A tape containing a 10-minutes medley of remixes of the track and seven other new songs ([[Interactive]], [[Days Of Wild]], [[Now]], [[Orgasm|Poem]], [[Acknowledge Me]], [[319]], and [[Pheromone]]) as well as the show given at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota on [[13_February 1994-am|13 February 1994, am]] was purchased by some European radio networks. This tape was broadcast in early March 1994 (by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_40 Los 40 Principales] in Spain, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Veronica_(Talpa_Radio) Radio Veronica] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TROS Tros] in The Netherlands and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizer_Radio_DRS DSR3] in the Switzerland). | |||
On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 17|17 May 1994]], multiple remixes of the track were released on the [[Single: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World|The Beautiful Experience]] EP. | |||
Later in 1994, <b>The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Saxophone Version)</b> was released by [[Brian Gallagher]] on his stand-alone single [[Single: Brian Gallagher: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World|The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] (containing [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]’s original version as the b-side). | |||
Around the same time, a gender-reversed recording titled [[Single: The Most Beautiful Boy In The World|The Most Beautiful Boy In The World]] sung by [[Mayte]] was released as a single which also contained a Spanish version, titled <b>¿Quieres Ser El Mas Bello De Este Mundo?</b>. '''The Most Beautiful Boy In The World''' was included as the twelfth and final song on [[Mayte]]’s first and only album [[Album: Child Of The Sun|Child Of The Sun]], released in 1995. | |||
In | In 1995, a slightly different recording of the track was included as the seventh track (fifth song) on [[Prince]]’s 17th album [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], his first using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]. By this time, other versions using the same basic tracks had already been released, however. | ||
[[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] | In March of the same year, an instrumental version (titled '''Beautiful Girl''') was released as a b-side on the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]]’s single [[Single: Get Wild|Get Wild]] (the first single from [[Album: Exodus|Exodus]]), credited to "[[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] and [[Eric Leeds]]" (the only time they have shared an artist credit on a track). | ||
[[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]’s original version and the remix '''Beautiful''' were also included on [[TV Film: The Beautiful Experience|The Beautiful Experience]] TV movie. | |||
Basic tracking for the original version took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 20|20 September 1993]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (on the same day as [[Slave 2 The Funk]]). Remixes and overdubs took place in early 1994 (during the same set of sessions as [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Hate U]][[Eye Hate U| Hate U]], [[Days Of Wild]], and a new version of [[Shhh]]), although specific dates are unknown. | |||
Kahoru Kohiruimaki (who previously recorded [[Bliss]] and [[Mind Bells]]) recorded a Japanese-language version of the track as part of this project, but using new music with no input by [[Prince]]; as such, it is considered a cover version of the song and is not listed below ( | It was announced at one point that [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) intended the song to be recorded in multiple languages by local artists, but it is unknown how many of these recordings took place; one recording that was made was '''Le Plus Bel Homme De L’Univers''' by French model and actress [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oph%C3%A9lie_Winter Ophélie Winter] (intended for a single, [[Single: Le Plus Bel Homme De L’Univers|Le Plus Bel Homme De L’Univers]]), but this remains unreleased. | ||

The '''Beautiful''' remix uses similar production to [[New World]], which it replaced as the b-side for [[Single: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World|The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] single ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] only authorized [[Prince]] to release one song independently, causing [[New World]] to be removed). | The '''Beautiful''' remix uses similar production to [[New World]], which it replaced as the b-side for [[Single: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World|The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] single ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] only authorized [[Prince]] to release one song independently, causing [[New World]] to be removed). | ||

The original version of the track was included as the sixth track (third song) on a March 1994 configuration of [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], and kept as the sixth track (third song) on a May 1994 configuration.

The '''Mustang Mix''' of the song was also re-recorded in 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], and was planned for inclusion on [[Album: The Dawn|The Dawn]] album, and as a single release, [[Single: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Mustang Mix '96)|The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Mustang Mix '96)]], both of which remain unreleased.

The song’s chorus is heavily sampled on the track [[2morrow]]. | ||
[[Mayte]]’s version, '''The Most Beautiful Boy In The World''', was included as the eleventh track (labeled a "bonus track") on an early version of her first album, which was titled [[Album: Child Of The Sun|Latino Barbie Doll]] at the time, with the Spanish version, '''¿Quieres Ser El Mas Bello De Este Mundo?''', included as the twelfth and final track (also labeled a "bonus track"), before the album underwent some changes prior to release. | |||
In 1995, two Italian songwriters, Bruno Bergonzi and Michele Vicino filed a lawsuit against Prince for plagiarism. Bergonzi and Vicino claimed that [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] borrowed heavily from one of their song called ''Takin’ Me To Paradise'' released by Raynard J. in 1983. Bergonzi and Vicino won their case in 2007. This judgement was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Cassation in Italy in 2015, acknowledging Bergonzi and Vicino as co-authors of [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]]. Although this decision is only limited to the Italian territory (where the song is banned for distribution), it impacted the status of [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] in other countries. After [[Prince]]’s passing, his [[The Prince Estate|Estate]] re-released many of his albums physically (through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Sony’s Legacy Recordings]), except [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] because of this legal action. All of his albums were also made available on streaming plateforms including [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], but without [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]]. It was not until February 2022, after the dispute was settled, that the song was finally put online. | |||

*A drum sample used in some of the remixes of the song ('''Staxowax''', '''Flutestramental''', '''Sexy Staxophone And Guitar''' and the 10-minute version) is originally from ''You’ll Like It Too'' by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funkadelic Funkadelic] (from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_%26_Disconnections Connections & Disconnections], 1980). That sample also appears on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ compilation "Beats, Breaks & Scratches Volume 1" as ''Funky Roll'' (released in 1987). [[Prince]] likely took it from there as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ ''Beats, Breaks & Scratches'' compilations were heavily used by him and his associates in the early nineties on various songs and remixes. The same ''Funky Loop'' sample also appears on [[Color]] and [[Jam Of The Year]]. | |||
