Prince Album: “Thieves in the Temple”

Theives In the Temple is arguably Prince's best dance remix of the 90s. It is classic Prince style with a funky bass line and irresistable, multi-voiced background vocals. The additional verse makes the remix all the better. The "House" version of "Temple" is all about getting up off your butt and jamming. A must own.

My mom actually purchased this on vinyl when it first came out. As always with Prince, when he does a single, he adds extra versions of the song that most are bound to enjoy more so than the radio or even album edits. And any vinyl head I know always wants an extended version and a dance version, both are included with this LP.

I like Thieves In The Temple, not one of my favorites, but still very strong, though I tend to feel a bit weary towards the Graffiti Bridge album.

These mixes, however, are rather weak. I hate dubs, they always take whatever pieces from the vocal remix that weren't from the original recording and just make it twice as long, this dub is a classic example. With that said, there really isn't any reason why I should wish to listen to this single.

I had gotten this out of impulse at a record store, and it wasn't a bad buy, but I can think of many more Prince singles that had much more effort put into them.
