Deep cut, but:
I have a sneaking suspicion that when Prince had Clare Fischer do the strings for Crystal Ball, he said: "You know what you did for Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Egyptian Song"? Do that, but a bit more sinister."

Now Playing… The expanded edition of the Batman soundtrack.
The original album had a different ordering and different (very extended versions) of some songs. It also included "Dance with the Devil" which was cut from the film (and the shipping soundtrack).

In common with a fair few #Prince “fams”, I’m slightly baffled by the Estate’s apparent lack of interest in putting out a vinyl reissue of this one (surely, recreations of the white and peach promos from ‘94 have to be ridiculously obvious ideas for RSD releases? Sigh)

One of the best Prince songs, live version and the crowds you hear are from the Netherlands.

I'm D; white British cis bi guy he/him. I like information security, systems administration, DevOps. I've been around the IT industry for decades in various roles; now I'm not sufficiently specialist to do anything other than be a manager. I used to do politics but got better. Still a liberal. I enjoy video gaming, and quite a lot of Marvel stuff but I hope I'm not too boring about either. I live in Manchester, UK with my partners E and V, and near my partner P. I mostly post puns and selfies. Also https://scrim.social/sassquatch when I'm helping run that instance.

And because I can't go too long without listening to #Prince this is We Can Work it Out (unreleased, and unrelated to the Beatles tune)

Dance On!
One of the tracks never really discussed on the Lovesexy album, but it’s kinda brilliant.
It has polyrhythmic real drumming, mixed with industrial style drum machines… and church organs.
The lyrics are just as topical today.

Happy 39th, #SignOtheTimes !!! I remember you coming into this world, made me get a peach and black outfit for the concerts.
It was also the first year #Prince bankrupted me, but making my 1986 vow come through, which had me promise myself that if he'd ever come to the Netherlands again, I would see EVERY concert, not just one out of three.
Then he played seven concert in NL...
While the three albums with #TheRevolution sparked the obsession, 1987 started an inferno that lasted a lifetime.
