   Issued as the B-side of the pop Top 10 hit “I Could Never Take the 

Place of Your Man”, “Hot Thing” reached #14 Billboard R&B.  The 

single “edit” used on the 45 cannot be exactly recreated from the LP 

version but has finally been issued on CD and digital 

download/streaming via the new Prince ‘Sign o’ the Times’ Deluxe and 

Super Deluxe Editions worldwide.

	Agreed! Been jamming to some of the single versions and vault tracks while working around the place this morning.

	"Hot Thing" appears to be the real single edit on the new "Sign O' the Times" box, but the "Housequake" 7-inch edit sounds to my ears to be a digital recreation. It fades a hair later than the 45 dub I got from Ed, and I also hear no tape hiss at the tail end of the fade at all, which I do hear on "Hot Thing."
