According to The Vault, prince began working on Glam Slam Ulysses, updating existing tracks etc. this was reported to have been completed by late May 1993.

My theory has always been that Mayte's fax refers to Glam Slam Ulysses and not Come, and this adds fuel to my fire!! Surely prince would want to proudly boast of a project he recently completed??? Mayte's fax states the 'sequence' was completed two days before.

The word one titles don't quite match, but as I've stated previously Strays of the World could have been called just Strays etc. and /or these tracks weren't included in the sequence??


And What's My Name would have been called What...? lol





Those tracks were included in the Glam Slam Ulysses sequence, so obviously "Mayte" wasn't talking about that one when (s)he said "all one-word titles." shake


nah, you don't really believe that do you? lol

Why does What's My Name have to be included in the early sequences???

Your research tells you that around this time album sequences changed many times.

This would make 11 March 1994 the first known Come configuration.

I agree the former.

By your narrative that cassette had no title - so just a collection of songs of the time IMO.

Besides Glam Slam evolved into Come IMO, much like Dream Factory in2 SOTT, via CB.

'Come' was also going to be the original B-Side to the 'Letitgo' single.
This was changed to 'Solo' prior to release as WB considered 'Come' a strong
contender for single and was planned as being released with 'Dark'
as the B-Side (though I don't know if this was due to follow 'Space', or
whether 'Space' actually replaced it).


The information and corrections have now been added to the article and the appendix list of unreleased configurations. biggrin

BorisFishpaw said:

The version of 'So Dark' that appeared on Crystal Ball is actually an edit
too. The full length version is a good 2 or 3 minutes longer and includes a
breakdown section, false end and extended instrumental end section.


The information has now been added to the list of chronological Come recordings. biggrin

Thank you. kiss2

I wonder why the remix has about the same running time as the album version. Maybe they're one and the same with the album version starting out as a remix? biggrin

On reflection, though... If Come ended with Poem, then it could have continued into What's My Name as a hidden track, as the two tracks are segued. biggrin

Just re-read Uptown#16 which has a photo of an insert for a Come CD-R, containing the 11 March 1994 config, but dated 25 March 1994. It states this is what Prince submitted to WB, I guess on the 25 March 1994.

If Letitgo was recorded on 16 March 1994 then it wasn't included on the Come album at that point.

No, it was actually a remix of the album version featuring the same beat as 18 & Over.
