heard this? just added it to my 'essential outtakes that shoulda come out' list. Bloody fabulous vocals by Prince, Rosie does a great job too. very atmospheric.

"NOOO!"

Co-sign.

I also love the other "voice" track, 'The Voice', also from the same period.

That he gave to Mavis? Yeah, cool.His version is better, like those lazy vocals. I sometimes think he recorded stuff just as guides for whoever he was giving the song to. Take 'The Sex Of It', I don't think there's any way we were supposed to hear his version.

Patti also recorded it.

Dang, how many versions are there?

'The Sex Of It'...Man those are top-notch demos you're namechecking there!... P was definitely burning on all cylinders in the songwriting department around this time.

Lazy vocals all round, cheap-sounding drum machines, songs sung from a female's point of view... it doesn't get any better than these rough little gems.

Forget 'Moonbeam Levels' and 'Chocolate', this is where it's really at.

Three unreleased versions.

P's original, P's co-lead vocal with Mavis (criminally cut short by some retarded bootlegger), and Mavis' remix version.

I thought "the voice" amd "I hear your voice" were 2 different songs...

My Mrs favourite P track. She loves it, hell i do too, i can't hit repeat 10 times like she does though.Such an accesible fun song, probably would've still been No1 now if he'd released it!

Marrk said:

No1 in our hearts, maybe

Yeah, i got a bit carried away in the moment!

And I love the other other "Voice" track

"The Voice Inside"



There are also two different versions of "The Voice".
One of them has an extra line on the chorus. I don't
like that one as much as the other.
