Do you have a copy of this album, Calhoun? cause if you don't I'm willing to make you one. You've been here longer than most, you're obviously a real fan. You NEED that record. I mean this.

Prince's own version of "Desire" is just about the best, but is not on the album,

I really like the extended version of "the Screams Of Passion", though.

St. Paul really annoys me with his Morris Day/Prince imitation, but the music is pretty cool on this album. River Run Dry gets my vote.

I think the best song is "Desire". Between Prince's demo version and the Family's album version, I like theirs because of the removal of the snare drum. The drums on Prince's version make the song 2 poppy and commercial, though his version is still great. The Family's version benefits from the removal of the snare, making it more sensual and it fits the song perfectly. I have a live rehearsal version of this song, and it almost has a reggae feel 2 it. Absolutely marvelous!

Yes.

Prince versions do not count and Peterson cannot get the same effect with the songs like Prince does in the outtakes.

That in mind:

Yes. Followed closely by Susannah's PJs

For me, this is a difficult question. This is honestly one of my favorite albums; I like everything on it -- with the exception of 'Nothing Compares 2 U'.

That said, I would choose 'Yes'. I also love 'Screams Of Passion' -- Clare Fischer's string arrangement adds a lot to that piece.

He had no Choice in the Matter.He had to Follow Prince's Guide Track.all Major Acts that have Proteges or Acts Record there Material are forced into being a Clone to the Outside Eye.but St Paul is a Bad-Ass the Guy has Chops&Can Play but I think along with Margie Cox,Jesse Johnson Association hurt His Career from fully reaching it's full Heights IMHO.
