It's not me, it's you.

@Baron3121 There's a more raw arrangement of The Ball that's the best of the lot. The rhythm guitar is higher in the mix and the whole thing sounds much more alive.

@funkatopia @prince Also 7. Followed by 1, 4, (& 5).

@Cheamane The B-side is called 'Hey Vanity'.

@iamslickrick1 I think the vault material for this is stored on the topmost shelves, and they're still looking for the ladder.

@funkatopia Pessimistic attitudes, never will he wear.

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@iamslickrick1 And that's the great thing about musicians. There's always a person (or people) who come along, pick up the ball, and run with it, like Prince did for Sly, etc..

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@iamslickrick1 I think he followed the normal curve for artists. 10 years is a good run for your most creative/unpredictable stuff; you keep in touch for the odd suprise later. There are songs on A3000's Love Below that I could've imagined a different-direction-Prince doing 15 years earlier.

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@iamslickrick1 Not really. She had tickets for cancelled SOTT shows, and had been a fan since 1999, knew B-sides and bootlegs. There weren't any casual fans in the UK in the 80s. He was definitely seen as weird and an acquired taste. The casuals jumped on at D&P for a few years.

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@iamslickrick1 But there was some filler, some moments where he seemed a bit disconnected from the crowd, and compared to the Parade/SOTT/Lovesexy shows, it was uninspiring. I'd rate it Nude Tour out of 10.

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@iamslickrick1 I went once with my wife for our anniversary (her first Prince show, though also a fan since the 80s). Thought it was generally a good, tight, oldskool RnB revue. Showcased Maceo et al on jammed out tunes like Musicology and Controversy. Surprises like Forever In My Life and '7'

@nocapmedia Adam Buxton’s still got those anger issues.

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@geofferz Get well soon (or, you know, when you're ready).

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@sacrificeofvic The looped guitar solo from 'Let's Go Crazy' in Public Enemy's 'Brothers Gonna Work It Out' (from 0:19s) https://t.co/jhEY3SICYs

The weirdest thing about zombie movies is that they all take place in a world where no one has ever seen a zombie movie. No one ever says 'oh my god this is just like a George Romero movie', and they act like they've never ever heard of zombies.

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@TinaBakerBooks It's the Carica papaya, aka 'Pawpaw'.

[Scarlett Parker @BringMeMyFix]

@iamslickrick1 When you see those repeated takes for Housequake, you realise why it looked so easy. Hardest working man in pop. Never took it for granted, always striving for more. Lead by example. (some people could rehearse 24/7 and never get close though 😆)

@FergusCraig No-one's going to buy this made up story about having a kid.
