On Sampling JJ @polishedsolid weaves a fascinating alternate unknown history of JJ as the Rave Muse sampled in Breakbeat Hardcore classics rinsed at every rave in the early 90’s - perhaps spreading JJ’s legacy further afield than Paisley Park ever did....
MM was constructed over a period of 7 months at Sunset Sound.
On 10 May 1985, after finalising the configuration of the Mazarati album, P created the initial version of MM.
On 12 May 1985 P recorded overdubs & it’s also possible that JJ laid down the vocals on this date.
In that same month, P was laying down tracks & configuring several other projects including Parade, The Family, ATWIAD, Dance Electric, Manic Monday & Roadhouse Garden.
He was also working on a no. of unreleased tracks.
And also planning UTCM & scouting for movie locations🤯
I wish I could drop a streaming link to this album but it isn’t on streaming platforms.
it went out of print not long after its release & is difficult to find on Vinyl & CD.
There’s a GREAT demand for a JJ SDE on translucent Pink💖Vinyl.
And it needs to come out NOW 🖤💀

JJ is standing over a manhole & is pulling down her flyaway skirt to avoid exposing her underwear.
This mirrors the iconic movie poster to the Monroe classic “7 Year Itch” - Monroe standing on a subway grate as her white dress is blown upwards by a passing train.

Yeah, we'll try to imagine what,
what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try to imagine what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try
