It is my understanding that Prince & Co. specifically told Warner Brothers
not to release any singles from this album, and the radio promo people have
been instructed to service the albums with no indication as to what tracks
station's should play.  No promotion from WB at all apparently.

Of course some brave programming soul is going to it's EARS (!) and pick a
track to overplay.  This will quickly catch on in the trades and consultancies,
and everyone will once again be able to breath easy, confident that they
know what they're supposed to do.
