Today in Princestory - Joy In Repetiton!

Today in Princestory - Joy In Repetition was recorded! One of my all time favorites, it's a great day to celebrate it!

One of the biggest missing pieces from the SOTT SDE: the un-segued full version of Joy in Repetition!

While I would of course enjoy having it in pristine quality, I never understood the fascination so many fans have always had for this unsegued intro. It never amounted to anything special for me (though I love JiR passionately, regardless of which intro it uses), but obviously, it does for many people.

Can't speak for others, but for me, I detest the segued intros. It makes the start to imo one of the best songs Prince ever made always feel and taste bad. Basically, the segued intro ruins the first half of the song as it is needed to wash away the bitter taste of the segue.

.

Now, I agree that the actual intro isn't that special, but it isn't bad. That is why I am looking forward to finally hearing a pristine version of just Joy in Repetition, without any palate destroying intros.

you can bet your ass that once we do get it, in 2063, they'll manage to fuck up the intro
by having some major glitch in there or starting it half a beat too early, with a bit of sharp
static or something lol

At least on the LP and cassette the outro is un-segued biggrin
