5. 1999
6. Parade

Oh it was released in the 80's alright, I'm still one that thinks Prince let some copies out to get it to the underground, even back then music reviews had copies and ranking this album with high regards and 5 stars

I say its right to judge it as an 80's album because that's the era/time/people it was written/recorded around.

If it was officially released in 88 where would U place it?

Now where I come from
We don't let society tell us how it's supposed 2 be
