*[[Computer Blue]] from August 1984 is the full take of the song on [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], which was then edited down to accommodate the inclusion of [[Take Me With U]] on the original album. This version was dubbed ''“Hallway Speech” version'' by fans, to indicate it includes a segment where [[Prince]] relates a story of a man living in a mansion, escorting a woman to his bedroom, naming the hallways after emotions including lust, fear, insecurity, hate and pain as they pass them. Oddly, the unofficial 'Hallway Speech' name is attributed to the track on this release. There is an even longer, over 14-minute version of the track, but the extra length in that comes from the 'crashing guitar-feedback sounds at the end (on the released original version segueing into [[Darling Nikki]], running for two more minutes. | *[[Computer Blue]] from August 1984 is the full take of the song on [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], which was then edited down to accommodate the inclusion of [[Take Me With U]] on the original album.

The studio version here appears to be somewhat sparse and seemingly unfinished. A live version of the song was recorded on [[03 August 1983|3 August 1983 at First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, USA]] (during the same concert where overdubbed live versions of [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I'm A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]] featured on [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] were recorded). This live rendition of [[Electric Intercourse]] was also overdubbed in September 1983, a few days prior to [[Prince]] recording [[The Beautiful Ones]], which ultimately replaced [[Electric Intercourse]] on the album. It is likely that [[Prince]] not only chose to replace it because [[The Beautiful Ones]] arguably is a better song, but also because the raw sexual lyrics of [[Electric Intercourse]] fitted (being sung to) the persona of [[Vanity]], but not so much her replacement [[Apollonia]]. |
*[[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track in a live rendition from a [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984 one-off show at First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN]]) were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the albums release date in 1984 conflicts with the recording of these songs. Both songs were later worked on in the studio as well, with [[Our Destiny]] being recorded in versions with [[Lisa Coleman]] and [[Jill Jones]] singing the lead. | *[[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track in a live rendition from a [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984 one-off show at First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN]]) were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the albums release date in 1984 conflicts with the recording of these songs.
