Perhaps Costello stopped playing it as he didn't get Prince's permission or he was stopped by Prince's lawyers. You cannot legally cover an unreleased song without the composer's permission.

Maybe. I think it went unnoticed, + it was during his short stint with The Roots, so I guess ?uestlove was behind it.

Nobody needs to ask anyone for permission to perform whatever song live in concert.

The artist gets no royalties from songs performed live. Unless it's officially released on a medium.

As for the probability of Extralovable being released........ KEEP IT AS IS PLEASE!!!!

Moonbeam Levels was done for a Prince-tribute concert back in 2013, "The Music of Prince," held at Carnegie Hall (and also performed at the City Winery the night before). The Roots were basically the house band (with Wendy sitting in), and lots of people filling in vocally for a song. That was it--it was meant as a one-time thing. There was some thing years before when Elvis wanted to record a version of Pop Life that Prince objected to (https://prince.org/msg/5001/461), but I don't think anything like that happened with this one.

[edited to clarify that Moonbeam Levels was the song in question, since that fact was no longer included in the quoted text]

Oh come on, I have the real truth. I know this guy, who knows this girl, who heard from a guy who once ate some pizza with a guy who knew this girl that used to clean the windows at Sunset Sound, and she knew this guy that worked there who new someone that thinks they knew Prince, and told them that 1999 had 6 hours of outtakes.

6 hours of outtakes? Gosh, the people running the estate suck! Couldn’t they add just one more hour to make it 7 hours of outtakes? Don’t those idiots know that 7 was Prince’s favorite number? He even wrote a freakin’ song about it. Ask your source, see if they can make those changes. And tell them to make sure they include that super rare hardcore thrash/polka version of “Horny Toad” that he recorded while chewing on a green jellybean at the warehouse in ‘82. If that’s not on there, it will be a freakin’ travesty!

This is trying so hard to be funny without even coming close...

Actually I lied. I never really knew this guy who knew a girl who knew a toothpick salesman that once sold five toothpicks to Tony M. But I would not be suprised if 6 hours of halfway decent songs exist from 81/82, and another 12 hours of lesser material. And not to mention the hours and hours of alternate versions. Prince claimed once that he did not do "Demos," and then of course, in other interviews, said he had "demo recordings." If I win one of those $480 million powerballs, I will buy the vault myself, and sell recordings at the right prices. Of course, I have about the same chance of winning powerball, as Shelby J going thirty minutes without shouting "Put Your Hands Up."

but she also said she never heard "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?" again until the Hits and sides came out.

another time Suan Rogers got the known lyrics to "Moonbeam Levels" wrong... but then who knows maybe "board as a stone in rainstorm" was the orginal lyric? *it is very prince like*

Yeah, just some evidence, not proof. Peggy might have worked on the track recently but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will come out soon.
Fingers crossed though.

is it possible Prince never wanted to release remasters simply so WB couldnt make make the money??

Only if he didn't own the masters of them. But after a satisfied deal was set in 2014. The "Purple Rain" remaster was already signed,sealed & delivered to wbr before Prince(r.i.p.) transitioned into his after life.

Yes but it appears Prince wanted to mess-up with WB even after that deal. I suspect he was still unhappy with 1/ the exclusive distribution deal WB got out of it and 2/ not being able to include the WB-owned side projects in the deal.
