PrinceVault have removed the page for 9-5 People and added the paragraph below to the Call of The Wild page.

* This song was previously incorrectly thought to be called '''9-5 People''', and from 1988, however it is now verified this is its correct title and no song called '''9-5 People''' seems to exist or have existed.

Curious as to what prompted the verification and who verified it.

Thanks 4 the information. As already said, I thought t that it was an 88' sound. "My vault" has been updated.

And apparently it's from 1985! I always thought it has that 88/89 sound... anyway... Guess it's time to change my princevault name....

I wholeheartedly agree. It sounds like a late-80's track, particularly the drums.

I've been saying this lol. I first realized/noticed because Questlove did a dj set a few years ago and it was labeled as Call of the Wild and not 9-5 people. People told me I was wrong/crazy. The guitar from 85 is a little different than 88. He started using more rack gear later on (87-88) including a chorus effects processor. In 85, it was a little more raw and not as effect driven; if that makes sense.

I wonder who they got their info from. Was it Dhuane or Questlove?

Prince was always ahead of his time, maybe even on his own releases.

Wasn't this already known?
It was already confirmed that 9-5 people wasn;'t the title but that it was called Call of the Wild.

It was certainly debated but never confirmed.

Confirmation is from whomever moderates PrinceVault. Their statement is that there is no such thing as a track called 9-5 People. What we thought was that track is officially (according to them) Call of The Wild.

As Duane Tudhal's next book covers the 1985-1986 sessions I assume will get further details.

OK. When the track leaked someone who I deem trustworthy claimed the track was called Call of the Wild and after that I never heard anyone use the title 9-5 People again.
Can't remember if that was posted publicly or on here tho.

In one of those threads, imprimis says Mia Bocca demo leaked? Is this true I must have missed that, it's one of my all time favs.

i think it was a mix with still primarily jill's vox but prince's were slightly more present. can't remember, but i don't remember it being drastically different.

While I do not doubt your word, the confirmation either way from a reliable source was not known to many of us who tune in here frequently as well as other Prince chat rooms.

I hold PrinceVault in high regard and they only just removed the page for 9-5 People this past week.

I also hold Princevault in high regard but they're notorius for late updates or even neglecting updates.
It could be they had this info for a long while and only just now updated it.

I'd like 4 someone to put together a Parade era playlist and add Call of the Wild.
I'm not going to do one yet. Even though it was a delight to add this one(like Romeoblu) to my Parade folder.

I want to hear it how others fit it

This is definitley top 5 of the unreleased tracks
