In 1993, it was included as the sixth track on [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The B-Sides]] compilation (included as the third and final disc on [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]]). |

− | + | ||
+ | The song was then completely re-recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October_27|27 October 1986]] at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA (the day after overdubs on [[Housequake]], the day before [[Rebirth Of The Flesh]] and [[Rockhard In A Funky Place]]), as the earliest recorded song that ended up on the scrapped [[Album: Camille|Camille]] album. This new version was included as the fourth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 5|5 November 1986]] configuration of the album [[Album: Camille|Camille]], but it was discarded when that album evolved into the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] triple-album. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The 1986 version as slated for the [[Album: Camille|Camille]] album (dubbed '''Feel U Up (Long Stroke)''', but would have been on the [[Album: Camille|Camille]] as just '''Feel U Up'''), was subsequently released when it was included on the [[Single: Partyman|Partyman]] single in 1989. A shorter edit (now dubbed '''Feel U Up (Short Stroke)''', but not previously slated for any specific release, was also on the [[Single: Partyman|Partyman]] single. The song was now simply credited to [[Prince]], rather than the pseudonym [[Alias: Camille|Camille]] as it would have been in 1986. | ||

So even when a slightly different mix of this track might exist, the now released version is not considered a true alternate mix of the track. |
