sounds v similar to an extended live-in-studio PR era "I Would Die 4 U" i have that's 'only' 8 minutes or so, so psyched to have one that's even longer -- one of my favorite songs ever that takes on a whole new amazing shape in those live arrangements

even if this isn't real -- i mean i have no reason to believe it isn't, but, you know, "internet" -- and like some modern producer's insane disco-edit, it's still fucking amazing.

no, it's definitely real, sounds like a lot of live arrangements i've heard of the song from that era.
one of the most vivid and cherished musical memories of my life is listening to the the 10-minute version on my iPod on the last day of my honeymoon, standing on the beach in australia
― burrito smalls (some dude), Wednesday, 24 October 2012 03:43 (eleven years ago) link
still can't believe this song placed #16 on the Prince tracks poll, unfuckwithable
― burrito smalls (some dude), Wednesday, 24 October 2012 03:45 (eleven years ago) link
no it's totally real i mean that is some unified 80s production there
haha maybe i just dont want to think about reams of shit like this existing out there that i'll never get to hear

the vocals that come in toward the 7 minute mark, that's my standing on the beach in Cairns moment

I'm pretty sure that that version is featured on The Work bootleg compilation along with the 8 minute version too if I recall correctly.

who's on sax there? eric leeds? i thought he came later
― Crackle Box, Wednesday, 24 October 2012 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
Well, Leeds was in the Family with Wendy's sister, I think. Which came about right after the Time dissolved. But he was definitely in the MN mix somewhere.

i love you gr8080!!!!!!

I don't have time to listen now but iirc he called out the horns by names other than Eric and Atlanta.

The 26 minute version sounds a lot like the official 10 minute version that was released on the "I Would Die 4 U" 12-inch 8. Maybe the 10 minute version was edited from that, or it's a different take recorded in the same session? Anyway, no doubt this a totally legit bootleg, not a fake.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 25 October 2012 08:43 (eleven years ago) link
i got a 31 min versh which, bizarrely is the same recording but not slower or with any loopage - same beginning, same end, can't figure where the extra time comes from. been around for years. forgot i had it until checking this thread.

Lots of great stuff getting out there in recent months. Seems an old associate may be leaking tracks - at least that's the rumor. Searching for "P3rf3ct Unr3l3as3d Princ3" - for example - will yield some nuggets.

It sounds like there must be an even longer version tho? It fades out at the end as it sounds like they're shifting into something new.
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Thursday, 25 October 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
it's possible they're still playing it in some other dimension. neverendless.

I dunno I kinda like it? Little bit 'Dirty Mind' in the hook, or something. My only complaint is that I was waiting for a big fuckoff dancey chorus and it never came ;_;

well, uh, the keyboards sound nice and prince-y at least

yeah, got that, too. but they're so quiet and underutilized, though, like he's saying "yeah, here's your precious "prince". now here's what i'm really about..."

That actually wasn't bad. It wasn't great, but at least it wasn't a train wreck.

This is wack. Prince Autopilot again after "20ten" which was mostly really good. Cool look, though.

Groove's all right, but no tune at all. And he sounds real bored.

I actually really like this. Sounds like 'Take Me With You' a bit, particularly the synths.

if anyone else was playing this song you'd never say that
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 05:44 (eleven years ago) link
not true...it's a bad prince song, but so clearly written by him. if anyone else was playing it i'd think they were trying to do prince, "oh sheila" style.

Since Sheryl Crow's backing band is all male, yeah, it kinda makes you sound like a dick.
