Songs Where the Extended Version is Much, Much Better? I don't mean songs that are pretty darn good in their album state, like "Let's Go Crazy" but just add on more goodness in their extended versions.
I mean songs where you think the song proper is good or okay. But the extended takes it and goes into the stratosphere.
For me, that would be "Thieves in the Temple." The single version is cool; it's okay.
But once the extended part kicks in it goes to another unbelievable planet; and the video only really kicks ass once the extended part begins; and about that video when he paints the wall and starts fucking the wall it's just so fucking Prince!
Y'all?
What Prince songs do you think only really work in their extended state? | |

I Wish U Heaven pats 1, 2 & 3. So many unexpected twists and turns. A great example of how Prince could make a song so radically different between the album and extended versions. Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ | |

Most of them:
Raspberry Beret with that long intro with the cat growl/moan and the coughing because Prince is so sick. U got the Look with that funky chicken grease intro. Erotic City with the "fuck some creamy human jive..." ...lastly.... --- Let's Go Crazy extended IS superior to the album version. It lifts that song to some next level stuff. The stomped on piano, the mumbling repeat of the intro, the funky hand/finger flicking part, and the cow bell. They all add up to mad genius stuff NO ONE else would have the guts to put in a #1 hit song. This song is the EPITOME of what separates Prince from others, and what is VASTLY missing in music today...taking risks and being adventurous even with the most commercial things.... "New Power slide...." | |

HELLO. HELLO. hello. Hello!
The funk of it! The maniac laughter, the funky breakdowns, Prince's little kid/hurt voice. The guitar....the screams.
P at his best! | |

Computer blue Mountains Thieves in the Temple Are the first three to come to mind. I’m sure there are many more. For mountains, I always felt like something was missing until I heard the extended version. [Edited 6/7/18 20:32pm] | |

I always loved the synth bass line on latter half of the Little Red Corvette 12 inch.
Pop Life Kiss | |

She’s Always In My Hair was even more amazing in its extended form If I want your opinion, I'll beat it outta ya! | |

I'm the same, I really don't care for the extended bit. Kiss is another one that I can take or leave. Most extended versions are amazing though. Hello and La La La... are amongst my favourites.

I think the extended I wish U heaven is , frankly, boring. I played it perhaps twice since its existence. The album version is nailed-on perfect though. | |

Scandalous. Never really dug the album track but the 'Sacndalous sex suite' is awesome. | |

Pretty much all of them in my view – it’s in the extended version that he can really flex his musical muscles, and they’re often much funkier. The only exception that I can think of is the extended version of “Kiss”, which is merely okay and doesn’t really add much to the track for me. | |

I agree with every word of this. The ext. versions of "U got the Look" and "Let's Go Crazy" should have been on the albums in my view, especially in the case of the latter - as you say, it just elevates the whole thing. As brilliant as the extended version of “I Wish You Heaven” is, you can appreciate that it wouldn’t have worked on the album. In many cases though, I wish he’d given us the full thing and relegated the edits to the single releases. Of course, he was probably just doing his best within the limitations that he faced. | |
