In 1998, Prince announced a comeback album of Prince & The Revolution that consisted of unreleased songs. It was most likely never released because of a dispute with the original Revolution members. One of the mentioned songs, "Splash" was released on Prince's Web site.." I don't remember noticing the 1998 era sound effects at the end before. Is this version slightly longer than the previous one ? I'll check myself when I dig out the original !! | |

It would be the greatest releases in history.
Yeah, nice idea. It's always amazed me that he hasn't put out more live stuff. The odd aftershow maybe. I guess he just believes that aftershow's are a special treat for the fans. I would love to see a quality Diamonds & Pearls concert. | |

I like it. I was wondering the same thing about the movie. If it was written with the intention of being for the movie, "Splash" "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

Parade is my favorite Prince album, and I think that "Splash" is perfect added on as the last track of that CD... That's how I play it anyway.  | |

From dtt-lyrics
Splash "A sample of "Splash" was posted on www.npgonlineltd.com's "The Vault" page in May 2000. The full version was made available as a MP3 download on Mar. 22, 2001 on NPGMC. The song was recorded in August 1985, when Prince also taped songs like "Empty Room", "Sexual Suicide", and "Go". At the time, Parade was essentially completed although Prince added "Mountains" and "Anotherloverholenyohead," recorded in November and December 1985. "Splash" was sent to Clare Fischer for his input in July 1986, but it was never placed on any configurations of Prince's 1986 projects: Dream Factory, Crystal Ball, and Camille. The song is a reasonably strong pop/rock number sung in a falsetto vocal by Prince. The verses have an unusual, reggae-ish rhythm. The chorus is very effective and lifts the song considerably. Fischer's strings are very evident throughout. The track appears to be a live recording with parts of The Revolution, including Wendy and Lisa. The lyrics have Prince singing the praises of his lover, who fulfills his every fantasy. "Splash" was mentioned as a possible track for the aborted Roadhouse Garden album in 1999." Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

Great to finally get a good quality mastered version of this. This was a stellar period ('82-'87) for P and the girls. I'd love to finally get a released Roadhouse Garden album, but that's probably a pipe dream.
On a side note... considering how these songs on 3121 are being posted for downloading, can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get the acoustic version of Love? I was not able to download that one when available. | |

I actually hadn't heard this one before, so it was a nice surprise this morning. Love the lushness of the arrangement...and anything with Clare Fischer involved makes me  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
