Additional Information
Promotion (at time of release) Trivia
  • Interestingly, the 'Thank you' section features Alex Nevermind and Rhonda Smith. It is not known however if this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Prince’s famous alias (as the author of Sugar Walls) or an actual person as he is already cited as Prince and if Rhonda Smith is Prince’s future bass player or an homonym (she is not credited as a musician on the album).
