Wow. This was probably my most anticipated (full) unreleased song. I listened to a one-minute, then a two-minute snippet for years; great to finally hear the whole thing. The most energetic part is probably still packed in the first two minutes, but it's crazy how the song switches up afterward, especially toward the end. Great guitar.
Best of the vault tracks we’ve heard so far

Neal Karlen was the journalist who received the first major press interview for Rolling Stone during prince’s silence after fame.
Here’s the synopsis:
“Neal Karlen was the only journalist Prince granted in-depth press interviews to for over a dozen years, from before Purple Rain to when the artist changed his name to an unpronounceable glyph. Karlen interviewed Prince for three Rolling Stone cover stories, wrote “3 Chains o’ Gold,” Prince’s “rock video opera,” as well as the star’s last testament, which may be buried with Prince’s will underneath Prince’s vast and private compound, Paisley Park.
According to Prince's former fiancée Susannah Melvoin, Karlen was “the only reporter who made Prince sound like what he really sounded like.” Karlen quit writing about Prince a quarter-century before the mega-star died, but he never quit Prince, and the two remained friends for the last thirty-one years of the superstar’s life.
Well before they met as writer and subject, Prince and Karlen knew each other as two of the gang of kids who biked around Minneapolis’s mostly-segregated Northside. (They played basketball at the Dairy Queen next door to Karlen’s grandparents, two blocks from the budding musician.) He asserts that Prince can’t be understood without first understanding ‘70s Minneapolis, and that even Prince’s best friends knew only 15 percent of him: that was all he was willing and able to give, no matter how much he cared for them.
Going back to Prince Rogers Nelson's roots, especially his contradictory, often tortured, and sometimes violent relationship with his father, This Thing Called Life profoundly changes what we know about Prince, and explains him as no biography has: a superstar who calls in the middle of the night to talk, who loved The Wire and could quote from every episode of The Office, who frequented libraries and jammed spontaneously for local crowds (and fed everyone pancakes afterward), who was lonely but craved being alone. Readers will drive around Minneapolis with Prince in a convertible, talk about movies and music and life, and watch as he tries not to curse, instead dishing a healthy dose of “mamma jammas.” “

Just pre-ordered on amazon
Is it me or is Sign O The Times not mixed correctly on spotify
yeah that album is badly mastered as a whole
But wb also does this weird thing with their digital releases for older albums; for some reason they mix the singles 1000x louder than the rest of the tracks on the album
the standard version of Purple Rain is the same thing, Parade too, they even replace the songs with the wrong single mixes and not the album mixes (see; I Would Die 4 U on the standard version of Purple Rain, Kiss on Parade)
Dk if that's what you're referring to though
