Funny thing about the "Hot Thing" edit

So I've been doing a little .wav editing on my own to re-create some 7" edits that have never been available on CD. Most of them really aren't that difficult at all. On of them is "Hot Thing" since the version that I downloaded that someone ripped from vinyl and cleaned up, while nice, is not pristine.

Anyone notice there's an extra scream thrown in at around 2:50 to cover the edit from the vocal into the second horn passage? I had never heard that before, until I went hunting for the pieces to connect to recreate the edit from the album version and realized it's nowhere to be found in that section (though it may be a repated scream from earlier in the song).

Not that interesting, I know, but I thought I'd share it for the more anal retentive among you that must document these things in case you hadn't noticed it, or heard that version.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

yup wink just figured I'd try to do some of them from digital since the cuts, when there even are any, are so simple.

These are all commercially released edits and not promos. I don't believe there were any commercial mono edits - correct me if I'm wrong about that.

I think one of the Fun With Vinyl releases contained both the stereo and mono edits of Let's Pretend We're Married? or maybe it was 7" In The Computer.

Great release^^^ It's the only Mono mix I have, been desperately searching for the others - Still Waiting, Just As Long As We're Together, 1999, and Delirious (I think that's all of them?) And you're right squirrelgrease, they are all found on their respective promos - just wasn't quite sure what this Virtual Singles Box was covering. Thanks for the help guys.
