I counted 36 officially released Prince STUDIO albums today ....including New Power Soul since that's regarded as one of his but not Exodus cuz it's regarded more as an NPG album. Left out the hits and compilations since that was made up of various previously released tracks.
And I left out the live stuff and Elixer. Is that right? 1 For you 1978 2 Prince 1979 3 Dirty mind 1980 4 Controversy 1981 5 1999 1982 6 Purple Rain 1984 7 Around The World In A Day 1985 8 Parade 1986 9 Sign o’ The Times (2 disc set) 1987 10 Lovesexy 1988 11 Batman original motion picture soundtrack 1989 12 Graffiti bridge 1990 13 Diamonds and Pearls 1991 14 Love Symbol 1992 15 Come 1994 16 The Black Album 1994 17 Gold 1995 18 Chaos and Disorder 1996 19 Emancipation (3 disc set) 1996 20 Crystal Ball (4 CD set) 1997 21 The Truth 1997 22 Kamasutra (NPG Orchestra) 1997 23 New Power Soul (New Power Generation) 1998 24 Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic 1999 25 One Night Alone 2000 26 The Rainbow Children 2001 27 Xpectation 2003 28 C-note 2003 29 N.E.W.S. 2003 30 The Chocolate Invasion 2004 31 The Slaughterhouse 2004 32 Musicology 2004 33 3121 2006 34 Planet Earth 2007 35 Lotusflow3r 2009 36 MPLSound 2009 [Edited 4/13/09 7:03am] | |

I listed all of the ones I know of... did a little research for the ones I forgot to mention... erased a few that are regarded as compilations and such...
I came up with 35. While considering Lotusflow3r and MPLSound as two different albums and I might be short an Internet release or two (I put Xenophobia & C-Note on my list and might be missing one)  had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

In my option: different editions don't count. And Beautiful Experience is just a maxi single to me. | |

I agree, I just didn't feel like going through a list I already made of ones I have in my own personal collection and change it. Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. |

And I left out the live stuff and Elixer. Is that right? you should have left Chocolate Invasion and Slaughterhouse cuz they were still recorded in studios and it's not like any of his other albums were recorded as a whole all in one studio. To Sir, with Love | |

And I left out the live stuff and Elixer. Is that right? Well, it's all a matter of opinion... I definitely wouldn't include Newpower Soul, unless you are also going to include Goldnigga and Exodus. As for The Chocolate Invasion and The Slaughterhouse, I'd include them (as they're just as valid as Crystal Ball). Unless you limit the list to physically released albums, and discount any releases that were download only. | |

I think for the most part, right on except maybe "New Power Soul". I consider it a Prince album and NPG in name only (perhaps trying to get away from the love symbol moniker since it caused so much frustration and confusion). | |

Then you also have to leave out Graffiti Bridge. |

lotusflw3r said: In New Zealand to Date the following have been released and therefore count as official albums. As you can see, I can bet you big money Prince has never heard of or wants to hear of New Zealand. All the music that comes into our country is restricted by the one company SONYBMG which is generally a dinosaur which restricts flow and so we are fed a diet of gangsta rap and crappy techno Europop like Crazy Frog, as well as being forced to listen to our own lame offerings (Not anyone in NZ is a s corny as the guys from Flight of the Conchords, believe it or not we don't all act like Pee Wee Hermann or have aspergers syndrome. 1 For you 1978 (Released 1984 here) 2 Prince 1979 (Released 1980 here) 3 Dirty mind 1980 (1981) 4 Controversy 1981 (1981) 5 1999 1982 6 Purple rain 1984 7 Around the world in a day 1985 8 Parade 1986 9 Sign o’ the times 1987 10 Lovesexy 1988 11 Batman 1989 12 Graffiti bridge 1990 13 Diamonds and pearls 1991 14 Symbol 1992 15 Come 1994 16 The black album 1994 17 The Gold Experience 1995 18 Chaos and disorder 1996 19 Emancipation 1996 20 Crystal ball 1997 21 The Vault: Old Friends For Sale 1999 22 Rave un2 The Joy Fantastic 1999 23 The Rainbow Children 2001 24 One Nite Alone 2002 25 One Nite Alone...Live/It Ain’t Over 2002 (I see this as 1 album) 26 N.E.W.S. 2003 27 Musicology 2004 28 3121 2006 29 Planet Earth 2007 30 Indigo nights (LIVE) 2008 (Not Sure about this one, but I'll let it!)

I agree with above post about NPS, that one should go in the 'Prince' albums list.
sorry but I disagree with the comment about live albums - for many artists james brown,Johnny cash,Dylan,grateful dead have many live albums that 'count' towards their total of album releases. as prince is very selective about releasing live albums they must be considered important releases as they are so few and far between (not including the boots of course!). if he churned one out every month (which he could do) they would be less regarded as proper albums. | |

One review about LotusFlow3r noted that it's his 25th studio album and I do believe that's correct (the NPG releases and instrumental stuff are not counted):

Prince has soooo many releases!! Nice job everyone with the lists going on 
I see I am missing some, mostly from the NPGMC era  :
Goldnigga (1992) The exodus has begun (1995) Kamasutra (1995) Chaos and disorder (1996) Rave in2 the joy fantastic (2000) Xpectation (2003) The chocolate invasion (2004) The slaughterhouse (2004) | |

30 Crystal ball / The truth (4 CD set) (special container) 1997 38 One nite alone... 2002 39 One nite alone...live / One nite alone...the aftershow: It ain’t over (3 disc set) 2002 45 Musicology (promo) 2004 46 Musicology 2004 Why would you count Crystal Ball and Musicology as two separate releases just because of the packaging? That's being Prince trying to find creative ways to hedge the numbers . . . Again, I had this list put together of all the CD's I have. I just copy and pasted it. I didn't feel like going through them to take out doubles. BTW, "One nite alone..." and "One nite alone...live" are two different CD's.

That Wikipedia list is a bit inconsistent
I'd class them like this... (though I would say that it's a matter of opinion whether albums that clearly have a separate identity, but were only available packaged together should be counted separately or not) Studio albums 1 - For You (1978) 2 - Prince (1979) 3 - Dirty Mind (1980) 4 - Controversy (1981) 5 - 1999 (1982) 6 - Purple Rain (1984) 7 - Around The World In A Day (1985) 8 - Parade (1986) 9 - Sign O´ The Times (1987) 10 - Lovesexy (1988) 11 - Batman (1989) 12 - Graffiti Bridge (1990) 13 - Diamonds And Pearls (1991) 14 - (1992)
15 - Come (1994) 16 - “The Black Album” (1994) 17 - The Gold Experience (1995) 18 - Chaos And Disorder (1996) 19 - Emancipation (1996) 20 - Crystal Ball / The Truth (1998) 21 - The Vault...

As you can see, I can bet you big money Prince has never heard of or wants to hear of New Zealand. All the music that comes into our country is restricted by the one company SONYBMG which is generally a dinosaur which restricts flow and so we are fed a diet of gangsta rap and crappy techno Europop like Crazy Frog, as well as being forced to listen to our own lame offerings (Not anyone in NZ is a s corny as the guys from Flight of the Conchords, believe it or not we don't all act like Pee Wee Hermann or have aspergers syndrome. 1 For you 1978 (Released 1984 here) 2 Prince 1979 (Released 1980 here) 3 Dirty mind 1980 (1981) 4 Controversy 1981 (1981) 5 1999 1982 6 Purple rain 1984 7 Around the world in a day 1985 8 Parade 1986 9 Sign o’ the times 1987 10 Lovesexy 1988 11 Batman 1989 12 Graffiti bridge 1990 13 Diamonds and pearls 1991 14 Symbol 1992 15 Come 1994 16 The black album 1994 17 The Gold Experience 1995 18 Chaos and disorder 1996 19 Emancipation 1996 20 Crystal ball 1997 21 The Vault: Old Friends For Sale 1999 22 Rave un2 The Joy Fantastic 1999 23 The Rainbow Children 2001 24 One Nite Alone 2002 25 One Nite Alone...Live/It Ain’t Over 2002 (I see this as 1 album) 26 N.E.W.S. 2003 27 Musicology 2004 28 3121 2006 29 Planet Earth 2007 30 Indigo nights (LIVE) 2008 (Not Sure about this one, but I'll let it!) Lotusflow3r 2009 (Not released in New Zealand yet, unknown if it will be) MPLSound 2009 (I see this as a separate album), yeah but it ain't in SONYBMG controlled NZ yet!!!! THE CONTENTIOUS ONES... 2 The Hits / The B-Sides (COMPILATION PLUS NEW SONGS) 1993 4 Girl 6 (COMPILATION + NEW SONGS) 1996 6 New Power Soul (NPG) 1998 7 Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic (REMIX ALBUM) 2000 8 The Very Best of (COMPILATION) 2001 10 Ultimate (COMPILATION) 2006 All have been available in New Zealand and therefore count. So that's 30 albums (plus 6 contentious ones) And don't get me started on the Side Projects: The Time, Madhouse, The Family, Bria etc... 1) SONYBMC is NOT the only international record company in NZ - ridiculous statement 2)Crystal Ball was released in NZ?? When?.... 3)One Nite Alone was never released in NZ and was only ever available online... Just sayin'... | |
