the 3rd (and perhaps most important this year) installment of The October Four:



25 years ago today, the prince album was released. come forward, worship and recognize this joint right here. most folks think that dirty mind was p's first instance of his naughtiness, but in all reality this album was the first to show it ("bambi" and "sexy dancer", anyone? )...and if you got a copy of this on vinyl and a turntable to play it on, put it on and bump it today! oh joy!!!!

10+ views and no props...ya'll must be sleepier than i thought

Great Album

where's my present

Spookymuffin said:

umm...this thread is your present.

I've often wondered why the long version of Sexy Dancer wasn't included on the album. It's in my top three of Prince 12 inch versions, and the edit version doesn't do it justice.

Shafty said:

yes! i'm thinkin that the reason why they didn't put the full-length version on the album was because of its length--it woulda taken up a good deal of the first side of the album on vinyl. even then, it wouldnt've hurt for warners to put out the 12" here in the states, as opposed to just the u.k. "sd" has to be one of the most slept-on songs in p's repertoire. nevermind the lyrics (i've always thought that the song's lyrics were pretty dumb, heh), the shit is bumpin.

Shame! The full length SD really showcasing his musical talents, and he was only 21. Gonna have to pop it in the player now when I get home from work.

Shafty said:

i just got done playin it, i've got a copy of the song on cd...i'm gonna put on the vinyl when i get home tonight, too.

Classy!

And I was watching the Lovesexy Live '88 video yesterday, first time in absolutely years and years, and I forgot how much I love the way they do IWBYL on that.

NouveauDance said:

i haven't watched my copy of lovesexy live in a long time, forgot that he did that on there. "iwbyl" is one of my fave cuts on the album...it's like my official happy song. it's one of those songs that you can't help but smile at and sing along with.

It's gonna be lonely is one of my favorite tunes to be 'reflective' to! LOVE Prince.. and that pegasus

"with you" almost made me throw up in my mouth the other night...it's just so, so...sugary. a beautiful song, nonetheless...

This album is just one day older than me.

Just a-creamin'

oh yeaaaaah!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

"I Feel For You" is my happy song. No matter my mood, that song gets my booty bumpin' and my teeth showin'.

FunkMistress said:

that's the jam, too...i sometimes put it on while cleanin my house on sunday.

this is the album that gave me callouses learnin the bass shit on here

great memories of this album... absolutely looooove it

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

"Bambi" really gets me going when I'm mopping the floor...'specially live.

FunkMistress said:

moppin to "bambi"...i'd forget what i was doin and end up just playin the mop like an air geetar.

TheRealFiness said:

hehehe, and i think you were the guy who let me know about the "sd" 12-inch when i first started up here on the org...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

No, see, I go at that dirt like Prince is goin' at them strings...I broke the mop once.

FunkMistress said:

dayum.

Damn, I have this in the car...gotta put it in for a funky birthday to a funky album. Hmmm....got this at home on wax too, so I've got to hear the old feel of the records.

Grammatical edit...

Much props to the Prince LP!

I Wanna Be Your Lover
Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?
Sexy Dancer
With You
Bambi
Still Waiting
It's Gonna Be Lonely

This whole album is classic, but worth it alone for the GUITAR DOMINANCE of Bambi & Why You Wanna...?

GREAT album!

O.k. I admit it!! I did "IWBYL" at karaoke last week!
Yeah, folks were jumpin'....
