If you were tasked with taking the outtake discs (discs 4-6 in the CD box) of the SDE and crafting the cream of the selections as its own album on one LP, out of all the offerings, how would you put it together and order it? Only rule is it has to be LP length or less! (About 20-22 min per side max)

All My Dreams - simply a great song

Can I PLay With U - a very interesting song, especially with Miles Davis involvement

Power Fantastic take 1 - Too intersting not to include, his 1st take was amazing.

Big Tall Wall - Great song, must include...that bassine in the left side...whoa and so diff from what we knew.

Large Room, No Light - simply great -

Train - great song

Eggplant - awesome track and funny

Adonis - great song

Forever In My Life (eary demo) - just shows how great he was to do this so so differently

Crucial - great song, neat that he changed up lyrics.

Emotional Pump - great song. wicked bass

Rebirth of the FLesh - too famous not to include...had to have this

Walk In Glory - wow..one of the big surprises...supreme stuff ...super inspired.

Wally - too famous not to include and you know, I LOVE IT.....so so good and heartfelt

Promise 2 B True - can't believe he never put this out in his lifetime! Wow, good.

There Something I Like - another surprise..never heard of it and it's good

A Place in Heavan - on every bootlget tape since 1988...we had to have it.

Great Thread that really illustrates Prince's incomparable brilliance. This One Album (no matter how we debate the selections) is better than 99.9% of other artist's entire catalogs.

Mine:

Can I Play With U

Witness

In A Large Room

Adonis

When the Dawn

Glory

It Be's Like That

Emotional Pump

Rebirth
