Some old Prince outtakes have leaked in the last month or so. A vocal version of "Lust U Always" (1982, below), "An American In Paris" (1989), "Our Destiny" (1984) with Lisa Coleman on lead vocals, and an extended remix of "Vicki Waiting" from the Batman soundtrack that adds some funky rhythm guitar.
Supposedly these are all coming from a new bootleg of new and upgraded classic-era outtakes called "Connections" some time in the near future.
Curiously, Prince has also been dusting off some old tracks and releasing them in various forms. "Extraloveable" was updated in a studio version and released to iTunes/Amazon late last year. Additionally, he's put out rehearsal versions of "The Dance Electric," "Mutiny/Ice Cream Castles" and "Days Of Wild" (w/ the Time's "Wild And Loose") on various pages as promotion for his recent "Welcome 2 Australia" tour.
Most of them are worth tracking down, and I can't help but wonder if this is all adding up to something in the near future. Until we find out, tide yourself over with the pick of the litter.....
