1) sex in the summer-i don't really hear it, but i've seen that information somewhere, maybe even in the cd jacket, but i'm not around it now, so i can't check

2) to make people wonder why each is 60 minutes long. I think one of mine actually registers as 59.59 minutes long. I think its amazing how he did that, and still kept the songs sounding good without any filler.

Listen closely. You'll hear songs drag on for extra time. Usually Prince doesn't really know how to end songs (he loves keeping the groove going), but there are several tracks that have extra stuff at the end that wasn't necessary except to fill up the disks to 60 minutes.
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

eye have some interview where he talkes about why he actually did that.. its been awhile since eye heard it, but he said something along the lines of he was really interested in Pyramids, and he talked about the angles and sides... and the perfection of a pyramid, and then he went on 2 say something like the 3 cd's are his pryamid.. and they equal 180 Degrees. it was kindof interesting.. eye'll find it and put exactly what he said.. but it was along the lines of that...

Isn't "60 60 60" the number of some beast?
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

60-60-60 are the angles of an equilateral triangle.

The Emancipation booklet states that the track features the ultrasound heartbeat in the description of Sex In the Summer. It is the sample that starts at around 12 seconds into the song. (If you've ever heard an ultrasound hearbeat of an unborn baby, you'd probably recognise it).
ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

How can you not hear the heartbeat? I've always heard it.

666 is the mark of the beast, not 60 60 60. LMAO
