Jelly Jam? Anyone heard of this? It's been awhile since I've listened to For You, but I've not heard of this track. EVER. Is it some Pepe Willie stuff. Help me out.
http://www.vh1.com/news/a...tory.jhtml OK. So it says it shows up as a coda on "For You", but still...  [Edited 3/28/06 16:42pm] | |

Ummmmm, READ the article you linked to:
This jittery and unrelenting instrumental was one of Prince's earliest solo recordings. And we do mean "solo" - he played all the instruments by himself. A slightly toned-down version later appeared as the three-minute coda to "Just As Long As We're Together" off the For You album, which he recorded alone in the studio right before the eyes of Warner Brothers execs, convincing them to sign the then 17-year-old one-man band to a three-album deal.
Jelly Jam is the last 3 or so minutes from Just As Long As We're Together. If you have For You, put it in. . .listen. |

And from the book The Vault:
Jelly Jam: This instrumental track was first recorded at Moonsound in 1976 and then re-recorded at Sound 80 the next year. Prince was clearly fond of the number as he incorporated it as an untitled coda of "Just As Long As We're Together" on For You. [Edited 3/28/06 18:38pm] |

The link didn't make sense to me as it made it sound like there TWO versions of the song. Also, it states these are Prince's "nastiest" songs, yet it's an instrumental. I don't have a copy of For You where I'm at, so I can't listen.  | |
