Strays Of The World was replaced with the weaker Letitgo.


Oh come on, Strays is sub-par Queen. Letitgo is pretty damn great.


But I love Queen. biggrin

Strays vs Letitgo - I think both are pretty naff, but I'd say Letitgo was a better track IMO (even though I don't like it), Strays is uber-cheesy.

I love strays to death but Letitgo is great to me too. I would have to hear a configuration where this is included to know if it would work. I guess it fits with the "come" theme but still seems ill placed on that album.

WOW thank u 4 this. Makes me want to put my Come cd on. Prince made great music during 93-95 and Come is a great album in my opinion.



I think I'll do that in appreciation since I just scanned an obviously great report. cool

Nice job.

I disagree w/ some of your editorial comments about particular songs, but I love the attention to this album.

Come works for me as a short, dark, funky, odd little under-the-radar kindof album. It's got a certain mood and vibe that I really like. I must be one of the few who is actually glad he removed the guitar tracks and held them over for TGE.

I do like to add Pope and What's My Name to my version, and shorten the title track. But otherwise, I'm happy w/ the version that was released. It's definitely one of my most-played P albums.

Mad props to Scififilmnerd and Co. for this thread. worship

Fascinating insight into the various goings on during this time in Prince's career. The Come album always causes me to give serious thought to his state of mind when he recorded some of these songs. For instance, I can't describe my feelings the first time I heard Solo. So sparse, forlorn and heartbreakingly lovely that it damn near liquified my bone marrow.

Excellent article, thanks a million for posting something of substance in this forum and I'm thrilled that there's more to come.

For me, this time in my life I was a destroyed person. I was in my abusive relationship and that is why Solo struck such a chord with me. I loved everything about this album. The flourish of Come, the freedom of Space, the secret nature of Pheremone, the rabidity of Loose, the heartbreak of Papa, the strength of Race, the longing of Dark, the abyss of Solo, the awakening of Letitgo and the final gett off at the end.

This was such an exciting and frightening time to be a Prince fan. An album announcing the death of your musical hero. Information back in those days needed to be sought out so you really didn't know what was coming next. Prince experienced a rebirth with Gold, and I happened to be experiencing mine at the same time.

I can never get over this period in Princehood. So thrilled I was there as it happened. Thank you scifi for bringing me down memory lane hug mushy Those were some hard HARD times. But to have made it through, makes all the pain worthwhile. This was the soundtrack of the most devastating time of my life. Thank you Prince.



I can only imagine the profound impact those songs must have had during that time of your life.

I wasn't following Prince closely during that time but when I finally got hold of that album it got my wheels spinning, I tell ya.

Great thread. Awesome work by the team. Lovely read. I remember this period well. Kept me alive during my college days and driving in the snow and cold of Cleveland during these years. Just didn't know the extent of this period. I knew, but didn't know, you know?
