What is up with my Lovesexy CD?

Anyone else have this problem? I can't pick what song I want to listen to,it just goes song by song,it won't let me jump ahead or anything. It's getting on my nerves.

There are some tracked copies outthere. Just have to hunt. Prince thought the message of Lovesexy would be more organic and truthful if listened to as a whole in sequence. Pain in the ass ain't it.

When you want your "Dance On" you want it now.

Although I've never done this myself, it would be pretty easy to cut the tracks up with Audacity, and reburn a CD, or cut them up and convert the files to mp3.

Audacity is a free program, and it's ludicrously easy to use.

I love that it is not tracked. I only ever listen to it completely. I hate just picking tracks to listen to.

Play. Play. Play as it was meant to be played.

People that are not drama queens and uber-fams can do it, easily.

People that like to be able to play Positivity immediately, when the mood is right or that like to ad the song Lovesexy to a certain playlist.

Those people.

Of course I am. My playlists RULE.

But then again, I am uber-fam when it comes to editing albums. I mean, I like Pheromone alot, but please without a small part of the song Poem in front of it. Just like I looooove Damn U without the clapping and Prince's frenzied murmuring and the Gameboyz's weird scanting at the end. You know; the stuff Prince did WRONG.

I wanted to listen to I Wish You Heaven,and I couldn't,I had to wait through 7 other songs. This is why I would like a tracked version. Thanks for the link!

OMG am i the only 1 who bought it on vinyl ?! (4 those of u on valium, they were the black round grooved things that u drop a needle on).

live, the moment on the lovesexy tour when P started the second half of the show coming up thru' the floor, standin centre stage with THAT grin on his face as the strains of lovesexy kick in, well, at that moment u felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, and even an athiest like me was moved by some kinda 'spirituality'.
