[[Turn It Up]], [[If It'll Make U Happy]], | [[Turn It Up]], [[If It'll Make U Happy]], [[Moonbeam Levels]] were or may have been considered for the original [[Album: 1999|1999]] album in 1982 but were discarded. This version of [[Moonbeam Levels]] is slightly longer than the one included on the [[Album: 4Ever|4Ever]] posthumous compilation released in 2016. The 1982 version [[Possessed]] is entirely different from the version that appeared on [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain Deluxe]]. | ||
[[You're All I Want]] bears similarities with two other songs written and released around that time (namely [[Delirious]] and [[Horny Toad]]). [[You're All I Want]], and [[Money Don't Grow On Trees]] were planned for [[Album: The Hookers (1982)|'''The Hookers''']] album, which was left unfinished. [[Vagina]] was long thought to have been also recorded for possible use on [[Album: The Hookers (1982)|'''The Hookers''']] album, but its lyrics do not support this idea. Lead vocal overdubs were recorded by [[Vanity]] for [[No Call U]] but the song was not included on the [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]] album. [[You're All I Want]] was later offered to [[Eric Leeds]] for a new [[Madhouse]] album (later called [[Album:_Times_Squared#Quotations_and_trivia|26]] and was listed (as '''U're All Eye Want''') as one of 22 tracks [[Prince: A Celebration]] attendees could vote on for inclusion in the [[Album: Crystal Ball Volume II|Crystal Ball Volume II]] release but nothing came of it. | [[You're All I Want]] bears similarities with two other songs written and released around that time (namely [[Delirious]] and [[Horny Toad]]).

The music and arrangement of [[Rearrange]] are very similar to the later recorded [[Lady Cab Driver]] but it is not known if it was recorded for [[Album: 1999|1999]] or another project. The lyrics of [[Rearrange]] are thematically linked to [[Bold Generation]]. Like [[Feel U Up]], [[Bold Generation]] was reworked and released eight years after its creation as [[New Power Generation]] on the [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] album. [[Can't Stop This Feeling I Got]] was also reworked by [[Prince]] for inclusion on [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. This song was re-recorded in 1986 and offered to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_O%27Clock Three O'Clock] for their [[Paisley Park Records]] album [[Album: Vermillion|Vermillion]] along with a revamped version of [[Teacher, Teacher]]. The latter was also listed on a configuration of the unreleased [[Prince and the Revolution]] album [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] in 1986. | The music and arrangement of [[Rearrange]] are very similar to the later recorded [[Lady Cab Driver]] but it is not known if it was recorded for [[Album: 1999|1999]] or another project.

[[Colleen]], [[Yah, You Know]] and [[Don't Let Him Fool Ya]] were not recorded for a specific project at that time or known to have been offered later to another artist or group. [[Do Yourself A Favor]] is a cover of a song by [[Pepé Willie]] ('''If You See Me''') that [[Prince]] first recorded with [[94 East]] in 1976. The song was still unreleased in 1982 and according to [[Pepé Willie]], [[Prince]] did not have a copy of the song re-recorded it from memory. [[Jesse Johnson]] released a version, clearly inspired by [[Prince]]'s 1982 take, also titled '''Do Yourself A Favor''' (and misses [[Prince]]'s own lyrical contribution to the track, a humorous spoken section in his "[[Jamie Starr]]" voice), on his album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockadelica ''Shockadelica'']. Oddly, the credits on both [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockadelica ''Shockadelica''] and [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999 Deluxe]] are shared by [[Pepé Willie]] and [[Jesse Johnson]], and [[Prince]]'s lyrical contribution are not acknowledged. The original version of '''If You See Me''' was be released 10 years after [[Prince]]'s solo version. | [[Purple Music]], [[Colleen]], [[Yah, You Know]] and [[Don't Let Him Fool Ya]] were not recorded for a specific project at that time or known to have been offered later to another artist or group.
