    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 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....

      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!

      @@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.

    The legendary live jams, aftershows, in the wee small hours for a dedicated and small crowd, this 12" may come closest to what it may have sounded like. I was not there, never inhaled. Just my imagination. That's enough (5.30)...

    Still amazes me all these years later. At this point in his career Prince was impenetrably cool. He was on a whole other level artistically than any of his peers. Confidently artistic that he knew he could do whatever her wanted and it would be amazing. Sadly the complete opposite of his 90's output just a few years later..
