I've got a 17 minute version of this. Are the last five minutes worth hunting down? Does anything special happen? (guitar solo for instance)

hunt it down Or Ur collection will always B 5 minutes SHORT of MINE LOL

I suspect it will always be a whole lot more than just five minutes shorter... (I'm not the collector type, just a guitar player whose favorite guitarist is Prince)

In that case you might be able to do without the last five minutes of The War. At the end, it becomes a bit experimental, with a kind of jungle beat (comparable to the drums on Slave...) It's cool, but I think the highlight of the song is the guitar solo (when Prince starts singing 'one for me, one for u/ u preach a lie, not the truth').

oops: 'one for me, TWO for u... etc'

The last five minutes with the tribalesque drumming and
the cymbal snaps [right?] is almost like a completely
different instrumental song tagged on at the end. It
only goes back into "The War" for the last minute when
the chant "12 the evolution will be colorised" comes
back again and fades out.

Apart from that brontosaural guitar onslaught it is my
fav part of the song. Hope you'll be able to hunt it down.

Whoa - brontosaural guitar onslaught? Damn that sounds interesting!
