Musicology (the song) - only Prince on insturments???

Hey y'all,

having listened to "Musicology" (the song, not the album), I kind of doubt Prince plays all the instruments as is claimed in the booklet. To my ears, it sounds as at least a little bit of real brass is in there, and since when does Prince play these? Or is it all sampled?

What's your opinion...

The drum track is a cut up (Pro Tools) version of Blackwell playing a groove. There are real horns on there, courtesy of M, C, and G. There are no samplers around that can imitate the intonation, sound and phrasing of a section like that.

Then it would be safe to assume it was all Prince, it's only indicated if otherwise.
