Compilation/studio[edit]

An editor is taking up the issue of whether this is a studio album or not. It's not. Per verbatim to his issue with other Prince compilations, Studio albums are planned ahead, with newly recorded material. This set is made up of songs (demos, outakes, tracks written/recorded atleast two/three years beforehand) that were discarded. See studio album and compilation album. Now, since the editor is proposing his change, he ought to justify it beforehand here. Dan56 (talk) 06:52, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was a bootleg for the Parade Tour only, and after Purple Rain, Princes Big Bodyguard sold a story to tabloid, he was getting worse with his addiction to Cocaine. Also Morris Day at the very same time hit rock bottom with Coke, and Vanity his fiancé was supposed to be in the film, but became strung out. Everyone was falling around him, a very personal and very well expressed piece. Sorry to correct you. The later version came out 20 years later, at the time where he had to put out whatever, just to be finished with his commitment to Warner Bros. A cleaner version, but at that point he had less provocative lyrics. The first version was not meant for wide release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darcielwest (talk • contribs) 23:21, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
