Billy's Sunglasses, Tricky and Mr. Feelgood?

Just heard the song "Tricky". Is that Prince or Morris on vocals. Hard to tell when the self distorted (funky) voice starts. The same voice as on "Cloreen Bacon Skin". The spoken start sounds like Morris but can't tell after that.

Came across Mr. Feelgood (the band the songs were attributed to). The place I downloaded it from attributed the songs to NPGMC. The music sounds like (simplified) Prince music. Still quite funky tunes. Is this rleated to P at all?
Some of the Songs:

"69 Positions"
"R U Horny"
"Feelin' Kinda Freaky"
"Some Of Me"
"Out of My Mind"
"Sex in My Bones" -- isn't this the Fonky Baldheads (Kirk J, et. al)


Billy's Sunglasses - Found two versions 10:41 seconds, the other is 51:08.
The second is so long I have a feeling that someone just edited the song over and over into one looong version. Am I right or is this really a 5o minute jam?

If anyone can help, Thanks. I checked FAQ org page and did not find anything.

all but "sex in my bones" are fakes..."simb" was done by the fonky baldheads, the others were done by some cat called seymour funk.

You know, this is exactly why THIS site is the funkiest, most bad ass site on the internet for all things P related. It's a living, breathing P encyclopedia.

Thank You so much HANDS!! I still like "69 Positions".

The 51 minute version of BSglasses is way too long. I am saying this from a selfish, P music lover stand point. Do you realize how many new songs P could have written, arranged, produced and recorded in those 51 minutes?

Hell, there coulda been a whole new album. Maybe that's exactly how long it took to make "New Power Soul". biggrin

What's that noise, oh just the NPS album lovers typing away.

Who, by the way, dressed up on his promo shoots for his mp3.com page a lot like Prince did on the Interactive -video (the same hat). He had a similar goatee and all, you just couldn't ever see his eyes. Really he just wanted to look exactly like Prince in his photos, it was very easy to tell that,

I once e-mailed the guy if he is at all aware of the fact that his songs are circulating as "Prince outtakes" and he gave me a very defensive response out of the blue that was something in the lines of defending his originality as an artist and not having any idea that his music might resemble Prince's (!). Well, that wasn't even what I had asked him about, but whatever. lol

Is there a CD or a website where I can buy the song Tricky? I am always telling my girlfriend about it "Toss salad hairdo havin' long tall snaggly gold tooth" cracks me up everytime! I only have it on a vinyl B-side and I don't have a wrecka playa no more.

Thanks!
