    I'll have to read a review of the package. "The self-obsessed
wanker formerly known as Prince" (Thanks Stev0!) was refered to
on _The Red Shoes_ as "Prince", so, for the purposes of Kate-
related discussion, I think we can refer to him as Prince.

   I did like "Diamonds and Pearls", but have no reason to believe that 
his last release on a label he hates should be anything other than
dregs.

     From the subject matter - it *might* be a Prince remix/remake of
_Deeper Understanding_. Or a floor wax.
