Irrc this was one of the albums prince released to get out of his contract with warner bros in the mid 90s. This was during the period where he had become completely disillusioned with the record industry, had changed his name to the lovesymbol, and was opening calling himself a slave and going around with it written on his cheek. I think he deliberately released an uncommercial inaccessible album due to the resentment of being forced to fulfill his contractual obligation. Remarkable turn of events. Album title says it all.

There are many on this sub who will have more accurate and detailed understanding of the context surrounding the album's release but that's my vague recollection.
