The best 3 song arc(consecutive songs) on a prince album?

P has had so many classics and lesser known (to the mainstream)hits attached to those classics that it seems impossible to have just one, but here are several:

Computer Blue-Darling Nikki-When Doves Cry
Alphabet St-Glam Slam-Anna Stesia

What are yours?

I usually link two songs to each other, but this three song arc probably can't be beat:

See, a lot of us first caught these albums on vinyl and cassette, where the side flip occurs between these songs. I can't speak for anyone else, but it would never have occured to me to think of these tracks as '3-song sequences'! cool

Co-sign! Same goes for computer blue-darling nikki-when doves cry. Even though now I listen to everything on cd, I still get that "new chapter idea" with the older albums. nod
