PrintableSquirrelMeat said: Prince, where he released inferior versions ?
1. Kiss 3. Tick Tick Bang Wa? The Tick, Tick Bang original is fantastic!! As for Kiss, well that's all thanks to David Z and Mazarati, huh! Feel U Up and I.Bitch - the unreleased versions are interesting, but both released versions are better IMO.

I prefer the demo version of 'Tick, Tick, Bang' 2 the 'GB' version.
'Irresistable Bitch' & 'Feel U Up' are both better in their released form. Same as 'Come' - as jtgillia said: the horns make it better.  love is god, god is love, girls and boys love god above | |

rdhull said: Because Prince does not feel thbe world deserves some of th e good songs and some of th e good versions of them...honest. He stated in a 1990-92 interview in Vibe or Spin..I think its Spin ( D&P era) about hw he had a great song he kept off of D&P because it was too good for release..he would "put it on The Dawn" etc..so he seems to have this upper-crust attitude that his good ones are too good to be heard by the rest of humanity at large lol..really. I know it seems like a backwards azz thing to do such as not releasing great great material but thats what makes him our lil Princey lol.
What is too good? Why would an artist wish 2 put out inferior work knowingly and intentionally. Has the guy no sense of legacy? I don'tthink sumtimes that he is the best pair of ears when it comes 2 sequencing and editing himself. Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter.
Is this 2morrow or just the END of time? The Funk will always b with u "I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe!" | |

What version? The strings version? Don't you like the version released in "The Vault... Old friends for sale". What is the difference?

As we can see a vastly superior version was never officially released. Those words are so personal and wonderfully realised. The second version is inferior in everyway it has its charm but what is it about. The 1st version is explicit and clear and is a work of genius because of it. man if only Prince released this stuff back...sheesh Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter.
