Please use this thread for the discussion/appreciation of the song "Joy In Repetition." Personally, this is one of my ultimate favorite songs Prince has ever done!!! I'd like to hear feedback from other Orgers on why you like/dislike this song and which version of it is the best (I myself have only heard two versions: the GB version and the live version from the "It Ain't Over" Aftershow CD.) ... the GB version is great, but I prefer the aftershow version both because of it's live energy and because--unlike the GB vesion--it lasts quite a while. Man, say what you will about Larry G. (I'll admit to hatin' on him plenty of times, just like we all have) but he POUNDS the bass like a MASTER on this track!!! And then, of course, there is P's guitar work...friggin' brilliant!!!

Also, for those of you "in the know," (you listening, Boris?) I would like to learn as much as possible about the history of the song (i.e., when was it first written, how many different versions--studio AND live--were recorded in what years, differences betwwen each of the versions, etc.). If you get the time, please see whatever you can find about the song in any one of these books (which I do not have) ...
