    Was Prince planning an all out Camille project or was it just a couple of joints with his alter ego?

    Camille is an unreleased album by Prince, recorded in 1986. The album was planned to consist of 8 tracks recorded by the singer in a funky, sped up vocal. The album was to be released under the name Camille (who would not be pictured on the cover) and not as a Prince album. Much of the music has been released officially in some form or another, however, one song, "Rebirth of the Flesh" remains unreleased in its original form. In 2001, a live rehearsal of "Rebirth of the Flesh" recorded with the Sign "???" the Times band was released on Prince's Web site. This version, however, had profanity edited from the lyrics. The album was canceled weeks prior to its release in favor of the more ambitious Sign "???" the Times album. The concept itself was also abandoned and most of the tracks were incorporated into Crystal Ball, which evolved into Sign "???" the Times.

    "Rebirth of the Flesh": Prince recorded this song at Sunset Sound on October 28, 1986, on the same day as "Rockhard in a Funky Place". When the Camille album was shelved, the song was slated for inclusion on Prince's next album project, Crystal Ball. It was going to be the opening track segueing into "Play in the Sunshine". The NPG Music Club made a 1988 Lovesexy Tour rehearsal recording available in September 2001, which means that all the Camille tracks have now been officially released, although the original studio version remains unofficially released on bootlegs.
    "Housequake"
    "Strange Relationship"
    "Feel U Up": This outtake was recorded toward the end of 1981 and was taped in sequence with "Irresistible Bitch". Both songs were re-recorded later. "Feel U Up" was re-recorded in 1986 and the lyrics of both recordings are very similar. The track was finally released in 1989 as the B-side of "Partyman".
    "Shockadelica": Originally written (unsolicited) by Prince in response to Jesse Johnson's then-forthcoming album titled Shockadelica (1986) because that album had no song to match/complement what Prince felt was such a great album title. "Shockadelica" was later included as a B-side of "If I Was Your Girlfriend".
    "Good Love": Released on the Bright Lights, Big City film soundtrack in 1988.
    "If I Was Your Girlfriend"
    "Rockhard in a Funky Place": Also included on The Black Album (1987) project.
    Two other songs were credited to Camille after the album project was abandoned. The first was "Scarlet Pussy", which was released as the B-side of the 1988 single "I Wish U Heaven" featuring a black label with the artist Camille credited in deep peach. Also, "U Got the Look", which appeared on Sign "???" the Times and was also released as a single. The video was recorded in France while Prince was on tour and the video was later added into the film Sign "???" the Times.

    Prince would later resurrect the character of Camille for the 1988 Lovesexy tour. Within the show, "Camille" sang in a low tone, with Prince's vocal filtered to sound slower. Prince has used this technique on numerous occasions, uncredited to Camille. Prince confirms in the Lovesexy tour book that "Camille" is the creator of "The Black Album".

    I would like to know too. I first learned of the record in the early 90's, but on the Both Sides now site there is doubt that it was ever released. I'm still looking though.

    It's the Paris '70 show w/ the Bootsy era band.

    It went beyond the acetate stage and there are vinyl test pressings. It was intended as a double album but, unfortunately, never happened. The CD is an edited version (no bass solo!).
