![]() ![]() ![]() I would think that if there were a fully fledged studio version of IWD4U, we would have heard about it by now, and it would more than likely be in circulation. ![]() I am inclined to agree with you in that the song was probably demoed in the studio or rehearsal prior to the recording of the live version which ended up on the album. The book does not state whether the "studio" version is a demo or otherwise.

The original Raspberry Beret and Lust U Always were recorded between late '81 and December 31st '82. published Prince's Purple Rain was the epic ballad that reclaimed rock for black musicians, enjoying airplay everywhere from country to rock radio (Image credit: Richard E. Well, the list is of recordings made between Jan '83 and April '84. Shouldn't "Raspberry Beret", "Lust U Always", and "Traffic Jam" be on that list too?

The mix is good and might be mistaken for a "studio" version, perhaps. It was one of the songs that was edited down when he put "Take Me With U" on the record (others suffering that fate were "Computer Blue", "Darling Nikki", and "The Beautiful Ones").
