can you imagine if prince had kept this for himself instead

of giving it to mavis staples?

coupled with electric chair, and "time waits for no one" in

there somewhere.

Was this one of the songs intened for the second album by The Family? I seem to recall Susannah making a vague reference to a track that sounded like it might be this one.

it was written for sheena easton iirc, but then given to mavis instead a bit later.

I was told that Sheena Easton recorded this track in the fall of 1988 with Prince at Paisley Park Studios for her The Lover In Me album. MCA Records ultimately rejected the track for the finished project which came out in November.

After checking some online sources, it appears that if Sheena Easton was indeed involved with laying down vocals for this track, it would have been in the early months of 1987. Thus the track would have been intended for her NO SOUND BUT A HEART album for EMI Records (along with Eternity) OR for an abondonded Prince-produced album project.

Prince predicted the future, but using the wrong cat name. Should've been titled "Cougar".

haven't heard the full Mavis version, but the DJ Foefur mix I have that includes it in there makes it sound QUITE lovely indeeed. Because of that snippet my curiousity has always been piqued about that album and if the rest was of the same quality of the delicious few seconds of Jaguar.

Have the 7:10 remix / extended version... I like it

me too, it's cool. but not the greatest Mavis version.
would love to hear it IF Prince recorded it with his own vocals though. yeah who wouldn't

I always like 'Come Home'.
What a little lovely tune that is.

So Prince, so late eighties, so nice.

Prince wrote the song "Jaguar" for Sheena Easton. A 'Jag' was Sheena's first car!!!

I think the Family song making reference to cats was probably "Feline," a rehearsal of which is available, but I don't think a studio version is circulating--or is it?

Sounds like a Mazarati outtake to me.

I always really liked this song. This album was decent, however I was never a fan of Jaguar.

I love that electronic percussion sound he was experimenting with during this era. I think he also used it on The Future, and maybe even Rave. Any producer types know what that was?
