Shockadelica This has to be the best, or at least one of the best of Prince's b-sides. How it didn't make it onto SOTT is a mystery to me.
I can see why Erotic City didn't fit Purple Rain, but Shockadelica could of easily found a home on SOTT.
So glad to have the 12" version as part of the deluxe. | |

Because Camille should have happened . Where would you have placed it on SOTT?

I would love to hear alternate mixes of that one. I even like the take he did of it on the Purple Medley B-Sides mix. Did he ever play it live? I wonder why not, or so little if he did. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

Prince being fully Prince. I LOVE Prince being indulgent and Shockadelica is very that. I can see why it didn't make an album - I think it's not necessarily fitting in the grand vision of what SOTT really was. He covers the same ground in other songs. But it's definitely got it's own vision and I love that he went balls to the walls with it. You can tell he was inspired. | |

Definitely one of my favorite b-side tracks. But I can see why it wasn't on SOTT. It's a really strong song, but it's a bit like trying to find a spot for "Interactive" with "Endorphinmachine" taking up so much aural space. I mean, what would be sacrificed to put it on there? "It?" "Slow Love?" Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

Shockadelica is one of my favorite B-sides as well. I wish it was included in more live setlists...The '87 rehearsal version of the track is excellent though. | |

Only in sampler sets. There's a great rehearsal version on Purple Underground volume 8. He's having a lot of fun with Cat and the band | |

It should have made it into the album, it's a great song, just after IIWYG | |

You know you're a fanatic when you discover you already have something and didn't know it or even unzip it from a while back, because you had already moved on to downloading more and more. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

It should have come right after IIWYG and then Good Love | |

U all need a second opinion. It would have fitted better on TBA instead of when 2 R in love. When 2 r in love...Why is this song is on 3 albums/EP ( including Scandalous Sex Suite) will always be a mistery. This song must be a witch. | |

It deserved to be a single actually | |

Yes it should have been a single, would love to know the story behind Camille the witch | |

I've wondered about W2RIL on TBA too. Retrospectively, it seems awkward because we know it as a Lovesexy track, i.e. in a very different context that gave the song a very different color than on TBA, but I think it wasn't out of place at all on TBA because: . 1/ TBA was meant to be a black music record, making a point of the fact that P was still primarily an R&B artist. Ballads, and sensual ballads even more, are a traditional staple of R&B records, so it made sense to include at least one to be in tune with the overall statement. . 2/The lyrics are rather suggestive and certainly among P's most explicit material. The track was definitely of a nature to infuriate Tipper Gore, and as such remains in tune with the overall subversive/provocative tone of the album. . However, I agree that Sockadelica would have belonged on TBA way more than on SOTT. Feel U Up could also have been a rather decent candidate for TBA.

So what’s Camille’s story? | |

Always believed Shockadelica would have fit nicely after Starfish & Coffee in place of Slow Love. (However, the new remaster has done its work on Slow Love! I have a new found appreciation of it.) Hundalasiliah! | |

It should have been placed right after IIWYG in this order: Strange Relationship If I Was Your Girlfriend Shockadelica Good Love Cosmic Day | |

I dare to go as far as to say this is one of his best songs in his career. | |
