Cosmic Day is from November 1986.

Pizza isn't circulating, but was apparently recorded in 1981.

Never heard of 'Funny Love', do you mean 'Fun Love'??-that's from 86 too.

Go is only circulating as a short 1 minute snippet, there must be a full version.....somewhere.

God Is Everywhere is from mid-1985

Love And Sex is from Feb 1984.

Traffic Jam is an instrumental from Feb 1984 (the same day as Love And Sex)

Small Bright Light -an unknown song from 1991.

R U Ready was intended fro Larry Graham and dates from 1999

Large Room - do you mean 'In A Large Room With No Light'?? - that's from May 1986.

That'll do for me - someone else can answer the rest. biggrin

Kiss (extended) is not only real (listenin' to it in iTunes right now, Milty!), but it's an official release that you can still buy:

http://www.amazon.com/exe...ce&s=music

...it's got a bunch of Prince/Wendy banter at the end, with them arguing about changing the station on the TV, then commenting on "Prince on television" and how he "looks like a bird." It's pretty entertaining.

Interesting choice of song titles ya got there... PLEASE tell me you're asking cuz you saw them on a new boot or sumfin!!?? If not, then i'm interested where ya saw these titles hmmm

Anyways...
Pizza was a song to be included on the second Vanity 6 album (which I would Kill to have!!!- can u imagine?...It was gonna have their version of Sex shooter, which, if ya ain't heard, kicks Apple's ass, ... also was gonna have 17 days, Vibrator, U call me...)

Kiss Extended Mix Could mean the Ill-fated version mentioned in the line-up of Crystal Ball 2 that was said to be completely different than the released long version.

Love and Sex was apparently originally given to Sheila (which would explain why it says Prince version) for her (ill-fated) 4th paisley park LP, which was said to include Scarlet Pussy as well!

Well, just some tidbits I thought I'd share wit'yall. wink

Cosmic day (Full version) - from November 1986
(around the time of Camille & Crystal Ball, though it's not a 'Camille' track)

Pizza - 1981, early Vanity 6 track (while they were gonna be called 'The Hookers')

Funny love - well there's a track called 'Fun Love' from March 1986

Go (Full version) - from August 1985

God is everywhere - from July 1985 (around the time of the Parade sessions)

Love and sex (Prince version) - There's actually 2 completely different tracks called
'Love And Sex'. The first was from February 1984, then another one in March 1986

Little sister - haven't heard of this one, but since the other titles check out, I wouldn't be
surprised if it's genuine.

Traffic jam - instrumental from February 1984

Small bright light - from 1991

R U ready? - from 1999, intended for a second NPG Graham Central Station album

Large room - probably 'In A Large Room With No Light' (which has also been refered to as
'Darkroom'). From May 1986 (a very productive year!)

The rainbow children (Different version) - there are several alternate versions and remixes of
Rainbow Children tracks (but they're not circulating)

Flesh and blood - from 1989, intended for a second Paisley Park Jill Jones album.

Exploding all over Europe (Rosie Gaines) - from 1992, now circulating (thanks to Lib)

Computer blue mix - there's several edits of Computer Blue, the released one being the
shortest, and the longest clocking in close to 12 mins (including feedback at the end).

Kiss extended mix - there was an extended version officially released when Kiss came out as
a single. There's also an unreleased extended version that was intended to be released on
the aborted 'Crystal Ball II'.

Kiss house mix - again, there's many unreleased mixes of many many tracks, most of which
have never surfaced.

Free mix - possibly a remix of the Prince penned Graham Central Station track

Player - from 1991.

They're all circulating, just not 'circulating' if you get my meaning.

What I mean is they are circulating amongst collectors, but have not yet filtered down to the great unwashed.

There is a hierachy.
