Prince Unreleased 282 | Computer Blue [1] (1983) @duane.PrinceDMSR

The first studio recording after premiering at First Ave. in August 1983. A more instrumental version with different vocals by Wendy & Lisa than those on the “Hallway Speech” version. The Wendy & Lisa intro is a few seconds later in the song. The Hallway Speech was not added yet, it’s not in this version. Instead Wendy & Lisa vocals are more highlighted. || Recording Sessions: • Date: August 3, 1983 First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN USA (Live recording) • Date: August 8, 1983 | The Warehouse, St. Louis Park, MN, USA (tracking) • Date: August 15-31, 1983 | Sunset Sound - Studio 3, Hollywood, CA, USA (overdubs) • Date: March 21-22, 1984 | Sunset Sound - Studio 3, Hollywood, CA, USA (edits) • Date: April 14 | March 22, 1984 | Sunset Sound - Studio 3, Hollywood, CA, USA (edits) || Recording Personnel: Prince - all vocals and instruments, except as noted Lisa Coleman - keyboards and vocals Wendy Melvoin - guitars and vocals Bobby Z. - drums and percussion Brown Mark - bass guitar and vocals Matt Fink - keyboards and vocals Susan Rogers - engineer (Warehouse) Peggy McCreary - engineer (Sunset) David Leonard - engineer (Sunset) ^ Prince Vault LISTEN TO his other early unreleased versions Prince Deluxe | Computer Blue (“Hallway Speech”) [2] (1983) @duane.PrinceDMSR    • Prince Deluxe | Computer Blue (“Hallway Sp...   Prince Unreleased 283 | Computer Blue [3] (1983) ​⁠@duane.PrinceDMSR    • Prince Unreleased 283 | Computer Blue [3] ...   Prince Unreleased 284 | Computer Blue [4] (1983) @duane.PrinceDMSR    • Prince Unreleased 284 | Computer Blue [4] ...   Prince Unreleased 285 | Computer Blue [Full Studio Version] (1983) @duane.PrinceDMSR    • Prince Unreleased 285 | Computer Blue [Ful...   #prince #duaneprincedmsr #princeandtherevolution #princerodgersnelson #duaneprinceunreleased #purplerain #computerblue .. ….. .
