I’m going to be honest. Prince pulled this album because it sucks. The material here is the result of a poorly scheduled binge, and it shows.
From the obnoxious opener to the relieving closer this album blasts some of the most outdated, and recycled sounds from the eighties that if not for the collectors value, you would be convinced that this is parody. In fact it is such an unfortunate album that prince wisely garbaged this trash to salvage his name. -

Hello,
question: does anybody now if there is a legit variant of this release without the "hü" etched in the runout?
And otherwise 100% the same?
Thank you,

1994-release is consired the official release. Of course, there's the far more interesting WITHDRAWN release of December 1987 - please, look at the 'Unofficial Release' section for that one.
