Hi !
Here I go again with some boring question !
Back in 2022, I was wondering about the When 2 R in love long version.

https://prince.org/msg/7/469349

Following Mindbells9 reply, we could understand some among us already have it but for some unknown reason, were not willing to share it (WTF !).
3 years later, has it leaked since then ?

Yes, the whole 'Lovesexy Early Configuration' album (as described by Mindbells9) was shared on Discord back in March, 2023.

That is not an "early version". That was a version of the completed album where a bunch of instruments were removed, probably so the band members could rehearse their parts. For some reason it included a longer version of W2RIL.

Someone (not me) gave it this 'name', and I kept it. It's as simple as that.

The answer(s) remains the same whether you call it a 'striped down version', or anything else.

"Regarding WHEN 2 R IN LOVE, has anyone here ever heard this longer version, over a minute longer with an extra verse referred to on Prince Vault ?

Before this rehearsal tape verison came out publicly the only alternate longer versin known was a version with Eric Leeds, but that one still isn't circulaing widely

What discord? Does Prince.org have a discord server?

No, it has nothing to with prince.org.

There are a number of different Prince servers on Discord where membership and activity vary. The server in question is one I am no longer a member of and activity is low from what I have heard.

Isn't it already too long? In the 60's the best pop songs were about 2'30 to 3'

It was released in the 80s when we didn't all have the attention spans of goldfish.
