Date: November 17, 1992 Catalogue: 5439-18700-2 Format: CD Single (Cardboard Sleeve) Country: US TRACK LIST USA CD Single (5439-18700-2) Damn U (Unique Single Version) (4:04) 2 Whom It May Concern (4:01) LINKED RELEASES / VARIANTS Album version on Diamonds and Pearls (1991) UK “My Name Is Prince” single (earlier B-side appearance) Promotional releases and later compilations PERSONNEL Produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince and The New Power Generation THE STORY “Damn U” is a lush, emotional slow jam that highlights Prince’s vulnerability and the sophisticated R&B sound of the Diamonds and Pearls era. Released late in the album’s campaign, the single version is musically complete but omits the spoken segue found on the album track, making it unique to this release. The B-side “2 Whom It May Concern” had previously appeared on the UK “My Name Is Prince” single but made its US debut here. A saxophone instrumental version was also recorded but ultimately not included. CONTEXT & NOTES Housed in a cardboard slip sleeve with striking black-and-white photography, this US CD single is a collector’s piece from the tail end of the Diamonds and Pearls era. It was not released as a commercial CD in all territories and remains relatively scarce in this format.
