I remember an radio interview with Mick Fleetwood who said the song
supposed to
end side one on Rumors, but they would have to cut the stampers for the LP
at a
poor quality low volume (like K-Tel) so they opted to leave it off and use it
as a B-side.

Many of Prince's less serious and more personal tracks (like "Hello" - about a
photographer who jumped in his limo to get his picture in 1985) wound up as
B-sides. It was almost manditory to buy his 45's back then just because so
many
times they were as good as the A.  "Erotic City" would have fit in nicely on
the "Purple Rain" soundtrack too - it got more spins at frat parties at my
university in 1984 than anything else from that LP. "Horny Toad" and "Scarlet
Pussy" (by Camille) are also fun jams.
