The crazy thing is it's all relative.. it's one thing to appreciate his timeless music 30 years later but to hear it upon it's release within that time and space had to be surreal.
The breakdown at around 4:38 is ridiculous! And listening to this track I can't help but wonder if Ready for the World heard this bootleg and said 'That's It!', and repackaged the groove 'Oh Sheila'. Respect and RIP to the Purple One.
The song starts with Prince praising a talented woman for being humble, and by the end of he song he wants her so much he is on the verge of commiting a felony. WOW! One of my favorite songs.
Prince was definitely the master of the high energy songs back in the day. If this song was released in the 80's, it would have put "Let's Go Crazy" in second place on my favorite Prince songs.
Prince on guitar could break anybody with his sizzling licks. True magician on the electric guitar. Kids need to learn the play instruments again and stop washing sounds through computers. Prince was a brilliant musician that could play any instrument and it showed.
Really Jesse Johnson took it to his Ass on the 1999 Tour as did Terry Jimmy Monte Ben Jerome and Morris even Mike Sc ott gave Prince a run For His Money
I can't sit still with this one..... This is Pure young uncut Prince. Back then all his music sound as if was influenced by electricity & cream...... I'm about to Play this at least 6 more times before I leave this page. Thanks for posting this...... In a odd way I'm glad that to many people don't know about this song. It's like a high, & its so good I don't care to share it........ (Ground Marshall I can't hear you.)
I am so psyched to have found this!!! He was so full of energy!! I have this on the Hit and Run album but this version transported me to a time and place. Its got me really emotional and full of nostalgia.
Who is here in 2020 listening to this dope at Prince track? Prince is the Immortal One and his music shall live forever and stay relevant for all eternity. Prince dopest ever.
It’s an absolute travesty that this groove was deemed ‘offensive’ and left off the 1999 deluxe reissue!! This is one of Prince’s most well known and loved bootlegs. To have this remastered and cleaned up would have been worth the money of the disc alone!!
Call me MONKH! Because there’s a couple of lines near the end where Prince says he’d like to rape you! It’s ridiculous that the song was left off the album for that reason!
@@QuackersAhoy it's not ridiculous, it's reasonable. can you imagine the fuss it would create if this song were on the reissue??? their plan is to reintroduce prince to this new generation, to keep his legacy alive. how do you think kids today would take these lyrics? i love the song but this part..... it's just not acceptable....

@@PurpleRain500 prince lived in a different time and i comprehend that... honestly, i'm sure he also saw the problem in these lyrics and that's why he changed them to hitnrun
I hope this track is released properly on vinyl. I know we have "Xtraloveable" on HitNRun 2, but this version is a jam. I get this version stuck in my head a lot.
I discovered this song in 95' on PPML, Paisley Park Mailing List, exchanging a copy of my America 22 min version and Little Red Corvette ext version for this song with another ppml member. This was pre-You Tube and Napster was about to be banned. It was tough getting prince bootlegs back then. I got this song and WONDERFUL ASS in the mail.
THERE AINT NOBODY THAT CAN TOUCH PRINCE,NOT EVEN ON A GOOD DAY,THE MAN WAZ/IZ THE DEFINITION OF GR8NESS/LEGEND,HE LEFT US TREASURES/BLESSINGZ 2 ALWAYZ LOVE AND GO ON A TRIP, MAY YALL LIVE 2 SEE THE DAWN,MAKE LOVE NOT WAR,EROTIC CITY COME ALIVE!!! - IM ZONE
Back again to listen for about the 200th time .Lol haven't heard this song in so long ..It's like I'm addicted !!! Biggest fan since I was 12 yrs old .Wow I'm old ! Lol over 35 yrs .
Thank you.Prince will always be the greatest singer to me for all Times.May Jehovah remember you. When I was down,Angry, or just wanted to sing prince was there for me.
I'm reminded of my crew I ran with back in the day early 80s all of us sang Prince and the Time songs all day, trying to pull the ladies, this would have been really special back then clearly a number 1 hit RIP purple Yoda
The fact this wasn’t released makes me love him even more. He could throw away songs this good cause there was always another coming, He flirted with controversy and shock in his song writing but also had a really strong moral compass and that evolved throughout his career. I’m glad his estate has followed that principle since his passing. With that said, I’m also really glad we get to hear this, because it’s a fucking JAM.
I have the Hit n Run CD. It's the first time I heard it there. it's so purely electric super groove & the sound quality on this cd was astounding. Every song on this cd is Superior.
Good lord this song is just perfection isn't it? THIS is the song that hooked me on Prince so many years ago. The quality of this song is just astounding, I mean most artists don't release their demos because they just aren't good, Prince though, the best stuff he held back! Really hope we get to hear this one in all its purple pristine pleasure someday. Shame it wasn't included on 1999 Deluxe. There clearly is a specific lyric in this song that Prince would not approve of being released, and if that is what held it back from inclusion, I think most of us would be OK with that line edited out, as opposed to never having this song at all. The same can be said with Lust U Always, which shares a very similar line, but from a historical record standpoint, both of these should have been on the set and it was a missed opportunity in my humble purple opinion. That being said though, the new 1999 Super Deluxe set looks amazing in every respect, and is well beyond any expectation I could have had for it.
Michael Howe, the archivist, said that he and the Estate feel that Prince is a basically a bad person for writing his lyrics so they prefer to cheat the fans instead of respecting Prince.
@@MrBKings LMAO Howe would never say that crap, he's a Prince fan. What he actually said was, "The only things I wish [we could have included], just for the sake of completeness, were Lust U Always and Extraloveable. It was just a non-starter, unfortunately. They’re obviously two tracks that are resolutely in the era, but both have very unfortunate rape references in them. I think the follow-up question is: Why didn’t you just do a fade? Edit it? That goes back to the guiding principle of dealing with this stuff with as much completeness and respect as possible, taking as few creative liberties as possible. Messing with the art, basically, is not something we want to do. We were left with the best bad choice possible…"
@@timhulsizer He actually did say that in the word salad, mumbo jumbo, self righteous nonsense you quoted him as saying. You just can't "read between the lines" to see that.
@@MrBKingsExplain how any of that is saying Prince is a bad person. You have no argument, you’re just calling it word salad mumbo jumbo because you’re mad about it without explaining why.
@@micahskariah2384 "Good" people aren't censored, only people that are deemed as"bad" are. You really needed me to explain that? Also, where did I say I was mad?
I haven't heard this in 4 years, not since I was 12. I was obsessed with this man between the ages of 12-13 and used to have this song on my old blackberry aha. I was reminded of it yesterday when someone released 2 1/2 hours of unreleased prince songs on soundcloud (sadly it's already been deleted). I remember playing this on the bus on the way to a Buddhist temple on a school trip aha. RIP my love 💜
This is my jam right here! I can listen to it in "any version" that he made of it including the ones with NPG horns! Still listening to it in 2020! Love it, the Funkmaster doing his thing! Thanks for sharing this version🎶❤🎶
Best song PRN has ever done. And he has done so much for music. I hear/see influence every day through the tapestry of his artistry of each generation. EDM especially.
I listened to Prince's song "goodbye" on my phone when my father called in the middle of this song and gave me information about his death. It was magical, like telepathy, I will never forget it. It was like saying goodbye to me ...saying goodbye to a fan, artist, wave of lament...Sign of life after death?
How this man’s outtakes are better than most people’s songs is just a modern marvel. We needed the original “Extralovable” on that deluxe “1999” release. It’s a travesty they left it off. I know they left it out because of that infamous line he says in it. But given the fact that Warner Bros and others have artists on their label who rap about killing folks, and no one says a word about it, I don’t see the issue. Prince makes one cheeky remark and everyone has the vapors. I don’t get it and I think that alone is a microcosm of everything wrong with our society. Always focused on any and everything but what we need to be focused on. Plenty of people in the grave because of “diss songs,” yet the labels continue to perpetuate and promote that sort of music. Then they wanna censor a genius? I don’t get it. It’s bs! This should have been released, rape line and all. It’s not even said in a derogatory way, it’s extremely sensual as he’s expressing that he will literally do anything to be with this woman. And then the sound goes crazy as he falls into the dark erotic recesses of his mind. This song is a TOTAL trip into his psyche (passion, lust and rage) and shows up everything he ever did before AND after it. And to think he was only 24 at the time. Mayte spoke about the tracks he showed her that he said the world wasn’t ready for. I BET you this was one of them. This is some of his finest work, and he knew it which is why he released some form of it TWICE before he left this planet.
My all time favorite song. I get tears in my eyes on this day hearing it. I love you Prince, thank you for sharing your gift with us. May U live to see the Dawn
This track should have been included in the just-released Prince 1999 Super Deluxe Edition, rape reference and all - it's by far the BEST unreleased outtake from his 1999 studio sessions/period - the remake is OK, but slowed down, too slick, diluted - this is the potent, raw original - amazing cut!
TOTALLY agree! This should have been released, rape line and all. It’s not even said in a derogatory way, it’s extremely sensual as he’s expressing that he will literally do anything to be with this woman.

Even the great ones have to leave. This is why Solomon wrote Vanity of vanities. All is vanity. Even life itself. Because nothing lasts on this earth but the Word of God the Lord Jesus Christ!
DJ Blur they definitely have the masters to this in the vault. They NEED to release this song officially with a remaster. I will die a happy man if they do.
Prince. Oh, Prince. Even his demos sound better than many other musicians' masterpieces.
So true!!!
So correct!
I see what you did there. Seems like you're ready...
Heck yeah!
You ain’t lying one bit!!!
It's a crime this wasn't on 1999.
So Prince was a criminal, cuz many of great songs didn't make it on an album
Yep. This has the sound from 1999
Just an opinion, relax.
-There will never be another like this dude..
you got that right!! only one of a KIND!!!
Yes!!!
Truth he is the best
One of the best Prince songs to never be released....
th-cam.com/video/ADqZAXm67P8/w-d-xo.html new cover version of the song. Its dope!
One of his best songs, period.
Yes Indeed
Best prince song. This is when he was hungry raunchy and raw!
This song is still pushing at *today's* taboos, forget 1984!
He was among other things the last truly dangerous man in rock.
Yeah
Michael Mayer ...., I'd say everything he did from 78 - 82. Absolutely incredible!!! Now that was raw, raunchy, sexy and controversial.
The very best of Prince...Raw and uncut///Loved it!!!
Absolutely the best Prince song ever.
この楽曲の新録版を2011年に購入し衝撃を受けました！
昔のプリンスっぽいファンキーな楽曲だと感動し何度も聴いていましたが、今このTH-camで80年代に収録された音源があった事を知りました！
若い頃のお気に入りのアルバム1999に収録される予定の楽曲だったなんて皆さんのコメントを読むまで知りませんでした。
プロデューサーは盲目だったのか！？信じられない！日本ではこの楽曲自体がほとんど知られていません！
it’s CRIMINAL that this won’t be the on 1999 6-disc (35 demos) remaster in November. what the hell is the estate thinking 😔
ARE YOU SERIOUS??!
💜 Maybe it's the R-Word holding both this great song and Lust U Always from being added. Both those songs are incredible.💜🛀💜
It's on the Hit N Run cd. Isn't that enough?
@@nibirumyself1 That is a new version without the LM-1, is great too but have other sound.
I guess the ME Too movement spooked them!
Prince's unreleased content from 81', 82', 83', and 84' are GOLD✨✨✨✨ and 86' too !!!!
ariana336pm Right!!! He was DEFINITELY in the zone at that time.
Nothing better than Prince in his 20s!
The crazy thing is it's all relative.. it's one thing to appreciate his timeless music 30 years later but to hear it upon it's release within that time and space had to be surreal.
He's saying Brown Mark (his basist) not Ground Marshall
@ariana336pm Well actually, I prefer to start with "Dirty Mind" circa '80...
It’s like he just didn’t want another #1 hit. This shit would’ve killed the charts. Hit me
😂😂😂 maybe he had too much to count I love this comment
Prince was king of the Linn Drum. Pure awesomeness.
Someone asked me how could I cry for someone I never met!......
You don’t need to meet to have that emotional connection. Cry!
Still crying!
I am still crying purple tears!💜💜💜💜!
purest form of early 80's Punk-Funk
Holy crap this song is amazing. The bass line is bomb
I know baby, and this is the first time i'm hearing this. Yazzz!😝😁😁😁
The breakdown at around 4:38 is ridiculous! And listening to this track I can't help but wonder if Ready for the World heard this bootleg and said 'That's It!', and repackaged the groove 'Oh Sheila'. Respect and RIP to the Purple One.
Now you have me thinking…..
Musically, I would say this outclasses much of today’s music in terms of production and what is considered “funk” or “rock.”
YES 💜💜
Musically died kill rap
hello fellow anime pfp
How one man could do all of this just blows my mind, literally.
This is magnificent. Modern day MOZART.
I loved his original guitar sound. I think it's the best of his career.
Agreed. Purple Rain on back, his guitar tracks were killing!

Let's hope so but the rape lyric might be a problem for official release.

One of many masterpieces😍😍
This track should have been included in the just-released Prince 1999 Super Deluxe Edition, rape reference and all - it's by far the BEST unreleased outtake from his 1999 studio sessions/period - the remake is OK, but slowed down, too slick, diluted - this is the potent, raw original - amazing cut!
TOTALLY agree! This should have been released, rape line and all. It’s not even said in a derogatory way, it’s extremely sensual as he’s expressing that he will literally do anything to be with this woman. And then the sound goes crazy as he falls into the dark erotic recesses of his mind. This song is a TOTAL trip into his psyche (passion, lust and rage) and shows up everything he ever did before AND after it. And to think he was only 24 at the time. Mayte spoke about the tracks he showed her that he said he knew the world wasn’t ready for. I BET you this was one of them. This is some of his finest work, and he knew it which is why he released some form of it TWICE before he left this planet.
Even the great ones have to leave. This is why Solomon wrote Vanity of vanities. All is vanity. Even life itself. Because nothing lasts on this earth but the Word of God the Lord Jesus Christ!
This song is gold, prolific genius... Te podrías perder en sus ojos egipcios... Prince sabe tocarte esa parte dormida del alma, i miss you...
So much better than the newer version. Love this and Moonbeam Levels.
sure, no argument here but worth noting a few Lyrics better in new version and the horn arrangement in the reloaded version is ace.
Album version is ok (love the album, Groove Potential, Stare and Revelation are killer tracks). But this is another level.
it's way better than anything Another Level did! ;-)
DJ Blur they definitely have the masters to this in the vault. They NEED to release this song officially with a remaster. I will die a happy man if they do.
+DJ Blur he re-done it and released it on his HitnRun Phase two album
love this song r I p Prince😢😢😢
this def needs to be released ASAP
