    I'm going to say what all followers of Prince have thought, since he transitioned: The ultimate release would be a box set of every 12" Extended B side song that's he's recorded. True followers would run to get it and newer followers would see a side of him that would make them understand what they've been missing. Peace to the true and the new. It takes all of us to carry his legacy forth. Peace and maintain love 4 1another. 👊🏽💜🙏🏽🔥

      I like the concert version with the electronic drum gunshot sounds that replaced the snare drum I remember first seeing the video on USA networks Radio 1990 because our cable system didn’t carry MTV at the time and now I can continuously see it on TH-cam thank god it shows prince and drum playing skills when he took over the Simmons electric drum kit I find it strange he never used that kit only then because previously he had a black Simmons kit then he had a custom made diamond shaped kit which he used right up to the disband of the revolution 🤔💯⚠️

    I remember buying this when it came out. I was 18 thinking ain't nobody doing this shit in pop music! I will always consider Prince as alternative, in the sense that he truly embodied the title of doing something different than most artists out there. He was all over the place musically and covered more waterfront in one song or album than most artists covered in a entire career....

    • @DeluxeOmaha

      @@DeluxeOmaha it was meant as a compliment, not as white nonsense... apologies if it offended you. Was not meant to offend. It was meant to refer to him as being a true chameleon of music, where as the word "alternative" took on a different meaning when grunge came around. Pryor to that, it meant different and unique to mainstream artists. I was not replying with race or ethnicity in mind. I don't believe that I deserve to be dogged for simply trying to give praise. This will be my only reply to you or anyone for that matter. This is the part of the internet that I loathe. Again my apologies....

      I also remember buying when it came out (as an import, due to me being in the so-called "united kingdom") and being astonished at the length and repetition of it.
      Later, when I got into the German Kosmische Musik of the 70's, Minimalism, Acid House and improvisation it made even more sense to me!
      I often play my own re-edit of this 12-inch out when I DJ.

      @@antonioochoa9209 you totally did not deserve Deluxe Omaha's response. It's not your fault they they jumped to a conclusion based on their ignorance and limited understanding nor their comfort level with showing out from a narrow point of view without putting forward any genuine investigatory questions whatsoever, nor your responsibility to soothe with an apology their bruised ego. Of course, you yourself recognized this and expressed as much in your response. Nor do you need my validation. That said, I totally understood what you meant and agree. Prince was not satisfied with mere mainstream success and tracking his discography bears evidence of that. He was a true artist. I imagine that dissatisfaction stems from in no small part how restrictive, rigid and narrow appealing to the fickle mainstream continues to be. His artistry and skill are vast and far too much for the mainstream to ever dream of containing.
