"Greatest Romance" promo description

Here's a description of the TGRES single promo:



It's a cardbord/plastic expensive-ish digipak.


Front: A rather horrible picture of P, waist and upwards, arms spread as if he's being crucified, head looking to the right/up corner. His hair is straight and to the back, he wears his new beard, but he looks quite goofy. He's wearing a black arab-style robe, with golden whatchamacall'ems. The robe is half open only to reveal his hairy chest
(Now you KNOW it's a comeback!!). In the background, piles of golden, and there's lots of arab-style scriptures all over the place. It also says, naturally, 0(+> and TGRES.



Back: an even more shocking picture, he's wearing yet another robe and has the hood over the top of his head in a very ridicilous fashion. He looks as if he's stepping out of a car. However, The real candy here is he actually
pushes a copy of RAVE (Yes, IT IS the white cover we all feared) so it covers half his face and his upper body. The whole thing looks BAD.



On the other hand, NOW the album cover starts to look somewhat better...in comparison!! (design by PARKE).



Yes, PRINCE is listed as producer. NPG and Arista are both there and the publisher is "Emancipated Music" (ASCAP).



The CD itself is Golden/Brown-ish with a full size Symbol on it.

The tracklist is :

1. (radio edit) - 4:26

2. call-out research hook :10



meaning, no club remix on this promo.



I still like the song though. It's only fair to say ppl in Arista, Israel (who gave me this copy) didn't like the song and looked as if they're not going to even try to promote it.
