* [[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. | * [[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.

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]]. |
− | * [[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the album’s release date in June 1984 conflicts with the recording of these songs. They were played live together at a [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984 birthday show]], but were initially worked on in the studio as separate tracks. [[Our Destiny]] was recorded by [[Prince]] alone in early June 1984. | + | * [[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the album’s release date in June 1984 conflicts with the recording of these songs. They were played live together at a [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984 birthday show]], but were initially worked on in the studio as separate tracks. [[Our Destiny]] was recorded by [[Prince]] alone in early June 1984. The version here uses the basic tracks recorded on [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984]], albeit seemingly overdubbed so extensively that elements of the live version are very hard to distinguish. Overdubs, including a string and horn section on [[Our Destiny]] were done at [[Sunset Sound]] in September 1984, when the lead vox by [[Lisa Coleman]] (who is not credited for singing lead on the version here) was also recorded. The version of [[Roadhouse Garden]] used here was cut from scratch in the [[Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse]] studio, Eden Prairie, Minnesota in June 1984 and was among the first songs recorded there. |
* [[Possessed]] is the version recorded in March 1984 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]]. An earlier version was recorded in 1983 at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The track on this release is incorrectly attributed to be the 1983 version. | * [[Possessed]] is the version recorded in March 1984 at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California.

− | * [[Wonderful Ass]] dates from November 1982 and was recorded at [[Prince]]’s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen. The song was written about [[Vanity]] and while it may have been considered for the movie at some point, it never made it to any configuration, possibly in part due to the fact [[Vanity]] left the [[Prince]] camp and would no longer be in the movie. The liner notes attribute this song as being from September 1984, but this seems to indicate the time [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] & [[Lisa Coleman|Lisa]] recorded overdubs onto the song. | + | * [[Wonderful Ass]] dates from November 1982 or January 1983 and was recorded at [[Prince]]’s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen.

− | * 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, but the version here is the original 1983 recording. | + | * Initially recorded in April 1983 at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, [[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.

It was likely recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_1|1 March 1983]] in Chicago, Illinois, while on the road on the [[1999 Tour]]. It is not known if it was ever linked to, or considered for the film. |
* [[We Can Funk|We Can F**k]] is the original version of the [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] song [[We Can Funk]]. It was recorded on New Years eve 1983 at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. In 1986 [[Prince]] would re-record a version of it with [[The Revolution]], which remains unreleased, but this original version stays much closer to the released [[We Can Funk]], although it is featured in full length here and obviously misses contributions from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] and his musicians that are on the [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] version. | * [[We Can Funk|We Can F**k]] is the original version of the [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] song [[We Can Funk]].
