....yea...so i came across the lost skits from the album....you know the opera/story about the princess the prince and seven bad man after the three gold rings....and i was wondering if anybody had the original track order that told the supposed story...i'd imagine the tracks got re-arranged after the skits were removed...shit, maybe the removal of the skits demanded the songs be re-ordered...

anyway, i wanna hear the "opera".. even tho i'm sure it'll still be very cryptic


so... do ya got it? huh? huh?

Weren't the segues removed from the album in order to make room for "Eye Wanna Melt With U"?

I remember it being reported before the album's release that the cassette version would have an extra track ("I wanna melt with u"), that would be missing from the CD.

Yes, Eye Wanna Melt With U was a last minute addition to the album, which
sent the running time over what would fit on CD at the time. The original plan
was to ommit the track from the CD version, but include it on the LP and
cassette versions. In the end Prince decided to drop almost all the segues so
that the song could be included on the CD too. The tracklist I posted was the
final one made before this happened.
