"The Latest Fashion" or "My Summertime Thang?" I'll admit it: I felt ripped off when I heard these two "Graffiti Bridge"-era songs. I heard "TLF" before "MST," and scornfully thought the Time was cheap for putting a "twin" on their album.
Years later, I know a lot more about how big a role Prince had in Time album production. (I'd always wondered why -- as a kid -- I heard Prince-like vocals on Time albums. Ha!) Personally, I prefer "MST." It just seems to have more going on, melodically and lyrically. The other song just seems like a thematic leap that falls flat. (How's that for mixing metaphors?) What's your pick? | |

My Summertime Thang then.
I agree. And wasn't it fun to put on that first Time album and go; "Uhm, that sounds like Prince in the background...It is! It is! It IS Prince in the back ground!" And oh well, on the fore sumtimes too, the cheaky bastard. | |

I hope you are not talking about the The Time version, which STINKS. Sorry Prince. (he just does not realise when he's got something good; if it is good, don't change it) | |

Throaway grooves they most definitely are. But Prince's guitar playing and electric piano solo on the unreleased extended version of 'The Latest Fashion' is nothing short of sublime, though. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

MST.
Neither are really good, but after hearing MST, TLF sounds really bad ! | |

David did actually say "throaway grooves". The jamming itself does kick some ass, though! . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |
