4.0 out of 5 stars Steamy Prince '89 single, August 20, 2000

"Scandalous" has always been a good ballad with a jazzy beat and R&B sexuality. In this single, the song is separated into three parts. "The Crime" is the song over an intimate meeting with Kim Basinger ("Vicki Vale"). It's not X-rated, but the sighs do suggest more than just talk is going on. "The Passion" is a slight remix with added vocals to give it more of an old time soul feel than before. "The Rapture" is an unconventional dub that famous guitar style, which helped, pack a "Pow!" to the "Batman" Soundtrack. "Sex" is a cool b-side of light funk that really was Prince's sound around the time. It should have been on the album. "When 2 R In Love" is a sexy ballad from "Lovesexy". It has a great old time R&B feel.

In all a nice collectable single with a few extras, but don't look for some kind of dance version to the song. The 3 parts of the song are complementary to each other and click well. A good timepiece of his cool 1989 sound which is very unique and misunderstood

This is essentially a 19 minute remix of "Scandalous" from the Batman soundtrack, although it's broken up into three "movements". Lots of extra stuff in this version, including saxophone playing by Eric Leeds and "pillow talk" by Kim Basinger. The "b-side" is "Sex", which is a great song that wasn't included on Prince's "The B-Sides" CD. The final song is "When 2 R in Love", a great ballad from the Lovesexy album. Prince fans should get off on this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Find someone special...., August 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Scandalous Sex Suite (Audio CD)

...turn out the lights, light some candles, chill some wine, put the Scandalous Sex Suite in your disc player... This is a great little EP - it's basically a 30 minute version of the song Scandalous with some great extra verses and a little "background vocals" (mainly moaning and groaning) from Kim Basinger. It's a great listen and great background music for bedtime activities.
