So do we spam his inbox (craig@bbc.co.uk) with B-sides, album tracks, outtakes and live versions?

Somehow the playlist will be comprised of 100% radio singles with an available video. Even "Erotic City" and "Adore" will be deemed too obscuro.

He is, but I guess we can be thankful that he's not also American.

Tomorrow (Wednesday the 7th of June) would have been princes 65th birthday.What Prince tunes that are never played on the radio should I play on my daily show to celebrate?

I’ve sent my requests so will be interested to hear if any of them are played and what else Craig might pick. Always good to have Prince on the radio and BBC 6 Music are usually good at doing things to appreciate Prince’s music.
There may or may not be something coming!

Well that was underwhelming. While I wasn't expecting a full 3 hour show, I was hoping he was going to give a full hour over. There were a couple of songs that wouldn't usually be broadcast (17 days) but the rest was pretty standard stuff.

I had pretty high hopes for the big closer from the was he kept talking it up. Only to end on the super rare barely played... Diamonds and Pearls.

I'll get Joint 2 Joint on the radio someday.

Mainstream coverage of Prince consistently disappoints. Thanks for enduring it for us, was curious if it was as underwhelming as expected.

exhibit #2658302 why the Netflix doc cancellation/limbo is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
