The second disc, ''From The Vault & Previously Unreleased'', contains material purportedly from the sessions of the original [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] album, although in fact some songs were never considered for the [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] album, or are even from sessions that took place after the original album's release. | The second disc, ''From The Vault & Previously Unreleased'', contains material purportedly from the sessions of the original [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] album, although in fact some songs were never considered for the [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] album, or are even from sessions that took place after the original album's release. | ||
− | * [[The Dance Electric]] was originally offered to and released by [[André Cymone]] on his [[Album: A.C.|A.C.]] album in 1985.

* [[Love And Sex]] is from February 1984 and was recorded by [[Prince]] alone at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, California. The title was in fact found on a handwritten sequence for the album, although it was crossed out on there and was likely never seriously considered to be featured on the album. | * [[Love And Sex]] is from February 1984 and was recorded by [[Prince]] alone at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, California.

− | * [[Computer Blue]] from August | + | * [[Computer Blue]] from August 1983 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 also 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. |
* [[Electric Intercourse]] (attributed here as 'Studio Version', presumably to distinguish it from a much bootlegged live/rehearsal version) was originally recorded in July 1983. 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]] is arguably 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]]. | * [[Electric Intercourse]] (attributed here as 'Studio Version', presumably to distinguish it from a much bootlegged live/rehearsal version) was originally recorded in July 1983.

* [[Possessed]] is presented here as the '1983 version', but it is in fact the version recorded in March 1984. The 1983 version was recorded with the full band at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota in mid 1983, while the version here was a solo-effort by [[Prince]] done at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. part of this 1984 version can be heard as an instrumental in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]. It is unclear why the version here is attributed to be the 1983 version. | * [[Possessed]] is presented here as the '1983 version', but it is in fact the version recorded in March 1984.

* Initially recorded in April 1983, [[Velvet Kitty Cat]] was originally created for [[Vanity 6]]'s second album and later also considered for the [[Album: Apollonia 6| Apollonia 6]] album, but was never placed on any [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] configuration. In May 1985 [[Prince]] re-recorded the track from scratch, making it a more rock-a-billy style vamp. | * Initially recorded in April 1983, [[Velvet Kitty Cat]] was originally created for [[Vanity 6]]'s second album and later also considered for the [[Album: Apollonia 6| Apollonia 6]] album, but was never placed on any [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] configuration.
