Can anyone elaborate on Sheila E.'s involvement in this track? She gets songwriting credit in the liner notes of the Apollonia 6 album, and the MP3 on the Revelations 2.1 disc is tagged with Sheila as the artist.

thats what I'm talking about; urgent, insistent, proud; always preferred the extended jams; undeniable

I've never heard this song before except for that excerpt this past week.

How ironic, I was listening to the Apollonia 6 album as it was about to fade into "Blue Limousine" from "Sex Shooter" upon seeing this thread

Funny, earlier today, I was watching that one Mr. Christian video that includes BL. When Brenda sings this song, she looks so deliciously slutty.

he used to put out stuff like this like weekly; we had a band called blue limousine after this cut

Like the song..When I first heard the clip last week, I was hoping that the full version would be posted. I for one like he edited some of the lyrics out, I do do not care to hear things like that.

Very nice, I like it ALOT.
I don't mind the edits as long as I can still get the original*. And I can still hear "big titties" its very, very distorted.


*If he pulled all the old records some how and replaced them w/ edited versions, I'd go nuts. But...thats...im...possible...right?

I want unreleased Prince songs, not Prince side project songs!!!

"big titties" is scrambled

I tried playing it from AOL's wack browser and had the same problem, but when I switched to Internet Explorer it played o.k.

I always liked this song, I would've loved it if it was recorded by Sheena Easton.

Yay! I've been listening to this on youtube.

Maybe he'll re-release it sometime on 3121?

Brings back such memories...good times a' rollin!

I might be wrong, but wasn't this song available as well in the Reflection Room of the old npgmusicclub website for some time?
If so, then it's obvious a song which he (or his staff) enjoy very much.
(Alternatively, it might be one which they happen to have on their server ...)

never really thought appolonia 6's music would b any good..... but its great gonna download the album!!!!

how du spell appolonia??? like that or like apollonia, whos better vanity 6 or apollonia 6????

Ha! You're right! It was on the NPGMC and if I remember correctly they didn't annoyingly "scr...scr...scratch" out the "big titties", which means I do have it unaltered somewhere in my stash! Woohoo!

There MUST b a message(can't see that otherwise,that's not that good really)

I love Brenda & this song - just brilliantly trashy eighties fun.

This shit should have been on a midprice Us/European cd release 20 years ago. Along with that Mazarati cd. Damn, the only two P-related cd's I don't have in my vault....

jazzz

But it's too easy to forget that it's a story and a jam, regardless of any 'mind-blowing' factor. Saying it's "not that good" is a moot point, really.

Is it the album version exactly (apart from the censored part) or a longer or alternate version ? (i can't listen 2 it i'm in cyber cafes in India lol)

sounds pretty much like "toy box" from sheila. but he always loved to steal from himself!

Volitan said:

even tho i love this song i'm in a agreement that new or unreleased tracks is the way the jam of the week should b. utilize that website more properly by offering old material 4 sale so those that don't have certain albums/mixes can purchase them ...

but then again this would make 2 much sense 4 him now wouldn't it?

Wasn't impressed at first but decided I'll give it a go

Me too, some years ago, I would have said that it sounds dated now I think it's just great, like a Sugarwalls twin sister.

Is there anyone else that thinks this song could've made a nice debut in the Purple Rain movie?

Based on the story it's telling,...I think it fits perfectly.

Jamie Starr is more hard-edged R&B funk with Morris playing the drums as certain points.

This is Revolution/Pop stuff..

It could've easily had been Sheila and W & L singing this...

The sound is coming back..unfortunately... Today's producers want to jump to the past, so the last two decades sound like a homage to 80s, and 70's..

Still, Prince is the only one who can pull of this "atmosphere". He probably threw away those synths though..

He was less of a "master of music" then, So, the simple things sold more to simple people. He rode a chord and simple lyrics out the box. Now, he is a master of music. So, most of it goes over the heads of most who want a steady-beat and a sing-song-y lyrics. He is less of producer and more of an eclectic artist now.

Minneapolis Urban New Wave to the max..

The guitar is just rich...

Hey Orgers there are still Appolonia 6 stuffs on YouTube!
