what's the first 3 minutes of Copenhagen like?

i've heard the release of Copenhagen from C-note was released twice on the NPG. the orignal had a three minute opening. was it his GEETAR? what's it like. is it the same quality?

It starts solidly (i.e. not fading in) and builds up the track well for the remainder of the song. Sadly, since the horns play a part of Jean-Pierre by future Hall Of Famer Miles Davis, Prince removed this part and faded in the rest of the track upon its C-Note re-release. Too bad.

thanks booyah. i'd love to hear it. nevertheless, the fade in does sound professional to me.

So that's why ! I always thought it was stupid 2 edit the song that way, the 1st version is way better with that strong start ! I don't c the point anyway : Prince COULD afford 2 pay royalties the owners of Miles'rights...
