Old Friends 4 Sale|The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale]]. Two weeks prior to the album’s release, [[Single: Extraordinary|Extraordinary]] was released as a promo-only single in the USA, but no commercial release was planned. Soon afterwards, it was included as the second and final track on a Japanese promo-only single of [[Single: The Rest Of My Life|The Rest Of My Life]]. In 2002, a live version of the track was included as the fourth track on the first disc of [[Prince]]’s first live album [[Album: One Nite Alone... Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]] (along with [[Xenophobia]], [[Avalanche]], [[Family Name]], [[Raspberry Beret]], [[The Everlasting Now]], [[File:EyeBlue.png|link=I Wanna Be Your Lover]][[I Wanna Be Your Lover| Wanna B Ur Lover]], [[Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds & Pearls]], [[The Beautiful Ones]], [[Nothing Compares 2 U]] and [[How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore]] from the same show). |

The song was originally intended for [[Rosie Gaines]]' planned solo album [[Album: Concrete Jungle|Concrete Jungle]], and she recorded vocals for the track, although [[Prince]] reclaimed the track before the known configurations of [[Album: Concrete Jungle|Concrete Jungle]] were compiled in 1993. |

| + | An alternate version of '''Extraordinary''' was one of the Vault tracks recorded between 1990 and 1992 slated to appear on the planned ''Diamonds & Love'' expected to be released by [[The Prince Estate]] in the summer of 2022. That project, which consisted of material spanning both the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] and [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]] eras, was reduced to the [[Album:_Diamonds_And_Pearls_SuperDeluxe|Diamonds And Pearls]] era, excluding songs recorded after October 1991 (and this track as a result). | ||
