The Sex Of It (Kid Creole?)

I just found out that an old Kid Creole & The Coconuts song I used to listen to in the late 80s called "THE SEX OF IT" was actually written by Prince and featured Sheila E on drums.

Well, I've managed to get hold of Prince's original version of it!!

It's great, but got me wondering, what hell is this FANTASIA bootleg it apparently appeared on? What else was on it.

But, the SEX OF IT is a damn good Prince track!

Fantasia is an old 3CD set of out-takes on the now-defunct Moonraker label (later Thunderball) - If memory serves it was out about '97, and featured the first (I think) pressed bootleg appearance of 'The Dream Factory' (the song) and 'U Gotta Shake Something' . It was also noted for being of great sound quality for a bootleg, and was the first of a series of Moonraker/Thunderball 3CD releases that eventually later spawned 'The Work' series, which was a kind of chronological repackaging/expanded version of these previous 3CD sets.

U say U want simplicity

The sex of it {x2}

I gave U a diamond ring my friend
But that didn't get U off
French cologne a hundred bucks an ounce (Ooh)
All U did was cough
U say U want simplicity
U don't like love complex

The thrills of it
The chills of it
The spills of it
Baby, baby, U just want me 4 the sex

Make U understand that's all I wanna do
Damn my life, I'd rather spend it all with U
I couldn't love U anymore, I guess I'll hate U next
(Couldn't love U anymore)
Confess U witch! (What?)
U Just want me 4 the sex

The thrills of it
The chills of it
The spills of it
U just want me 4 the sex {repeat verse}

The sex of it (Hey)
The sex of it

Gimme gimme gimme

Ow!

Uh, excuse me, darlin' but uh...
Do U think it's possible that U could cover your outer extremities?
(Ooh!)
Because I am expecting some people, uh 2 come over 2 the house
(Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme)

Gimme gimme gimme

Like it, like it {x2}

Ow!

The sex of it {repeat to fade}

There is a boot with the same title (Dream Factor Records 002-1992) that has a 42min-version on it. "Listen how the song is build up right from the beginning to the end and at last is ready for recording".
