We LOVED the spacial audio of the Glam Slam ‘92 show included on Diamonds and Pearls SDE so it was time to check out the video. Could this be the best Prince concert show ever released?

Of course Prince made WAY more music than could even be included on Diamonds and Pearls. We are delighted - but are we really? - that we got many of these outtakes in the Super Deluxe set and we check out some of them this episode.

A early 90's compilation of Paisley Park and NPG Records artists that you could only get by calling a toll-free number where - it's rumored - that Prince himself might occasionally answer the phone? Yes, please! Josh called the number back in the day, but sadly never got Prince on the horn - but he DID get this partially awesome and always perplexing collection of songs.

Two maxi singles from an album that Prince didn't want to promote? Yup. Lots more music from "Come" - some of it by Prince, some not. Either way, there is lots of interesting stuff on the Letitgo and Space maxi singles. Additionally, we check out a couple alternate versions of Come, Race and what we believe to be the original version of Loose! from the Glam Slam Ulysses stage show. Whoop it up y'all.
