Violet the Organ Grinder - Which album is that on?

I hear the video for Prince's "Violet the Organ Grinder" is red hot sexy, but which album is that from? Anybody know where to find the video?

The video is on the "Gett Off" video single along with the video for "Gangsta Glam".

And my favorite...The Gett Off House Mix. Prince looked mighty appetizing in that one.

like a puppy, I licked your devotion
from your neck
from your eyes
from your ear
and when you cried
I became your emotion
and if you ever cry like that again
I will be near


music
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

"Come hither, my sweet, lend me your attention,
Come hither, lend me your ear ..."

"Violet The Organ Grinder” was released on August 12, 1991 ... almost 14 years ago... WOW!! eek


I've seen the Gett Off vid on Ebay a few times.
Set up a reminder at ebay, so u can have notice of the auction. yes

YOu know, there is a really, really, really, really nasty remix of Violet (I know it exists because I have it.) It's really wicked blend of deep house and goth/industrial. Now, I don't know if this a part of the whole remix project Prince was doing for a while before he abandonded it...(I want that collection, damn it...it was around with mixes of Peach, Mad Sex, When Doves Cry, Lovesign, and Thunder.

Now that sounds interesting... Where did you get it from? I'd dig some deep house remixes of some of P's stuff....

Was this a remix of Get Off, or did Get Off come out of this track.

Either way, I much prefer Get Off. Much simpler and nastier sounding.

But I can't deal with insincere..."

DAYUM! eek
That MOFO said something there!
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I got it from one of the p2p sites before the music industry went sue happy and forced the site to carry tunes by crappy tunes from artists nobody was buying anyway. It wasn't the cool Napster. I don't know if trhe site still exists because it has been years since I went there.

Emale me here...shhh
