Why haven't I heard this gem before? Or realized its genius? Does anyone know anything about this track? Unreleased??? WHY?!! To me it sounds very Parade-esque with Wendy on backgrounds... but I have no idea. Please. I said pleassssse word me up

Wrong forum.

It was recorded in 1985 (you have dated it and attributed it to Prince and the Revolution correctly) and released as a download in 2001 through the NPG Music Club:

Just listened to this one the other day.

Another reminder of 1984-1986 being a colorful explosion of music

This song and some other I could easily see as an album:Adonis & Bathsheba, Cosmic Day, Go etc

Great song!

If you saw this thread in the Concerts thingie you would write what I wrote.

But you didn't.

Context is everything and you lack context.

That does not excuse your choice of words.

Splash is an "ok" outtake.

Nothing more nothing less.

You might be living in a parallel universe since a short while and/or lacking context.

Then I apologise wholeheartedly. I think i was in a bad mood at the time.

LOVE this song. SO cool and original.

Not if you actually read what I wrote.

I even tried to be kind.

Initial tracking took place on 1 August, 1985 at the Washington Avenue Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA (the day after the release of the Pop Life single, three days before recording Empty Room). The track was sent to Clare Fischer for string recording in July, 1986, but the song was not included on any known configurations of any album. It is likely that further work was done on the track prior to its eventual release, but recording dates are not known. This final version was planned for inclusion on the Prince and the Revolution album Roadhouse Garden album worked on in 1998-9, but the album remains unreleased.
