The B Side:
Six and ½ 2:34
The Brief:
Back in March, we ran a poll to see what series of 7″ singles everyone would like to see here on Fun With Vinyl. This week I’m running the second place finisher from that poll, Madhouse. Gonna include the 12″ releases also…
Madhouse was another in the myriad of side-projects that Prince immersed himself in during the 80s. The debut Madhouse LP was released January 21, 1987. It was simply titled ’8′ and included eight tracks with the titles of “One”, “Two”, etc. Prince performed all instruments on ’8′ with the exception of the saxophone and flute parts which were performed by Eric Leeds. The only single released from ’8′ was “Six” and it was backed with the non-album b-side “Six and ½” that was composed by Leeds and featured Atlanta Bliss on trumpet.
