I'm not bothered about For You or Xpectation... but I wanna know if I have every RELEASED Prince album? Knowing that there's released stuff out there that I hadn't heard is a blasphemous thought.

Controversy
1999
Purple Rain
Around The World In A Day
Parade
Sign O The Times
Lovesexy
Batman
Graffitti Bridge
Diamonds & Pearls
Symbol

The Beautiful Experience is more an E.P than an album.

Mind you.....if he has included 'High', and excluded 'For You' - I guess anything could be shoved on the list razz

I don't understand why you are not bothered about "For You". It's an essential album for any Prince collection. Not only that, but it's a superb little album in its own right.

I second that emotion. "For You" is a great little set of songs. If for no other reason you should have it as his first, polished work (as opposed to the 94 East stuff which was recorded before "For You").

Technically not a Prince album

if you include that then you'll have to add in load of "associated artists" purely becuase he played on the albums.

No way, a couple tracks with guitar work don't qualify before the scores of protege albums.

As for For You - pass it up and it's your loss, in years to come Prince and For You will become very cherished indeed, I guarantee it.

Once one has all the albums released under his own name(s), it's time to start digging into the albums released under other artists names, because (to me) the albums he did for the likes of Sheila E., The Family, Madhouse, Jill Jones, The Time, etc, etc are as essentially Prince albums as Purple Rain or Sign O' The Times.

You can see a comprehensive list of Prince releases in this thread:

http://www.prince.org/msg/7/116565


Just search (Ctrl+F) for "Prince & Produced - Officially released albums"

Been looking for this. To no avail... (ahem)sigh... I'm such a loser... a loser with an extensive collection of our hero's output. Maybe someday my life will be made whole by having in my mits 12" Archive v2.0... :another plaintive and well rehearsed sigh:...

Just before anyone asks these:

ThataintFunky said:

Just Another Sucker (Dance Mix), If You Feel Like Dancin' (Dance Version), If You Feel Like Dancin' (Radio Edit),


.... are 94 East tracks.


And these:

ThataintFunky said:

Just As Long As We're Together (Disco Mix), Soft And Wet (Disco Mix),


.... are slightly different mixes (not remixes) of the album versions of both tracks.

Also get the 12 Inch versions of;

Purple rain /B- Side - God (instrumental)
Let's go crazy /B- Side - Erotic City (extended)
Mountains / B-Side - Alexa de Paris (extended)
Kiss / B-Side - Love Or Money (extended)
and I wish u heaven / B-Side - Scarlet Pussy (extended)

In fact you should buy all the 12 inches he ever released , but particularly
those above , imo

(if they're not available anywhere try Kazaa or DC++)

I wish he would do more songs where he harmonizes with himself with 7 or 8 different voices. Love that. The only time he's done that again was on 7, another favorite. The sound his voice makes is just incredible.

Prince multi-tracks a lot of vocals - like 7 - you can hear that he's singing the same line in a different register - as opposed to say lots of other acts who just fill out a vocal line by doubling up the original vocal recording.

Think of Adore. smile

Guess you'll have to count The Slaughterhouse and The Chocolate Invasion as officially released albums, too.
