No, 80:06.
But at the time one disc = one vinyl.

Funny you are all holding on unto Hot Thing! To me it s my least favourite track of the album with Slow Love.

The bridge of Hot Thing is probably the funkiest thing he ever wrote.

You sure on that runtime? Burned SOTT to one CDR back in the day that was 79:something.

.

I'm more interested in reducing 1999 down to one disc, that's at least underplayed vs. SOTT/Emancipation daily reductions.....actually has one-disc 1999 thread ever been done?

That s the official running time on Wikipedia.
But I agree for 1999 on only one disc. I don't think a topic exists.

I'm kinda intrigued, would it have to be broken down to 5 tracks? I feel like the org would have a harder time with that streamlining vs. any other Prince multi-set.

"Hot Thing" has weak lyrics.I think it's just an average song....nothing special boxed

In the same logic of the 1999 one disc release, I've decided a one disc edition of this would actually be best like this:

SOTT (edit)
Play in...
Housequake
Dorothy parker

Starfish..
If I was....
Could never take the place..
The cross

All killer, absolutely no filler. And it starts/ends with the most topical songs to give it a unified beginning and end.

Love you album too !

Listened to it... (haven't got much to do with this lockdown anyways. wink )

only Side 2 is a bit strange with Housequake following after Forever In My Life and then Adore..

Would Prefer to open Side 2 with Housequake, and then the rest OF YOUR ORDER;

Nice game this is. wink

Such a BRILLIANT song !

Ever heard someone SCREAM the first word in that way ?

-

First the hunting drums with those three note distorded pounding synth,

as if it is quickly indicating he need sto fuck NOW.

Not much intro, straight to the point, fast furious funk,

'cause he sees her right there and his breath is cut off as he chokes

and just comes right there in his pants instantly all wet as he is about to scream

without even wanting to scream these dripping words off his mind; ''HOT THANG!"

When you're soooo HOT of someone, you don't need much words to get what you instantly want.

And that's just the first 9 seconds of this hunting song.

that is so funked up in a 4/4 fierce beat, a ride towards that hot seductive barely 21yo that is looking for some fun.

That's how I see it.

LOL, I had to laugh reading that! And I agree Hot Thing is a sexy banger.

I don't mind "Hot Thing", but I think it would have worked better as a B-Side.
