The album version's opening ("Ready or not, here I come") is sampled from the unreleased [[Vanity 6]] track [[Vibrator]], although actually extracted from [[Orgasm|Poem]], which was divided up throughout the album as segues (culminating in the final track, [[Orgasm]]). Recording dates and studio details are not known for the remixes, which did not contain any new input by [[Prince]]. The '''Caviar Radio Edit''' and its variants were remixed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Jones_III Q.D. III], son of famed producer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Jones Quincy Jones]. Of note, though, is that the '''Sherm Stick Edit''' and the '''(-) Sherm Stick Edit''' are both based around looped samples of [[The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker]] (uncredited), which can be heard throughout the song. |
