Help Prince & Miles Davis collabs: what songs to include?

I co-worker of mine is really interested in the work Miles and Prince did together.

I'm making a collection for him and I'm checking my Possessed book (DMSR is STILL on delay from Amazon!!!) and so far I've gotten the following:

  • Can I Play With U (I know Prince sent him the tapes and Miles added his part. But are there 2 versions?The one I have has Prince vocals on it)

  • Movie Star (Miles playing it live in concert)

  • "Gonna Be Be A Beautiful Night " live Jam with Miles during SOTT era including bits of lots of other songs (over 30 mins).

  • Letter 4 Miles (Prince tribute to Miles)


What else am I missing?

I also found a version of Movie Star that says Miles is on it but I don't even hear trumpet nor can I find a source that says Miles has anything to do with it.

Is there Madhouse 24 stuff I should include too?

Thanks.

Thanks. i have the live version of Movie Star by Miles.

But what's the deal with Wonderful Ass? Is that just an error listing Miles on it?

Don't forget "Sticky Wicked" on Chaka Khan's CK album. Prince plays guitar, keys etc, and Miles adds some little trumpet here and there but the two were never in the studio together for this one

They were never in the studio together for any of them - just shared the stage for the New Years Eve show.

- "19 (Jailbait)"
- "20 (A Girl And Her Puppy)"

Meaning Miles often played these in concert...independently...not that Miles played on the recordings...right?

No, Miles didn't play on the circulating studio version of "24", but he did record some of these tunes in studio. Some of them were going to be included on the (cancelled) "Last Word" box set. AFAIK, the versions with Miles are not circulating.
