Hmmmmm. GN. GN. GN. That's a head scratcher. Don't say it! I wanna guess. Hmmmmm.

I had no idea what GN was either.

Black MF In The House is funktastic.... That said, unless you are a completist, the current going rates for the CD is not justified.

Gold Nigga? Its a cd for crying out loud,we can say the name,unlike The Symbol Album

What you know about that young un?

First off, yes I have the first edition of the CD which came out in late summer / early fall 1993. Purchased it through the defunct 1-800-NEW-FUNK phone line.

This topic has been rehashed before. Check it out --

The reason why the first edition is so special in Prince collectors is that, one, this was the first non-Prince-named CD, it was distributed directly from the defunct 1-800-New-Funk, and that the first edition of the CD has a song on it that has been removed from all other versions.

The song removed is "Guess Who's Knockin'," in which is lifted from Paul McCartney and Wings' 1976 classic "Let Em In."

The song was removed due to copyright infringement and that it did not give sample credit.


Let 'Em In
Paul McCartney and Wings 1976

Someone's Knockin' At The Door.
Somebody's Ringin' The Bell.
Someone's Knockin' At The Door.
Somebody's Ririgin' The Bell.
Do Me A Favor,
Open The Door And Let 'Em In.

Sister Suzie, Brother John,
Martin Luther, Phil And Don,
Brother Michael, Auntie Gin,
Open The Door And Let 'Em In.

Someone's Knockin' At The Door.
Somebody's Ringin' The Bell.
Someone's Knockin' At The Door.
Somebody's Ringin' The Bell.

Do Me A Favor,
Open The Door And Let 'Em In.



Guess Who's Knockin'
The NPG 1993


(refrain)

Who's that knockin' at the door
Who's that ringin' the bell
Who's that knockin' at the door
Who's that ringin' the bell

^ To clarify, no sample of McCartney's song was used, but the re-sung lyrics would have meant Prince would owe royalties from each CD sold. So it was deleted.

^^^ Yes, and it is out of print.
