It's a typhani drum. I heard it on about the second listen. (First time was in a noisy car.)

True.

It also took me decades to discover this.

I heard it the first time I listened to the album in '85.

If you heard it, why would it need remastering? As opposed to a new subwoofer

I also heard it the day I bought the cassette back in 85. Cool...but old news.

It's the tymphani patch from the Yamaha DX7.

There ya go. #NotAHeartBeat

I never took to be mimicing a heartbeat. It's a very theatrical song, with the extended intro, the swelling arrangements, etc. The tymphani at the end just made sense in that regard. It's so hissy and hard to hear, it almost feels like a pregnant pause between songs. I thought, "Why is there all this space before 'Raspberry Beret?'"

I noticed it back in '85 as well. As a teen, I always listened to Prince on headphones with the volume turned up to 10. My philosophy was that Prince should make your ears bleed. Surprisingly, there doesn't appear to be any longterm ill effects because I do not suffer from hearing loss today (at least not yet, fingers crossed).

Rhino remastered it for vinyl in 2015, 24/96 digital versions used to be on HDTracks.com

I had a crappy little record player at the time. you know,

the one where the speaker is used to close 'the box'.

A few years later (in 1987) i had my very first own (second hand, 70's) great B&O design stereo-system.

And THAT changed all i heard by then.

Another world of sound opened up for me.

The best thing ever.

Still have it to this day.

I have got that HDTracks 24/96 version and it is really good IMO.

Yeah, I've got the HDTracks, too. It is quite lovely. Less compressed.

Same. I bought all the HD tracks. Well-worth it. I recall having to email them about "The Beautiful Ones" having a glitch. It took a while, but it was finally fixed.

How much did this cost?

-

Nothing, it was from my oldest cosin. He died, and his wife didn't wanted it anymore.

Although i have another soundsystem today in my house, I still use this one in my private studio /work space, to spin my likes whenever I like.

People walking in my office always walk straight toward it.

It is much wanted apparently.

Had to change the needle only once.
