Blank & Jones are respectable compilers and IIRC had at least one contact at a major that helped them out (one of the reasons they stopped making compilations is because that person retired, another was that licensing music etc. became such a hassle and the sales numbers had declined so much it had become an expensive hobby instead of a job that paid enough).

(Their earliest compilations sufferend from brickwalling, but after getting too many complaints they improved a lot.)

Kinda odd that this single isn't available at Qobuz etc. Those places often have Prince singles that were released in CD quality only, so this would have fit right in.

In the short "rap break" i swear it's Prince in the background doubling up the
"leaders got bored" line.
The only official credit to him is the cover photo to this single.
The groove is infectious, you can't not move when you hear it!
Even 5 minutes is too short for this 12" lol

Welcome to "the org", nayroo2002… life, it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop

I checked youtube, soundcloud and mixcloud, and found nothing.

It’s such an obvious one I can’t believe nobody’s done a mashup (if anyone has done one either they haven’t uploaded it or it’s well hidden).

So I made one for you.

I don’t know that I would apply the word ‘quality’ to it, but here it is anyway:

Enjoy (or not!).

Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP.

…and I stumbled on something odd: on Spotify is A6’s “blue limousine” and mazerati’s “players ball.”
.
Huh.🤔

if you could just pass your history class, baby, life would be all right.

How odd…

Why just have those two singles and not the albums?

Here’s another Spotify oddity

The Time’s Pandemonium has numbers in the titles of four tracks

Jerk Out #3, Chocolate #2, Data Bank #3, My Summertime Thang #3

Does this mean we were once going to get the original Prince versions at one time? And in the case of Jerk Out, maybe the original Mazerati version too?
