This Tear" ("Prince" vocals")

Yeah... That's quite some songs. biggrin

D'ye think there is one? My understanding is but was a groove Wendy & Lisa came up with that Prince put a song to? Kinda like the Its Gonna be a Beautiful Night full band live groove. Prince could put a tune to anything!

All the early configurations of Come and The Gold Experience, though some of these are circulating.

Prince's demos for songs given to other artists would all be pretty essential.

A demo of the breakdown would be a amazing! I would also really love to hear the soundcheck from Paris in 1986 where it’s gonna be a beautiful night was born, and an honest man was played.
Another tape that would be awesome is the Stevie Wonder/Prince/Questlove jam on Stevie’s back catalogue.
