The single received a release around the world. The b-side, [[Solo]], was also taken from the album. |
A maxi-single was later released containing multiple remixes of [[Letitgo]], but none were remixed by [[Prince]] or anyone employed by him (of note is that the '''Original Album Version''' fades out fully, instead of overlapping with [[Orgasm]] as on the album). | A maxi-single was later released containing multiple remixes of [[Letitgo]], but none were remixed by [[Prince]] or anyone employed by him (of note is that the '''Original Album Version''' fades out fully, instead of overlapping with [[Orgasm]] as on the album). | ||

− | The | + | The single’s cover photograph, like that of the album [[Album: Come|Come]], was photographed by Terry Gydesen, and taken from the book [[Book:_The_Sacrifice_Of_Victor|The Sacrifice Of Victor]] (published the same year), which documented the 1993 [[Act II]] tour; the image used for '''Letitgo''' was the same image used on the book’s cover. |
The single (and the album that followed) were credited to "[[Prince]]", which led to some confusion, as he had publicly changed his name to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] a year before, and had worldwide success with [[Single: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World |The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] under his new name. | The single (and the album that followed) were credited to "[[Prince]]", which led to some confusion, as he had publicly changed his name to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] a year before, and had worldwide success with [[Single: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World |The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] under his new name. | ||
