Let me help you out on this one. Every 12" single from 1989 on was the worstest. Prince was one of the kings of the extended version. Remixes? they ain't his friends.

true...

awright, mo' of the bestest:

girl

another lonely christmas (can't believe they edited it a bit 4 the hits/the b-sides)

erotic city

u got the look

I like 'em all.

The JAMS from the "CREAM" and "GETT OFF" 12's" are great.
"1999 The NEW MASTER" is EXCELLENT!

I wish that PRINCE would release more 12" singles...

Worst: New Power Generation...Love Left, Love Right...Lubricated Lady...

...and My Name is Prince.

They just put on the 7" version, as with most if not all the b-sides on the hits.

To defend Pop Life, I really like it (dig it), especially the UK extended version rather than the US. It's hypnotic, like the long version of America.

True, but the "SPACE" Maxi-single is an exception to this rule. IMO The "Universal Love Remix" is really great and also the "Acoustic" and the "Funky Stuff" remixes are well done and give a new dimension to the song.

Best:
America
Housequake
Shockadelica
U got the look (long look)
Feel u up (long Stroke)
Let's go Crazy
Erotic City
Mountains
Kiss


Worst...the worst is tracks that HAVE no 12"extended version but should! Tambourine, Boys & Girls, SOTT...

I really dig the unreleased Wedding Feast Extended The More The Larrier Remix (33m02s) Look for it on KaZaa!!!

I've looked on Kazaa and the other P2P sites for it. I can't find it anywhe... wait just a dang minute!

You got me. That's my jam.

I thought the 12" versions of Eye Wish U Heaven, Batdance, Thieves in the Temple, NPG, and Erotic City were all pretty good. And the Gett Off EP, and Cream EP were great.

Least favourite... probably the Beautiful Experience. All those shitty remixes of a cheesy pop ballad. Yuck! Also I hated the 12" techno remixes of My Name is Prince.

Best is She's always in my hair and Anotherloverholeinyourhead.

all are great but these are my favorites, oh yeah and
Erotic City.

Least: All those "Cream" mixes. I thought they were pretty horrible.

"The Scandalous Sex Suite" also had some very cringeworthy moments on it.

Thank you for your opinions. Some of those versions I alredy own, but there are some that I don't, and I don't want to waste my time looking for something that is not worthy (though some might say that everything is worthy )

I have recently listened to a 12'' version of anotherloverholenyohead and I think it's great!
