This mix suddenly reminds me of the "Ethereal Mix" of Cream from D&P - makes me wonder if he recorded Cream around this time (late '88).

It is too bad ?rince isn't making songs like that now. Anytime you put a regard for religion...(censoring words for religion beliefs is heresy.) It messes with the artistic integrity of the piece. Is it when you get older you find religion as an excuse for not being able to do things like you did when you were young?
Hmmm?

The fact that he edited his own work because it contained a "curse word," is utterly pathetic and cowardly. What's the point of even releasing it without the first part and then editing what he did release? The latter of course can be answered with the simple reply of "He's a religious nutter now," and I suppose the former question is nullified because if he's so dense as to edit his old work then there's not really a point in releasing it at all, is there?

While the drones continue to buzz over any droppings offered, this practice of editing past work is arresting because it illustrates how uncomfortable Prince is with the only studio work he did that truly mattered and leads one to believe that if he ever does commerically release his past work, it will come with the same obtrusive backmasking blips, rendering the piece as a whole, obsolete and laughable.

Make no mistake, the prime reason Prince hasn't released his WB material is because he doesn't want to re-release what he ignorantly considers offensive material. This was the reason Erotic City wasnt on Ultimate and is the reason that, along with his online video debacles, the dust is beginning to collect on his self-assumed legacy.

I'm unfamiliar with the song in it's original form, but I can tell he edited it. Pretty fucking stupid.....art isn't safe, Prince.

You don't see museum's covering the penis on Michelangelo's David....You don't see them covering breasts on ancient Greek and Roman statues. Why, because art is self-expression, and that's what people felt when they made them. Censorship is shitty, but what's even worse is when artists censor themselves.

luv this funk, and 4got how much how i did

It is on sale--you can find it as a cd single or on 12" vinyl....I'd start with ebay or www.eil.com


EDIT: Those versions, of course, include Part I and have not been edited for language.

Wasn't there a British website that was selling digital downloads of a bunch of Prince 12" releases several months ago?

Yes, because the curse words (which only appear on the 12inch) really make the song. Dude has grown up and has decided he does not want to curse or endorse it. Respect his choice.

YES! Edit it and it's a fraud

Holy shit, there's more crucial things in the world than a missing "fuck". Just listen to the original if it causes you that much turmoil.

Thank you for your response I do appreciate it. I however, wish to purchase it direct from his company. Since I am an artist myself, when people purchase direct from my place.. it is a great feeling knowing that somebody appreciates me on the planet and what I am doing with it to share it...in my case, to charity and to the heart. Thank you tho...

Again, I do appreciate.
Take Care,
QuietSeven

I take it back!! I don't mind! Got no other tributes, Ur's was so fine!

Remix is wack, P's so blind, Larry's got his balls, in a tight bind!

QuietSeven said:

Prince is not selling it himself, and he never did sell it himself. He did however originally get a chunk off of all the 12" and cd singles of the extended version.

have a nice day
