Just heard one of you guys talking about Sheree's version of Ronnie talk to Russia - and I just found it on Youtube - and it is a different song altogether, not even close: http://www.youtube.com/wa...etlhpYb2cQ

I was a little disappointed though - a cover of that song!

Yes. As kindling for the fireplace.

Seeing how conservative and harmless Prince has become I find it amusing that he was once considered "dangerous."

I miss that Prince.

Thanks for the link ! and yeah strange it is a totally different song with the same uncommon title !

The stupid thing by the time this was released in 1988, Ronnie had already been talking to Russia for a few years and deals had already been made so it doesn't really make any sense in 1988..

But Anna Fantastic huh... strange but true

It was 30 years ago today that Controversy came out, bringing funk and new wave together! So take a shower, put on some eye-liner and listen to the Peach & Black crew get deep into this release, download or stream and enjoy this private joy!

Yeah, well maybe she is singing about a different Ronnie

Well, it totally puts into perspective, anyway, how strange but true the Prince song is.

By the way, that song at the end - just fantastic, I had forgotten how great.

But I guess you are not worreid about the Prince police anymore?

Annie Christian wanted to be number 1
but her kingdom never comes, thy will be done
She couldn't stand the glory, she would be 2nd to none
the way Annie tells the story, she's his only son
Annie Christian wanted to be a big star
so she moved to Atlanta and she bought a blue car
she killed black children, and what's fair is fair
if u try and say u're crazy, everybody say electric chair
electric chair

Annie Christian, Annie Christ
until u're crucified, I'll live my life in taxicabs
Annie Christian, Annie Christ
until u're crucified, I'll live my life in taxicabs

Annie Christian was a whore always looking for some fun
being good was such a bore, so she bought a gun
she killed John Lennon, shot him down cold
she tried to kill Reagan, everybody say gun control!
gun control!

Annie Christian, Annie Christ
until u're crucified I'll live my life in taxicabs
Annie Christian, Annie Christ
until u're crucified I'll live my life in taxicabs

Liar Liar Liar! got ya in a jam
put your head on the block, somebody say ABSCAM
ABSCAM

Annie Christian, Annie Christ
until u're crucified I'll live my life in taxicabs
Annie Christian, Annie Christ
until u're crucified I'll live my life in taxicabs

Great show, as usual, guys, but...c'mon! Your first show since the Montreux DVDs surfaced and you don't even mention it, esp. after Captain had been blowin' his wad about these shows needing to come out for shows on end--and not even an honorable mention?

Otherwise, nice job. I have a hard time understanding how someone couldn't like "Do Me Baby"--that was slow jam that became the model for all others--but, hey, to each his own.

I make the same point above. Except it is MC who jets around the world watching Prince concerts and coming back with tales of Montreux, not Captain.

Thanks Toejam for the shout out! It made my day! Fantastic review!

Romeoblu said:

Great show again. I hope you guys do a Condensate podcast.

I second that hope.

Glad Sexuality got some love. That's one of my all time favorites. I never got that the flowers on the back being about a Hawaiian shirt. Thank you! That said, it's funny how I never thought the tourists section didn't make much sense, but you do have a certain point ... with which I disagree.

Now I can't blame a guy for loving Ronnie Talk to Russia, but personally, it's one of Prince's worst songs. Music & lyrics are both too cheesy! It comes very close to ruining Prince's, dare I say it, second best album--no wait, he did release 1999, PR, SOTS, TGE, etc. Hmm. Ok, I'll put Controversy as third best.

They don't talk about unofficial releases - should Montreux ever come out as an official release, I've no doubt they'll be all over it.

Same here! One of your best podcasts yet!

hey yeah thank you for mine too! A huge Prince fan old friend of mine

in Minneapolis called me up and was all "I was listening to the Peach & Black

and all of a sudden they're were talkin about you!" Awesome!

Yeah, the shout-out to me was appreciated as well. Loved the show, as always.

so keep it coming

Hmm, I'll play along.

Captain, not only are you wise but you have been blessed with great humour too. Surely the Gods were smiling upon you on the day that you were born.

Also, I believe you were the only one that stuck up for Dirty Mind and claimed that it and Controversy were just about equal in terms of quality. When you guys do your review of Dirty Mind and the other three realise how silly they were to dismiss it as inferior to Controversy be sure to have an excerpt of this episode ready to play to prove your superior instincts to them.

Thanks for the shout out I think it's a testament to how great your review was that my appreciation of this album increased a lot. But since this review I've been addicted to Jack U Off

I find that you really new to share the experience of "Jack U Off" with a "friend" to fully appreciate the greatness of it.

Haha It's strange because when I listen to Jack U Off I'm in a happy mood, but whenever Delirious comes on I get bored pretty fast. And the two songs are pretty similar. Forget Let's Go Crazy/Delirious, he should play Let's Go Crazy/Jack U Off (Instrumental).

Hey, Peach & Black--would love to hear you do a review on the new Original 7 album and the documentary. Could that be a possibility? I would love to hear your take on it. So far, I'm really enjoying this CD.

Thanks everyone

We haven't reviewed any associated artists yet (for no particular reason)

but with both the fDeluxe and 7ven albums out this year

we are seriously considering it

Chaps, another excellent podcast - one of your best certainly. Love your critiques and pointing out those little Princely musical noodlings which Prince started to express with this album. Also appreciate the love for "Sexuality" - top, top song - and Players' somewhat blushed appreciation of its' sexiness - very funny. Your podcasts, for me, are definitely the most anticipated - keep up the good work.

And MC, those Montreux shows....wow...

FunkyStrange said:

Finally listened to this. Loved how much praise RT2R got, someone has great taste!

BTW, the Sheree track is a different track altogether: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Sheree

Produced by one of the dudes from Modern Talking/Blue System.

Edit: oopsie, see it's already been discussed

Oh, I just got to the end of the podcast - thanks for the shoutout!! So cool!

Another great podcast! But next time, could you guys shout me out too? I've heard almost every episode.

With a name like "Tittypants" surely you are deserving of a shout out. In fact I would like to dedicate this post to a very funky fellow, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for...Tittypants!
