Four years earlier, however, the track as '''Extraloveable''' was released on the stand-alone digital single [[Single: Extraloveable|Extraloveable]] in 2011, to promote the [[Welcome 2 Canada Tour]] beginning two days later. While the recording was new, the track itself was 29 years old. | ||
The original track was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 3|3 April 1982]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (two days after re-recording [[Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me?]] and two days before [[3 x 2 = 6]]). The song was considered for inclusion on [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]], but it is not known if a version with vocals by [[Vanity 6]] was recorded. It is possible that the track was worked on further in 1983, as some of the lyrics could be interpreted as referring to [[Dez Dickerson]]’s departure from the band and [[Wendy Melvoin]]’s arrival. | The original track was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 3|3 April 1982]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (two days after re-recording [[Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me?]] and two days before [[3 x 2 = 6]]).

In 1988, engineer [[Chuck Zwicky]] | In 1988, [[Prince]] asked his engineer [[Chuck Zwicky]] to pull out the track from the vault (along with [[Eros]], [[Rain]], [[Rearrange]] and [[Poppa Grooves]]) and mix it: ''"When he was on the Lovesexy Tour, I was assigned to go in the vault and provide mixes for songs that had never been mixed."'' It is not known if there was other plans for that song at that time. | ||
During [[Prince: A Celebration]] in June 2000, computer screens at [[Paisley Park Studios]] offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on [[Album: Crystal Ball Volume II|Crystal Ball Volume II]], and while the track (now known as '''Xtralovable''') was chosen by fans, the project was ultimately abandoned. It is not known whether this version was the same as an earlier version, or an alternate recording. | |||
On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 4|4 March 2011]], the website [http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2011/03/04/prince-is-extra-loveable-but-where-will-he-play-next/#comments drfunkenberry.com] reported that [[Prince]] was "about to unleash" a "25 minute live version" of '''Extraloveable''' (written as '''Extra Loveable'''), but nothing more on that alleged version came out eventually and '''Extraloveable''' had at that point never been played live, so this may be a live in-studio recording. The version eventually released was a studio version, likely recorded later in 2011, featuring a rap by [[Andy Allo]] (who first started performing with [[Prince]] in May 2011); the track was likely recorded at [[Paisley Park Studios]], although this is unconfirmed. | On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 4|4 March 2011]], the website [http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2011/03/04/prince-is-extra-loveable-but-where-will-he-play-next/#comments drfunkenberry.com] reported that [[Prince]] was "about to unleash" a "25 minute live version" of '''Extraloveable''' (written as '''Extra Loveable'''), but nothing more on that alleged version came out eventually and '''Extraloveable''' had at that point never been played live, so this may be a live in-studio recording.
