Uh... okay. Is this a slam at Prince? Um, Prince created The Family. Prince wrote them their one and only hit... so...  Nice way to announce a "come back". Sounds kinda bitter to me.
...and another thing... why is this front page news? A sticky would have sufficed. I feel the opposite. This news is bigger to me than a new Prince album. You do raise a good point though in that if Prince isn't involved, who will be doing the songwriting? Paul? I wasn't that impressed with his first solo album. | |

She got some mad songwriting skills. Ask Madonna. | |

I've often wondered if construction of a red lightsaber takes place before you can become a Republican, or is it something you do after initiation. Dah, well...  | |

Adisa has it spot on. Only people who know the band's history will buy new material... unless they manufacture something great that puts them in the music spotlight. Until that time this is huge Prince news. "words are like shoes, they're just something you stand on." | |

I would love it if they could release the new cd along with the original Family cd in a two cd package! I'll also settle for just the new cd. | |

Sounds kinda bitter to me.I think what they mean is,they're gonna actually promote the record the way it should have been promoted.Back in 1985,Paul Peterson and the other members were disappointed with the lack of promotion their album received.Prince was spreading himself too thin....filming 'Under The Cherry Moon',recording 'Parade',doing occasional gigs,AND trying to run a record company.As a result,the Family album came and went without making any impact.They don't want the same thing to happen this time. | |

This is great news for Family fams. They, along with Prince put 2gether a decent set of music. It was truly a shame that they put 2gether the best version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' and most people have never heard it. If they can work with P and put 2gether some new tracks, that would be fantastic.

bhayesview said: If they are bitter, who could blame them. I'm sure they worked pretty hard 2 put the album out and P pretty much gives them the Heisman because it conflicts with completing the 'Under The Cherry Moon' project. He's a great musician but u kinda have to admit that when he gets bored with or something more enticing comes along he tends to bail on certain projects.
According to Paul Peterson,the promotion for the Family album was non-existent.They did a video for the first single "Screams Of Passion" and played one gig at First Avenue.He angrily called Prince on the phone while he was in France filming 'Under The Cherry Moon'.He told Prince "You can't do a million things at one time",and Prince replied "Oh yes I can.I did it with the Time.I did it with Sheila E"  After this heated conversation,Paul quit the band and they broke up. | |

 That would be great, since I didn't have their first album on CD, only on cassette.Irish Diplomacy: The art of telling someone to go to hell, and having them look forward to the trip.

as far as "promotion" ... i remember working in a small radio station back then and i thought it was promoted well ... i remember playin "screams of passion " a few times .... of course i thought it ... "eh" for Prince ... but hey what do i know ....  Not sure what Paul did after quitting the Family. I know he released several solo albums, but I don't think they sold very well, unfortunately.Irish Diplomacy: The art of telling someone to go to hell, and having them look forward to the trip.
