OK. That was the best episode so far. It blew last weeks episode out of the water. A fantastic selection of music. I hope they don't skim over the Camille sessions next week. I'd love to hear more from Susan Roger's about the recording of those songs.

Her name is SUSAN ROGERS.

.

How the fuck do you lot fail to properly spell her name?

Pointless & disrespectful!!!! Who do you think you are?

The Revolution certainly gets a lot of attention in these podcasts ...

Actually, the podcasts are about them, and you get the feeling that the Sign O The Times live band was merely a disturbance - an accident that happened to them.

I miss the days when their tendency to self-aggrandaziment was nipped in the bud by the threat of lawsuits ...

His name is Bart. And he is funky.

How hard is it to get that right?

I think that was the point

I think Barf should get banned for that comment btw!

Four episodes in and it is still the same page, different book. Still talking about the Revolution's influence. The podcast should be called "The Breakup and Influnece of the Revolution" because the four episodes have very little to do with the actual album that he made, in part, to distance himself from the band. You guys have fun with the series because most of you apparently love the narrative. Four episodes of whitewashing has lost my interest. Looking forward to hearing the music next week.

These song snips sound INCREDIBLE! 'And That Says What' - WOW!!!

Wendy said something in this episode that I found curious. She'd said it before in an earlier episode and I glossed over it, but she's brought it up twice now.

She'd mentioned Roadhouse Garden as an example of a project they were working on. When she mentioned it before I assumed she was just talking about the song, but she's only ever listened it in the context of album titles. Roadhouse Garden, Dream Factory, Crystal Ball. What does she mean by this?

I know Prince had an album in mind at the end of the 90s, but I assumed this would have just be a compilation of unused Revolution songs. Do you think the Roadhouse Garden album could have been a concept Prince was knocking around back in the mid 80s?

I think the podcasts are moving chronologically through the recording of the album. I expect the Revolution will be less in evidence in the next few as it moves onto him re recording some tracks on his own with no revolution involvement

Hi Amojeru. I'd be interested in hearing more about this. Have you got a link? TIA

I interpreted Eric's comment as "they co-wrote 'In A Large...'". Because it was the same a few years ago with 'Power Fantastic', which was said to be written by Lisa (which then meant, she came up with the basic idea and Prince finished it).

I'm not surprised they at least co-wrote it (one of my all time fave outtakes - so excited for this one!). The outtro on it sounds so similar to their song "Light" from the first W&L album (I segued these two tracks together on a mixtape back in the 80's).

Yes, it does. Good observation.

big fan of rev but these podcasts are a bit redundant and lacking in any real interesting info .. i get that it leads up to sott but a lot of these interviews would work better for the parade box .. honestly the rev sound out of the loop talking about sott .. cuz they were .. at that point prince was not working WITH them but rather maintaining a somewhat professional demeaner until the inevitable end that was already decided .. they should rather answer every question with .. i dont really know cuz we were on our way out at that point .. instead of pretending to be a big part of things when they weren't ... maybe the other 19 podcasts will give some prince songs insight instead of just rev breakup insight

I noticed that and wondered if Roadhouse Garden was actually an album back then. We know P first mentioned it as an album in 98.

A few comments have been questionable. Of course the 'W&L wrote In A Large Room..' quote which we don't know if entirely true.

.

And didn't Brown Mark say he went to Paisley in 86 and was asked to join the NPG. Of course it was a long time ago and these guys may get some things mixed up but they are being passed as facts on these podcasts

Now I'm even more curious about that In a Large Room with No Light Jam from that Broken Faucet thread from years ago. Maybe on that you can here how it evolved or maybe Wendy and Lisa started that jam, curious.

Now I've heard the clip of Eric Leed's saying that one was Wendy and Lisa's I no longer have any doubts. Eric stands to gain nothing by saying W&L wrote it. He's still getting paid for playing on it no matter who's song it is. Also, he said that in 2017, long before SOTT:SD was even a concept.

It's interesting how both 'In A Large Room With No Light' and 'Power Fantastic' were slated for Dream Factory on the June configuration, but were both substituted out by July. Prince seems may have already begun minimising Wend and Lisa's involvement by removing the two songs they would have had writing credits on.

So do you think they wrote the music and lyrics..
