they've been white-washing Prince's career ever since he died (and even before)...its become sickening...but entirely predictable

What's sickening is the fact that there are some who believe that a backing band was greater than the person that people have called a modern day Mozart.

No he wasn't.

He was very very good, for a big part of his carreer

Who says that the Revolution was better than Prince ?

Where is that fact ?

That was one of my favorite moments as well. I'm a sucker for studio chatters. I really hope they are included in "Power Fantastic (Live In Studio Take 1)". At 7:18, I guess it will be the case. If not, I would be really disappointed.

THIS.

I could go a SDE of studio chatter of this quality and intimacy. For me, it is the stand out moment of the podcast. ...I mean, I'm a huge W&L fan, but even they can't claim they scripted this for him.

Oh yeah !

Pleeeeaaase, dear Estate ... More of that please !

That's where we are able to get to know the real magic.

Anyone that is upset about Wendy and Lisa talking about their undeniable part in the DF/transitional era that was a catalyst for the SOTT that came to be - and explicitly featured as "Part 1" of a multi-part series, is missing the point. There is nothing they are doing or saying that is out of line and the people in this thread upset about it are coming across as silly and losing their credibility, to be truthful and blunt [Edited 8/29/20 15:00pm]

Whether you are a musician or not, you don't get to take credit where it wasn't given. Anyone who has worked a day or two understands this. W&L received their credits on SOTT, so should not be whining in interviews.

OMG, get OVER yourself, please!!! Wendy & Lisa WERE/ARE not whining about not getting credits for the songs on SOTT that Prince wrote and recorded on his own. They are simply expressing their sadness and disappointment AT THAT TIME - NOT NOW....regarding the MANY songs they did contribute to which were completely omitted, AND the few songs included in which their parts were stripped or buried in the mix.

Aw... poor babies. Whining like they never worked a day in the industry. Prince paid for every minute that they were playing Patty Cake in his studio. I am not the one on a podcast about a seminal album crying about my employer from 30 years ago not using my obscure piece, or other tinkerings I may have done, which is quite a normal reality for anyone who works. And all of Wendy's contributions to the songs she was on were credited. Also, there is no 'deluxe record' -- this everything but the kitchen sink release from the estate is not Prince's SOTT album.

Wendy Melvoin: Brokenhearted. Because at the very end of it, we looked at the credits and it just said, "Thank you, Wendy and Lisa" at the very — the very last credit on the Sign 'O' the Times record, and meanwhile we had done so much work on that record, as you will attest to the deluxe record. So yeah, it was very painful; very painful. But we understood, you know, we're not — yeah, it hurt like hell but, you know, life goes on.

After reading thru this thread, i realized we've gotta away from the topic at hand. We can't even have an adult discussion about the podcast or even wendy and lisa without attacking each other. it's sad.

the only issue is have is the comments made about SOTT being a revolution album, etc. It is not. that is a fact. The comments Wendy and Brownmark made about that may have been misinterpreted. With clarity, i think they meant the band played on a lot of music that was on compilations, etc leading up to what became the album but the album itself has 2 songs with their input: strange relationship (which has most of their contributions buried in the mix or stripped completely) and beautiful night which we all know is a jam from the parade tour that is boring without the vocals/lyrics and overdubs.

nonetheless, i appreciate the podcast and although i've been critical of wendy and lisa in the past, i'm apprecitative of them as well. they for sure brought different colors to Prince's world. no denying that and they're wonderful musicians in their own right.

Well here’s an articulate idea... why don’t you take you’re vast and superior knowledge of the SOTT album and let the podcast producers, estate reps, and let’s throw in Warner records, let them all know the podcast is misleading, it’s all a misrepresentation!!!

The podcast is entitled Prince: The Story of Sign O' the Times. Just because Wendy played a solo during that time, doesn't mean it represents the story of this album. Why wouldn't there be a discrimination? I know a number of folks who stopped listening at the quarter and halfway mark.

Well clearly her life didn't move on or she wouldn't be saying this 30 years later. She should be bowing down and kissing Prince's ring for the opportunities he gave to her. And when she arrived at another record company to record her own album, it dawned on her that Prince had financial obligations to the label, so could not put out all of her masterpieces -- and it was still Prince's atelier at the end of the day. So these statements are unprofessional. I don't recall Prince being sad, he just asked them to stay through the Parade tour as they had wanted to quit. You act like this is your first day on the forum, this haven of criticism and nitpicking. The contributions on SOTT are clearly outlined on the album. And no, it is not a Revolution album -- said Prince.

Actually they played on the album songs. Sheila played on You Got the Look, and she and Miko played on 'It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night'. Sheila and Prince didn't start playing together in 1987.

I was referring to the SOTT band as a whole unit. Sheila had been contributing on various things in the studio with Prince well before the SOTT record. As far as I know, Miko was not part of any recording sessions until he officially joined the expanded Revolution after The Family ended.

Unless you are Prince. We've got the black and white video of the 1984 rehearsal for the First Ave bday show, snippets of another warehouse rehearsal released with the original NC2U, Nude Tour rehearsals, etc. So, it's very possible that there may be some footage of rehearsals in the 1985-86 period. If so, I hope it ALL comes out.

EXACTLY. Right now on my favorite Prince YT channel there is a 3 hour video of Prince and gang rehearsing for the Nude tour. The quality sucks (hello 1990) but it's great to see the images along with the audio. Same for the 1984 bday show rehearsal. Really love that one!

MoodyBlumes said:

violetcrush said:

And Wendy stated that Prince gave her the BEST musical experience of her lifetime, so.....

Well here is what Susan shared about SOTT:

.

"The drum track on “The Cross” is noticeably out of time, and “Forever in My Life” and “It” were each done pretty quickly. In contrast, songs like “Adore” and “U Got the Look” received an exceptional amount of attention to detail.

“Slow Love,” “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man,” and “Strange Relationship” were older songs that were pulled from the vault and reworked for inclusion. There were some unusual sonic elements, including the distorted vocal on “If I Was Your Girlfriend,” the muffled, lo­fi sound on “The Ballad of Dorothy Parker,” and the out­of­sync backing vocals on “Forever in My Life.” All of these were unintentional “happy accidents.”

.

Some experimentation was deliberate, such as the backwards drums on “Starfish and Coffee.” The basic track for “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night” was recorded in a mobile truck for a live performance in France.

.

....Prince’s work in relation to these artists was like an art house film maker compared to big budget studio films. We worked quickly and valued ideas over execution or art over craft, you might say. Frequently tracks were completed from beginning to end (i.e., final mix) in less than 24 hours, by just the two of us. That is unheard of for chart-topping artists who typically work with a team including producers, engineers, mixers, songwriters, and studio musicians.

.

Because his albums always center around a theme, new songs were written or reworked to build around SOTT’s core songs, which included “Sign o’ the Times,” “Adore,” “If I Was Your Girlfriend,” and “U Got the Look.” “Play in the Sunshine” and “Slow Love” are examples of songs that were included to complete a perfect album sequence.

.

We worked quietly and peacefully, for the most part, on songs like “It,” “Hot Thing,” “Forever in My Life,” and “Starfish and Coffee.” Even though Sunset Sound in Los Angeles was like a second home, the atmosphere in Minnesota had lower pressure. I always felt as though he was most himself in Minnesota, working at home.

.

When I left in 1988 and began working with other artists, I realized that I only knew Prince’s way of working. Because his method was so rare, I had to learn how to make records the industry way. All of Prince’s colleagues or imitators take a risk by observing him for too long. They can start to believe that his genius is not so rare or that it just takes discipline to match his output. The more I worked with others, the more I realized that there is simply no one like Prince aesthetically or entrepreneurially.

.

Musical parts and arrangements came so rapidly to him that it could seem as if he were recording songs from memory. He has a particular genius for melody and rhythm, and he is extraordinarily decisive and focused.

What we label genius or expert typically takes a decade or more to form. Greg Kurstin, for example, recently produced Adele’s latest single “Hello” and a host of other hit songs over the past few years. This comes after working for over two decades as a musician and producer. Prince was doing equivalent work in his first decade with no formal musical training. It would be hard to find his equal in any musical era.

https://classicalbumsunda...interview/

I think it's great that Susan Rogers has a solid memory of those years, and is so eloquent in her discussions of the details. I was listening again to her almost 3 hour long interview on Prince Podcast, and this is also what she stated when asked about the SOTT period and album:

*

At the 1:20:05 mark: "A major part of his (Prince's) life concerned Wendy, Lisa, and Susannah. They were a big part of his personal life, of his musical life. They were huge to him, and of course, Bobby Z., his friend since High School. So, as his landscape is changing beneath him he's changing his mind about what he wants to share. So, Dream Factory, then Crystal Ball, and then into SOTT happened as he was going through some personal and artistic and professional changes."

*

Susan, in several other interviews/discussions since Prince's passing, has given HUGE praise to Wendy, Lisa, and Susannah for their abilities as musicians, writers, and vocalists (Susannah), and how much they influenced and contributed to Prince's music in the 1985-86 period.

Yep, you're right about it being slower. It's going to take a while to get used to after listening to the bootleg so many times

It felt heavier, a little less funky...but I simply cannot wait. This and All My Dreams - I mean, and all the rest too, but to have pristine versions of these two...I'm so happy.
