One last point worth noting: Presentation is shoddy, typical of the new Estate. The pressing is fine to my ears -- not that a Josh Welton prod. would ever please audiophiles -- but Fallinlove2night is on Side A despite the track list putting it at the beginning of Side B... just that kind of shit.
![Excerpt from my post on "17 Days": "He would pick up the groove again a few months later–either late December or early January, by Tudahl’s reckoning–when he, drummer Bobby Z, Lisa and Wendy, and their respective siblings David Coleman and Jonathan Melvoin, arrived at Sunset Sound to cut the master version. By this point, Prince had been jamming on '17 Days' for so long that he wanted plenty of room to stretch out; so he instructed assistant engineer Bill Jackson to roll the tape at a slower speed (15 ips, or inches per second, rather than the then-industry standard 30), allowing for more recording time at a cost to fidelity. 'I said[,] "That’s not aligned. It’s not going to sound right,”' Jackson remembered, 'but he didn’t care about that and said, "Just do it.”' The ever-mercurial artist then proceeded to launch into the song before Jackson was ready, leaving the soundman scrambling: 'As they were playing I was adding some EQ and making things sound a little better and getting the levels right and they played until the tape ran out for like thirty minutes.'”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:okf7t2zviubiytxg54aqru6p/bafkreifqdrxnsnqv5horryypp4krgf3g4fbvgpaphtilzx4vsgv7uyip7q)
