Gett Off was released during a high point in Prince's career. I was a big fan, obsessively collecting LPs, videos and singles, but this track still took me by surprise. There aren't many harder grooves in Prince's arsenal. A crunching beat and bassline, matched with screeching horns and some nasty vocals make this my favourite release by Prince's NPG incarnation. The remixes/B-sides are also pretty much essential tracks if you like the funk. Violet the Organ Grinder is one of those b-sides any fan will love, like 200 Balloons or Escape. Play these tracks at a party and you'll raise some eyebrows - they rock!. If you like dance music, my advice is buy this one.

Love, love, Violet!!!!!!!

Format:Audio CD
I, enjoying Prince, to no end of course buy the maxi singles. Gett Off is a terrific song and the reinterpretations of this classic are beautiful but what makes this CD stand out and become a huge twist on an already great song is Violet the Organ Grinder. Using some of the same melodies and bass beats, Prince creates a whole new spin on Gett Off, a darker, more intimately sexually graphic song than Gett Off! Which one might think impossible but true!
Buy it, buy it, buy it!
Buy it, buy it, buy it!

Aside from Gett Off, which is a great song, the song that stands out on this CD, which is even more funky than Gett Off, is Violet The Organ Grinder. U must hear it! It's classic Prince! If u have 2 climb a mountain or b nice 2 u're irritating girlfriend 2 buy this CD, then do it! Maybe Violet could teach her something!!!!!!!

The Greatest "Artist" of All Time!

"2 Whomever it May Concern, u must come to your senses, there are no KINGS on this earth only PRINCEs". "His name is PRINCE & HE IS FUNKY"!
As always, Prince has remained true to his name. He never ceases to amaze me. I remember watching the Gett OFF vhs when it first dropped in '91, in complete awe! And even in 2002, this is certainly a masterpiece. This CD is a funky,"LOVESEXYMUTHA".

To all the Purple People in this world, if you don't own it, buy it, you will "GETT OFF" to "VIOLET THE ORGAN GRINDER"!
Peace & Be Wild......................
