Not too long ago I read something about The Estate letting a Hollywood film director use Let's Go Crazy for his movie. He talked about how they sent it to him in multi-track form, and he spent the night listening to all of it.

Does anybody remember this interview, and who that was? I'm not getting on much back from Google. And it's not listed on IMDB yet... I assume cause the movie is not finished.

It was used in Kingsman:Golden Circle

That's it!

From an interview with Matthew Vaughn

The opening scene uses Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” I can’t remember ever hearing a Prince song in a non-Prince movie before.

Prince is one of my all-time heroes. There’s not a single Prince note – he’s done a lot of notes – and I know them all. I’ve been obsessed with him since I was 12 or 13. And, weirdly, when we put Prince on, I was so desperate to use it and I got told it would never be cleared. Then, sadly, Prince died. And I was speaking to the people at Warner Bros. Records and they’re like, you know what, if we’re going to start licensing his music, what a way to begin. So I feel absolutely honored to be the first person to license a Prince track.

Oh, wow, so you are the first…

Yeah, I’m so honored I was allowed to do it and I hope he is up in his purple throne looking down at least appreciating the use of it. And I was lucky enough that they sent me all the tracks – the multi-tracks of the recording and I spent like five ours listening to everything. And, for me, it was heaven. And hearing Prince talk, “Okay, let’s redo that and turn this up,” it was amazing. I’m a huge Prince fan and I’m very sad that he died, too young. And what was also astonishing was the amount of kids who have seen the film who don’t know Prince and don’t know his music. And I just hope this will continue his legacy.

It looks like the LGC multitrack that got leaked is a little different than the one that Matthew Vaughn received. Has a longer leader or somtheing.

Because they know you'll do it, because you love to be a right fighter. All they gotta do is post "where is..." and here you come.

Try looking where that quote is from. Can you Google?

Of course, but you'll fill in the blanks, which frees up my time. So I guess...thanks?
