Bass Player on Love Bizarre Extended Mix I know the purple one wanted to give Sheila E most of the credit for this amazing song, but I need confirmation.
Was it P that played bass on Love Bizarre? Listen to the 12:18 length mix. The bass on this is insane. If this is in fact P, wow. I know he can do it all but this really shows it all. That on top of the fact that he did this in Atlanta while on tour in 1985, just don't know how this guy had the energy.

Of course it's Prince, who else would it be.....the rhythm guitar is brilliant as well | |

It's not Brown Mark?
Not trying to take credit from P, just unreal he does it all and does each one very well. Even the guitar, he is hitting some jazz lines in there. You know he probably cut it in the middle of the night while on tour. | |

Princevault's credits are strangely ambiguous in that case. From my understanding Sheila didn't play anything but percussions on that album, not even drums, because IIRC, according to Per Nilsen's DMSR Prince recorded the album by himself before submitting the songs to Sheila, but I don't know for sure.

Hahaa, Tevin Cambell that's a good one.
That's the mystery of P, the credits are not really explained at all. I do think this was a hand off to Sheilia, his vocals included. He's almost singing the lead more and she is the back up in some parts of the song.

I definitely think it's Prince, as the bass playing seems to have his distinct sensibilities. Like when he busts into a funky "Frère Jacques" at around 8 minutes. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

. . I suspect this song originates rather as a Summer/early Autumn 1984 Prince track, rather than laid down specifically for Sheila. Early-1985 production has a recognizably different quality about it; "Sister Fate", or "My Man" on Jill Jone's eponymous, or "Hello" the B-Side. . It actually thematically would fit better with The Family, although I would not go so far as to suggest that it was considered for that project. The production, however, is highly similar to to the immediately-prior-to-PR-tour (late-mid '84) sound, ala "Screams of Passion" (sans Claire Fischer), a similar lyrical muse to "High Fashion". . I would speculate that it was pulled out (or repurposed/ceded over) likely to maintain the momentum of her previous quite successful album, and partially reworked or overdubbed later (January 1985 and/or March/April 1985, with Eddie M's work, and Sheila's shared lead and backing vocal tracks); the remaining Romance 1600 tracks are to varying degrees mediocre (and clearly rushjob soundcheck/after-show/mobile recording vehicle initial tracks spruced and finalized later on), and without ALB, there was no "The Glamorous Life"-scale single, with a high likelihood of massive commercial success, to be drawn from that other material. . Even ABL itself may have been a bit too jazzy and temperamental, and the public slightly surfeited from PR, to break the Billboard Top 10, but it obviously came as close as one can. . .

"LoveBizarre" is a
But glad U brought up the bass! Peeps always talk about his bass on "Let's Work" & 777-9311. But he also killed it on "Love Bizarre" which is still in rotation on Kcool-FM....  will ALWAYS think of  like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

This is simply the album version, which I still have on vinyl. I have ALWAYS tripped on his bass playing on this cut... the clean jazz guitar lines too. . Yup. That's P alright. . ~G "He's a musician's musician..." | |

What the hell are you talking about? Do you even know? Album version, fool-12:18. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
What's the difference, if any, between this and the 45 version split into parts one and two? I'm guessing none.
Somebody let me know. | |

You guessed wrong:
Album - A Love Bizarre (12:18) 7" Single - A Love Bizarre (Edit) (3:46) & A Love Bizarre (Part II) (3:48) 12" Single - A Love Bizarre (Parts I & 2) (7:13)

It's genius that put this on Sheila's album! It helped sells and also; he didn't have to edit it down for his own albums @ the time.. will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"!
