Extraloveable (UPDATED: US release links)

Prince has dug into his vault and given his fans what they've been wishing for, a classic already-circulating outtake that they'd love to have in crystal clear studio quality.

There's only one hitch. He's once again re-recorded the song in what many are calling an inferior version. He did the same with "In A Large Room With No Light" in 2009 as promotion for his appearance at the 2009 Montreux Jazz Festival.

This time it's the 1999-era outtake "Extraloveable," which seemingly has been ciriculating in its original, sub-CD quality incarnation for almost as long as that album has been out (1982).

It's getting torn to shreds by his hardcore, long-time fan base, which is full of bitter, spoiled whiners -- among whom I'd normally count myself.
