There is only so many times you can listen to 10 versions of Wonderful Ass. There is a A LOT to go through from the Prince vault, bootlegs and unreleased stuff. What is the best of the best? (Deep cuts and related band tracks accepted). Help me make a list.

reading about how joni mitchell rejected "emotional pump" because she didn't think it "matched her style". for reference, this was the joni mitchell who had recorded fucking _dog eat dog_ the year before. love you joni but at that point in your career that was clearly not a legitimate objection.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Wednesday, 14 December 2016 23:33 (eight years ago)
oh there's an excerpt of prince's version of "yo mister" here! man i forget who put it up here but that is a good one:

i'm appreciating the upside down, sideways and backwards counting that's been going on in this thread. it seems fitting for some reason.

I interviewed the Revolution over the summer, and asked them about their favourite unreleased Prince jams, and it was awesome because each of them pulled out their smartphones and began playing me the tunes. It was like they all have chunks of the vault in their pockets at all times.
― Bog Dole (stevie), Thursday, 23 August 2018 08:50 (six years ago)
That rules.
― An Uphill Battle For Legumes (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 23 August 2018 11:04 (six years ago)
They were gossiping over who was the actual leak from the vault back in the day. Dr Fink said he'd been accused over the years, and was livid about it.
They made me turn off my voice recorder while playing me the tunes, so they were pretty fastidious about it.
― Bog Dole (stevie), Thursday, 23 August 2018 11:07 (six years ago)
[Wendy's choice was Big Tall Wall, which she said could have been a hit. "unfortunately the timing of the lyric is fucking awful – ‘I’m gonna build a big tall wall to keep you in’ – if Trump weren’t the President Of The United States… It’s an amazing pop song, it’s got a great hook, he’s singing his ass off… It’s just a great track."]
In conclusion, buy last month's MOJO, with Prince on the cover [Weller in the UK]
― Bog Dole (stevie), Thursday, 23 August 2018 11:10 (six years ago)
Must have been kind of frustrating for them knowing they had no say in what would be released! Just like Peter Hook in later day new Order
