glam slam

i'm sure this has been done b4,but what's the opinion on the org re; this track.

ive been banging on bout this album (lovesexy).. 4 a while now ! but glam slam is shit yeah ? spoils the album, i always choose this track wen peeps talkin bout poor p song's, most folks agree (i think) or r there peeps out there who really like it ?

i even got a cd made ,which was tracked so i could skip it , back wen it was really difficult 2 do cd copies etc.

so guy's is it thumbs down 4 GS or not ?

Glam Slam is my 3rd favourite song from 'Lovesexy'.

The ending alone makes it an excellent song.

I still think the single edit suits it. biggrin

And why ain't that on CD? shake
The Let's Go Crazy and Batdance single edits aren't on CD either. They should've put those versions on The Hits or The Very Best Of rather than the album versions. nod


In fairness, there should have been Batman tracks on The Hits and The Very Best Of as those were among his greatest hits, period.

I love Glam Slam. I remember when I first got the Lovesexy album, I listened to this track over and over again. The melody alone is great (yeah, the video was great too, I agree with the person above who said that). biggrin

I love this song - I used to put it on first thing in a morning to wake me up,it has that fresh, happy vibe about it.

But as a single? I don't think people got it. I remember UK dj Steve Wright playing it on Radio 1 when it first came out, they played it right to the weird end bit, then Steve said, "He's gone completely bonkers, hasn't he?" I'm sure that's how a lot of people thought, especially with the naked lovesexy cover on the album.

Dance On would have been a great single instead.

The Single Edit was included on the UK 3" CD. I have a copy. I've never seen the full-length of Escape on CD though...

Is the version of 'Escape' on the b-sides cd an edit?

Yeah, its an edit on The Hits/The B-Sides album. I wonder if the Japanese CD single had the full length version of Escape on it? Does anybody know?

lol, thats a funny story, especially when you consider the shit he'd done before, as if you didn't know (if you thought in that mindset i mean, ie how he has always come across) but i suppose lovesexy might have been the first time people had had it pushed in their face! props to prince for doing it though.

as for the song. i love everything about it! i love the lyrics, theyre pretty simple on purpose, cos of his love for her, at least thats the way i see it. "i know i hold you too tight.." "glam slam thank U mam U really make my day" and the sound of the guitar is amazing too.

i really am going to have to listen to lovesexy now!!!

I think the remix is credited to Junior Vasquez and the Latin Rascals.

I may be wrong, but I think that this was the first released remix which was not (re)produced by Prince.

I love Glam Slam too. Very under-rated single...
