I don;t get the post above yours tho.
Did he slightly confirmed something and then left? (for good??)
I guess you have more contact with him than most of us here judging from his posts here fiercely defending you and Kares?

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Appreciate the support! And I also must apologise for the amount of typos/grammaticals in these wee write ups. I'm more of less just battering them out as I listen to the tracks, moving some sentences around then posting - I should do more proofreading. And I wish it was possible to put spaces between the paragraphs on the org - just looks like a tombstone of text. Apologies. Hopefully it whets your appetites for the leak/release. Have enjoyed writing it up.

HEYYYY! WELCOME BACK!!!

Welcome back guys! AOM! (All Orgers Matter) or some such

There are other examples where P was clearly a proud parent. If I Could Get Ur Attention, 101, Manic Monday, Latino Barbie Doll (which mutated into Baby Don’t Care), I’ll Never B Another Fool, Kept Woman etc.

.

Prince didn't write "I’ll Never B Another Fool". It's one of the songs he appropriated from Sandra St. Victor. Also: "The additional music was created around a sample of Michael B. and Sonny T.’s track "Vinyl Blister" (from their sample cd Funky-ass Loops)."

and btw, that little joke about MJ not being interested in Prince's 8 year old child...a little old for MJ...GOLD ...hahah GOLD! It was pretty late when I read it but I laughed out loud...had to read it again just to laugh again..

Oh God. Num23...need you to keep going...want to hear your thoughts on the remaster itself AND the live stuff.

Promise 2 B True. Like I said, there’s better songs, but it’s my favourite. Utterly infectious.

The horns on the chorus of "I Need A Man" are the same he's used for "Controversy" since about 1986, especially on the Hit n' Run Tour during that medley that starts with "Raspberry Beret." (Think Sheridan.)

The Pre-chorus arrangement in general reminds me of something, but I can't think of it.

btw more time passes more the song's review from number23 are longer.

I think the "Strange Relationship (1987 Shep Pettibone Club Mix) [2020 Remaster]" review will rival the James Joyce's Ulisses

Reminds me of Last Heart.

He used the horn part on live versions of Kiss, too (Lovesexy Tour, and SOTT Tour iirc).

Yeah, someone mentioned "Kiss." I'd have to go listen to both to be sure. But "Controversy" is what first came to mind. It's always interesting how he pulls from one song and makes another. Those mid 90s EPS (New Power Generation, Cream, Gett Off) are good examples of extrapolating and exploiting a nuance of one song to make another. It was years before I realized a synth line in "The Max" was actually from "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic." On the 1999 Super Deluxe, there is some of that - X song was eventually revamped into Y song, with Z added.

I’ve noticed that too, it’s not deliberate. Probably the weight of expectation. I might need to drag the Shep remix analysis down from a mountain on stone slabs and start a new religion.

And so commandeth the Lord Prince to his SHEPherd, giveth the glow stick unto my funk. Thou shalt put thine foot on the rock.

I’ll stop now.
