Prince - Tick, Tick, Bang (Demo)

[@SHARKVADERS]

Punk Prince is awesome!

[@runningcommentaryalbumrevi467]

The classic frenetic Prince that half of the studio loves!

[@ballroomblitzkid1994]

Yes, yes, yes! This easily beats the version off of Graffiti Bridge. Kind of sounds like it should've belonged on Controversy.

[@runningcommentaryalbumrevi467]

I think you're right. My thought was Dirty Mind, but we're in the same two years there.

[@ltjplanet]

This demo DESTROYS the album version on Graffiti Bridge!!!

[@MusicIsSpirit]

It so does. This is so much like his "Dirty Mind" punkish era.

[@ballroomblitzkid1994]

I know that's right! :)

[@edm869]

Oh yes it does

[@brianinglis3805]

@@MusicIsSpirit This was actually recorded during the Controversy sessions. Even though it does sound like a Dirty Mind left over.

[@MusicIsSpirit]

@@brianinglis3805 Oh, very cool! Thanks for this!

I love this version more than any other one ☝️

[@ethansloan]

This is fucking great! We need to start getting compilations of his unreleased stuff. I just bought the Purple Rain box set, and it's great, but there's so much more!

Love this raw Punk/New Wave version better. He must have been inspired by his fellow Minneapolis New Wavers, The Suburbs.

Wicked punk rock version sounds like what we'd jump around to in the schoolyard in the Mods Vs Rockers days. Also it sounds like the Dirty Mind era. Love its frenzy. Though i love it from GB i thought it was too rude for the whole narative but understood why it was there when i watched GB. For the storyline it had its place. I love both versions.

I was today years old when I first heard this song. How the hell did this one sneak past me? Songs like this are exactly the kind of dope sh!t that made us all love Prince back in the late 70s and early 80s.

[@jemwand2530]

well, that was NASTY.

[@jasminesymone8683]
