Another Camille track, “Rockhard in a Funky Place,” popped up on Prince’s similarly nixed Black Album, while a studio version of Camille opener “Rebirth of the Flesh” has never officially been released.Camille was scrapped just weeks before its release and after copies had already been printed; it’s unclear how many copies exist.
