The Gold Experience--NOT WRITTEN BY PRINCE! Put your copy of The Gold Experience in your computer, preferably with Windows Media Player. Now put your mouse onto any one of the track titles in the 'Now Playing' menu. The information for the artist/title/etc will appear. Look at the "Artist" section. It says something that will shock and amaze u. 
Who are the 'Symbolic Three'????  I wish u heaven | |

Symbolic Three is just , which is obviously just Prince. He wrote it, it's his work.
Please don't make a similar thread when you pop Emancipation or Rave into your computer. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I'm not too clear on the details, but according to the Guiness Book of World Records, P has used more pseudonyms than any other person/artist. The Symbolic 3 is just another example of this. Cheers, JJ PS If you want to read into it, it has some pretty obvious religious/trinity overtones. | |

I think there is a reason why the only album that credits Symbolic Three is the only album of the 90's out of print besides the Black Album which was a limited edition. Something is up yo!!!! 
ps. sorry bout the dumbass remark, I'm a little worked up  I wish u heaven | |

I challenge you to put in any other 'Symbol' CD and see that it will not say 'Symbolic Three'. They all mention at least Prince once. Check it out yo. Scary!  I wish u heaven | |

Ya thinks too much...
Look it's really simple, TGE was the first album.
WB didn't know what the fuck to call him since you really couldn't put " " into the artist field
Prince never really liked the whole "Artist Formerly Known As..." thing. NPG refers to albums/compositions that had more participation by the band. So they went with "Symbolic Three" to represent the which is a combination of three different images, the symbols for male, female and the "horn".
OR "Symbolic Three" has also been used to refer to the trio of Prince, Sonny T and Michael B. OR It's a typo caused by the software trying to look up "Symbol" and coming up with the mid-80s rap group "Symbolic Three" ' [This message was edited Tue Apr 13 20:37:56 2004 by Universaluv] | |

Wasn't there some problem with the re-release of The Undertaker and a Madhouse album because of "Money" problems with former band members? And, hasn't Prince, when asked why no Gold in print that he has responded "We own that one"? Sounds like the issue with Sonny T. and Michael B. may be holding some stuff back... where is the US release of Exodus anyway? Same Band, Same timeframe... Keep diggin.  |

And why aren't there any "Gold"-era guitar picks up for auction on eBay?

Y'ALL ARE HARSH!!!! I Just noticed this about 3 days ago! The weird thing is, on my computer, all the operator tracks were by "prince" the songs by "symbolic three" I thought it was goofy that I'd never noticed it before....goofy enough that I called Vi to tell her good thing I just called and didn't post about it, or y'all woulda jumped my ass! ps..I'm assuming spanky was being silly with this post and didn't really believe that this meant P didn't write TGE.. | |

At first yes, but there are too many holes. Plus--if WB didn't know what to call him during this (his 1st symbol album) why did they credit the segue's to Prince and not the songs? Dude, c'mon! And, Universaluv, this is purely out of fun  [This message was edited Tue Apr 13 22:15:11 2004 by Spanky] I wish u heaven | |

[This message was edited Tue Apr 13 22:15:11 2004 by Spanky] I mean the fish slap not the thread, the thread is outta Prince love, the fish slap is outta fun... But maybe the bottom line is $$$ P wrote those songs with the band and had a falling out and didn't want to give them their cut. Money might talk, but what does it say? Or, if you think about the lyrics to 1+1+1=3, maybe the Symbolic Three is He and God and Mayte(ya know like out of love he made the dumb decision of giving her writing credit since they were 'one' in the covenant of marriage), and since the divorce he doesn't want to give Mayte anymore than he absolutely HAS to. Hence the out of print TGE...

The Symbolic Three was , Sonny T & Michael B. (also known as The Paisley Park Power
Trio & The New Power Trio). Of course The Gold Experience wasn't recorded by just them anyway, it featured the full NPG: , Sonny T, Michael B, Tommy Barbarella, Levi Seacer Jr,
Morris Hayes & Mayte. As to why The Gold Experience is credited to 'The Symbolic Three', I think it's just a case of having to put something since you can't spell " ". | |

Not the first time Windows Media Player had wrong info. For the first three months it was out, every time I stuck India.Arie's debut CD in my computer some info on a ganster rapper came up. I noticed the "symbolic three" thing ages ago, but just chalked it up to a screw up on the part of whoever put the info in. Its really not anything all that special or intriguing.

There were also "band" compositions on Diamonds and Pearls and 0(+> just to name a couple. No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.
