"%22Alphabet St.%22 was the first single from American musician Prince's 1988 album, Lovesexy, and the album's only top 10 single, reaching the top 10 in both the UK and US. Initially written as an acoustic blues song, the song's final version includes a rap by Cat Glover and is full of samples. 'Alphabet St.' generally repeats themes from Lovesexy. The B-side is a remix of %22Alphabet St.%22 called %22Alphabet St. (%22This is not music, this is a trip%22)%22. The title and other phrases are repeated at the beginning of the song, but essentially, it's an instrumental with a few minor changes.%22Alphabet St.%22 was the first Prince single released as a CD, albeit only in the UK and Japan. A promo CD was issued in the US." . . "CD single" . . "USRH11604677" . "0.914206"^^ . "5714dee025ac0d8aee4e6c4e" . . "false"^^ . "399818"^^ . . . "ccc9fc32-9560-43c9-8d43-774baac78f43" .
