* incomplete lyrics... help if U can

SUZY

Suzy

R U the girl 4 me

R U what U pretend 2 B

Suzy

They say that you're a man

Suzy

I don't understand
Just do me a favour

and tell me the truth

Suzy

Say U R a freak

She's on the phone again

But sounds like a man

She was on the phone again

But it sounds like a man

Girl your voice is real sexy

But sounds just like a man 2 me

Girl your voice is real sexy

But sounds just like a man 2 me

Tuesday

Was the day I was 2 meet

Suzy

that girl is called a freak

At the disco

...walked right up 2 me

Her grip was strong

when she took me by the hand

your voice is deep I just don't understand

Suzy

I must have made a mistake

No girl I'm straight

She was on the phone again

But it sounds like a man

She was on the phone again

But it sounds like a man

Girl your voice is real sexy

But sounds just like a man 2 me

Girl your voice is real sexy

But sounds just like a man 2 me

Girl your voice is real sexy

But sounds just like a man 2 me

Girl your voice is real sexy

But sounds just like a man 2 me

PRINCE TALKS

BY NEAL KARLEN

A FEW MINUTES LATER, driving toward the First Avenue club, Prince is talking about the fate of the most famous landmark in Minneapolis. "Before Purple Rain," he says, "all the kids who came to First Avenue knew us, and it was just like a big, fun fashion show. The kids would dress for themselves and just try to took really cool. Once you got your thing right, you'd stop looking at someone else. You'd be yourself, and you'd feel comfortable."

Then Hollywood arrived. "When the film first came out," Prince remembers, "a lot of tourists started coming. That was kind of weird, to be in the club and get a lot of 'Oh! There he is!' It felt a little strange. I'd be in there thinking, 'Wow, this sure is different than it used to be.'"

Now, however, the Gray Line Hip Tour swarm has slackened. According to Prince -- who goes there twice a week to dance when he's not working on a big project -- the old First Avenue feeling is coming back. "There was a lot of us hanging around the club in the old days," he says, "and the new army, so to speak, is getting ready to come back to Minneapolis. The Family's already here, Mazarati's back now too, and Sheila E. and her band will be coming soon. The club'll be the same thing that it was."

As we pull up in front of First Avenue, a Saturday-night crowd is milling around outside, combing their hair, smoking cigarettes, holding hands. They stare with more interest than awe as Prince gets out of the car. "You want to go to the [VIP] booth?" asks the bouncer. "Naah," says Prince. "I feel like dancing."

A few feet off the packed dance floor stands the Family, taking a night off from rehearsing. Prince joins the band and laughs, kisses, soul shakes. Prince and three of Family members wade through a floor of Teddy-and-Eleanor-Mondale-brand funkettes and start moving. Many of the kids Prince passes either don't see him or pretend they don't care. Most of the rest turn their heads slightly to see the man go by, then simply continue their own motions.

What about the other bands? Apollonia, Vanity, Mazarati, the Family? What are you trying to express through them?

A lot has to do with them. They come to me with an idea, and I try to bring that forth. I don't give them anything. I don't say, "Okay, you're going to do this, and you're going to do that." I mean, it was Morris' idea to be as sick as he was. That was his personality. We both like Don King and get a lot of stuff off him.

Strawberry Lover is the seventh song on Mazarati's first album Mazarati. The track was written by Brown Mark as Fear The Shadow before Prince re-wrote the lyrics and renamed the song Strawberry Lover. Prince was not involved in the track musically.

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in May 1985 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA, while Prince was working simultaneously in another studio in the building on the Parade album.

“Yee-haw!” Prince exclaimed on the microphone. “Alright you cowboys, put your hands like this.”

Very interesting in that I remember the MTV broadcast of the afterparty like it was yesterday (one HELLUVA performance) but never knew that he did more songs after Mutiny...

yep the premiere was edited. I suprised Sheila E did not perform. Maybe Mazarati should have backed Sheila, I don't know if the crowed knew 100MPH well, but people were dancing. Maybe covered a Prince song. America

I Guess It's All Over is the eighth and final song on Mazarati's first album Mazarati, and, around the time of the album's release, the track was included as the b-side of Player's Ball, the album's first single. The track was written by Brown Mark as We Did Things Our Way before Prince re-wrote the lyrics and renamed the song I Guess It's All Over. It was believed Prince was not involved in the track musically, but in 2017 Aaron Paul "Ace" Keith revealed that he played guitar solo on the song.

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in May 1985 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA, while Prince was working simultaneously in another studio in the building on the Parade album.

LOVE THIS SONG!! it's so sad and yet so hypnotic.

she made it with my friend,he's like my brother thick and thin

I thought our love was kinda strong......but I guess I was wrong

superb slow jam.

Is Suzie Lovelace a Mazarati outtake?

^^^ This is a show I would love 2 hear/C ^^^

Sir Casey Terry vocals are so hard 2 hear the lyrics

Long ago I decided to make my own Mazarati cd, as I couldn't find it. So I made scans of all Mazarati vinyl.

.

The covers, the labels, then I isolated parts and then I created the cd cover and label. I figured this is a good time to show it more widely, it did come out great and most people that pull the cd from the cupboard do not notice it's a homebrew.

.

I figured it be nice to add some of that here:

Aftershow with Mazarati Sheila E & Eddie M
