Prince single!?!?

Where was it?
I never saw SST in the stores, and they were never selling it, and are not expecting it :S

I thought it was being released?

I wouldn't be so sure - I've seen it in a few stores in Cambridge, MA. I don't know how far-flung Newbury Comics gets, but they stock it.

despite the fact that i was only using sam goody's as a generic example, regrettably i didn't research the availability of record store chains in andykeen's area before posting my response. please accept my apologies for such a heinous oversight. i hope it didn't throw your day off too much.

i've had a look around here in The Netherlands but most
recordstores over here already carry very few singles,
if any at all.

so if they only carry a small amount of chart singles,
they're highly unlikely to stock up on an obscure maxi
by Prince i guess.

shame though, i wouldn't mind a hard copy of it.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

There's no plans to release it outside the US, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

So how is SST? Any good? How would you rate it compared to other Prince ballads? Beautiful Ones? Do Me Baby? International Lover? Adore? BTW, Adore is a grossly under-rated song! That song should've ruled the charts back in the day....but I digress.

Um, I saw it at Walmart this weekend. No lie. My mom showed it to me and was like, "What is this?" It took me a minute to figure it out because I thought it was a hoax...

How much was S.S.T. on this site?
I swore it said $11.76.


Never mind - it is $2.01 not $11.76.
eyes are the first thing to go.

Virgin here in NYC has what seems like a million copies of the SST single. I went to Tower on W 4th street and there were a few there too. This was the day of release.

The music on SST is great. The lyrics are crap. The "B-Side Brand New Orleans" is a wonderful extended one-man-band jam.

Get the silver disc. It's cheap and will most likely go out of print very shortly.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

That's true, but it's a benefit single, right? Wouldn't you want your money for the CD to go toward its intended recipients?
