Did Prince use a sample on 'love' off 3121?

There's the crackling like he's sampled a vinyl, especially at the beginning.

I know he's used alot of samples before(uncredited); he's not still doing it, is he?

Anyone know?

i think the only times he used uncredited samples is from the time
before you had to give credit.

after 1992, i think he gave credit for samples he used in all cases
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

i guess it's just a sound effect. he uses dozens of those on his tracks
and many of them are featured on more than one of his albums.

the vinyl crackling sound is used by a whole host of artists from britney
and christina to radiohead and bjork. and also by prince, lol.

it just gives the record a bit of a more authentic "old" feel.

As a 47-year-old who has more albums than a garage can hold, I will be happy if I NEVER hear another crackle as long as I live.
