It isn't a circulating track - but obviously Prince, Eric Leeds and Susan Rogers have heard it - and Susan Rogers' opinion was not glowing. ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

I think Susan Rogers said it was very cheezy, but Prince was really happy with it - so I also reckon it would sound like When 2 r in love - which I love! so f*** that engineer and release CB II!!!!! | |

Adonis & Batsheba
2 an orgy in a garden of flowers Adonis & Batsheba flew All of creation awaits them As they dance by the crystal blue Stream of desire and erotic rebellion That parade through their hearts and minds They look at one another as much as they don't 2 touch is their need 2 love they are blind An abandoned gazebo houses what looks 2 be a perfect place they undress as they re running Batsheba crying Adonis - sweat upon his face 4 them there is no morning Only night decisions so grand There is no bed, how will they ever They decide 2 stand No bed, they decide 2 stand Adonis & Batsheba in a garden of flowers | |

Susan Rogers was running her mouth off. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

I thought it was neat, but even the person who played it for me dissed it. Apparently, Susan Rogers said it was a sappy, silly track and that opinion was transferred to everyone who subsequently heard it. | |

I've been meaning to post this over the last week or so but - for those who've already got their copy of 'The Vault'; not me, yet  - there might be further info published there.
Anyway, here's what Uptown's excellent 'Turn It Up 2.0' (2001) has to say about 'Adonis and Bathsheeba': '"It was sappy and just plain silly", says Susan Rogers of 'Adonis and Bathsheeba', which she describes as a syrupy and sentimental ballad. "I mean, there's romantic love and there's syrupy love - this was pure saccharine. The chorus went 'Adonis and Bathsheeba in a garden of love' and a harp came on. I was sitting there as quiet as possible but I had a laughing fit and I just couldn't stop. And I was really embarrassed because I was sitting next to Prince and he asked "What's the matter with you?". I said, "I'm sorry, I just think the song is really funny". And he said, "You don't like the harp?". He would often ask us our opinion. I said, "I've got to be truthful, I think the whole thing is just silly. I just don't think it's worthy of your best work". He didn't like criticism but we didn't work much longer on it". The swooning, yearning music of 'Adonis and Bathsheeba' is clearly intended to summon thoughts of romance, but the overall result is disappointing due to the bland and insubstantial melody as well as Prince's quivering, affected vocal delivery. The arrangement is cluttered and overwrought with strings, horns and other instruments competing for attention. The song was tracked in Prince's home studio on July 27th 1986, shortly after he had completed the final version of 'Dream Factory'. Eric Leeds added a saxophone part on the same day. Prince appears to be fond of it as the lyrics were published in '10,000' magazine released in 1993 under his supervision. Furthermore, Eric remembers Prince commenting to him that he thought it was "one of the best lyrics" he had ever written. The song was one of the 17 chosen by fans during the 'Prince: A Celebration' week in 2000 for inclusion on a possible 'Crystal Ball Volume 2' album'. Sounds quite interesting! By the way, for those of you lucky enough to have 'The Vault' yet - does it go into more detail re: unreleased songs? And do any 'new' songs appear in the list that we haven't read about previously? I'm DYING to read it!!!  | |

There were 25 tracks on the CDR. | |

If you have these, you should be giving them out for free don't you think? Prince even said he wanted his music to be free so start giving baby! lol. I've read about alot of unreleased songs in UPTOWN (and there are alot of them in The Vault book).

I thought I made it clear that I was never given these tracks. I don't have them. Funny you should say that about writing for UPTOWN. Per emailed me out of the blue at the beginning of this year to ask if UPTOWN could run my review of the Fanily Jamm in their final issue. It wasn't published but I was jazzed to be asked. | |

If youve got them then you should let all of us hear them. iit is totally uncool to think that because you were special enough to have them you shouldnt share them with everyone. Whats up with that? Am I right or am I right! Seriously just because someone has heard them or even has thme why tell us about them? It only makes it tougher for me and I bet alot of others when someone talks about hearing them and then not even sharing them with everyone. I dont want to sound like a dick but since you probably have them you should get them out to everyone. Or at least get them and get them out to everyone. Lie to the connection you have and get them and spread the wealth man. Id do it if I was as connectded as you are. were all fans here and when someone rubs our noses in it it hurts us alot. why not give them to everyone so we all can enjoy what you and your freinds already have. talk about selfish. | |
