Hello. When I listen to the song "Le Grind" (Black Album), I hear this mysterious voice in the background speaking things before the first verse starts. I cannot understand what these things are.

Does anybody know what this mysterious voice is saying?

So you found me

Good, I'm glad

This is Prince, the cool of cools

Some of you may not know this,

But some of you may know

Some of you may not want to know

We are here to do service

For we come regardless

For we are strong as we are intelligent

So come vibe with us,

Welcome to the Funk Bible

Ironically one of the 8 known sealed original copies of the Black Album is now for sale at $38K .... approx $4K less than the last one to sell.

Black Album was not going to have Prince's name on it. So you were supposed to buy it not knowing for sure if it was Prince (same with Camille album), and this would be one way of figuring it out.

He seemed to be fascinated with releasing a "secret album" at the time.

all the girls all the boys ..and all u others??? who r the others???

.

Or aother way to figure it out would be to start playing it and recogizing Prince's voice.

It just wouldn't be a Prince album if it didn't have an androgynous feel to it.

draggers??

Weren’t there boxes of legit Black albums that avoided destruction and hit the underground market?

There were only 8 sealed original US pressing copies.


One sold in 2015 by music memorabilia dealer Record Mecca in California

In 2016 a former Warner Brothers employee discovered a box that contained an additional five copies that were sent to him as sample records, bringing the total known to eight.

Four of those copies were sold shortly thereafter with the 5th copy selling at a Prince memorabilia auction in 2018 for $42,298.
