I think Prince liked to change things up to keep it fresh and to give him new people to play off of.Martin Maenzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640466353011569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620417008960069715.post-42673367892746930512011-07-12T14:50:56.028-04:002011-07-12T14:50:56.028-04:00Prince alternated between (seemingly) stripped-dow...Prince alternated between (seemingly) stripped-down songs such as "Kiss" and "When Doves Cry," and "kitchen-sink" songs such as "Christopher Tracy's Parade" and "Around the World in a Day" (which sound like "Sgt. Pepper" out-takes). Prince & the Revolution excelled at both, and the sequencing of the songs (I owned the cassette) worked out well - the transition from the album version of "Kiss" to "Anotherloverholenyohead" is excellent.<br /><br />If I recall correctly, this was the last Prince & the Revolution album. With all due respect to Prince himself, I think the Revolution was his best band, and the Sly & the Family Stone-like contributions from other band members were invaluable to the final product.Empopriseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344839707203239586noreply@blogger.com
