What is the story behind it?
Why was it black and how come it never got to see the daylite?



According to the LoveSexy book. The album is the counter of LOVESEXY (THE WHITE ALBUM), which would also explain why ~When 2 R N Luv~ is on both albums. APparently there was confusion as to which to put it on. Unfortunately, P wasn't exactly crazy about The Black album.

(I forget the source of the last statement, however I did read the rest in the book to the LS album- direct from Camille.)


Prince can sure tell 'em!

Oh shit.

It's a long story.

A bunch of left over songs and a couple of party tracks recorded for Sheila E's birthday.

Slung together on an album to show critics that Prince was still funky (i.e. "black").

Took the record to a club in MPLS, Ruperts, to test it on the crowd, took an 'E', had a bad trip and thought it was the work of the devil, so had it cancelled from release 1 week before it was due to hit stores.

A couple of weeks later he starts recording Lovesexy and the bootlegging business booms.



Damn you must've read the cliff notes!
