Why Rude Boy didn't put this on "Around The World" is sick. And that's exactly why he didn't do it. Because he knew that this was better than anything else on the whole album. Second best b-side of all time is "Gotta Stop Messin About" from 1982. Flip side to "Let's Work" long version. First Prince non- album b-side. Next is "Another Lonely Christmas". A super cool and super rare b-side is Prince by way of The Time "Grace" from 1982. It's the b-side to "777-9311". Prince doing his Morris Day voice along with Jill Jones. Cold blooded.

I do LOVE that song. But you forgot about "17 Days".

LaLaLaHeHeHee!!

Ronnie Talk To Russia.

Scarlet Pussy - Black Label No Notes...by Camille...I crapped my pants when I saw this.

Erotic City - Practically an A side.

Love or Money He was bad he was fresh all the women say he was the best had money up to his neck it didn't mean a heck.

Sex - Underrated b-side not incl on the b-Sides of the strangest single from Batman.

"I Love U In Me"

Love or Money... i've always had a soft spot for that one. So funky. And it's not on the B-sides disc!!!!!

I Love U in me.

My girlfriend isn't a fan, but that track....Jesus Call the Law

My husband and I sing it all the time! Love it!

Yes She's always in my hair...some of his best songs were B sides I think

jenet8701 said:

B-sides and the extended (or better: full) versions of the a-sides from 1984-1988, I think.

eelco said:

Yeah, extended and long version B sides or A sides. The whole songs. Always.

Erotic city
She's always in my hair
How come you don't call me anymore

How is it Erotic City isn't on the Hits/B-Sides?

God

Yes, ur right!!!!! I was pretty peeved at that one...but I'm pretty sure I have the 12" somewhere in my mama's house...I LUV that tune. Quite fonky...but as for bsides, I still gotta go w/a tie b/t She's Always In My Hair (fonky in that slowrider cool brotha way) and 17 Days (which was definitely helped by his opening Purple Rain tour in 1985 in Long Beach, CA...playing the entire song behind the curtain...I was a teenager and thought that was THE coolest thing I'd ever seen. And this is after realizing that When Doves Cry has no bass? Ooohhhhh.... And the re-working of that Sex Shooter lick was pretty dope too, eh?

... It never even dawned on me to look for B-sides by The Time! Not that I've ever seen a 12" single for "777-9311" and PASSED on it, but that I never thought to dig either.

17 Days - Prince's greatest b-side.

Erotic City
She's Always In My Hair
Hello
Love or Money
How Come U Don't Call Me... all deserve a mention too.

She's always in my hair is probably one of my favorite songs of Prince's of all times. Love the deep voice.

The best are:
Erotic city
17 days
She's always in my hair
Gotta stop messing about
Shockadelica (stupid but funky)
Horny toad
How come u don't call me anymore
Irresitible bitch

The crappiest are:
Sex
lalala hehehe
200 balloons

The rest are good

It's sad that Prince's old B sides are better then his album tracks of late.
