In 1995, it was also the day that The Gold Experience was finally set free.

I did not know that, thanks for that. Wonder if that was purely coincidental.

There are only so many days in a year. A few years ago, I did a spreadsheet of Prince's releases in calendar form. There are a lot of things released on the same day in different years. It most likely was a coincidence.

In my mind it was in the summer - the movie, the album, and then the tour in the fall! I love those memories!

Okay, just saw that the OP was talking about the single. Still, a great year. How is it that it's been 32 years since I was in college, LOL?
