""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"

"...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."

So hot its cold

"About 10 years ago, a friend of mine allowed me to "just lay down and listen to it." I was overwhelmed. I had to make a copy on tape. Every person that I have allowed to hear it since then has begged for a copy of it. For those who are romantic and erotically inclined, you will have a chance to ... her/him; they will have the chance to... you; you both will have the chance to ... each other. Then when you are done, you can relax and listen to the rest of the music. Its rare and its worth more than the asking price. (raises eyebrow) "Trust me...""
