I've just recently started to reacquaint myself with this record. I've largely ignored it all these years. I put my Japanese CD on to compare the fidelity to the US version a couple of months ago and I've kept it in regular rotation. It's got a dated sound, but still - a pretty damn good first record.

I've got this album just about three weeks ago and it's pretty good! music I really respect Prince's production work - for 18 year old boy it's great.

Yes.. I love this pure soul-funk prince album,

the a-capella intro is so beautiful...

All of this and more is 4 U
With love, sincerity and deepest care
My life with U, with U, I share


what a beautiful way to start his career.


Soft & Wet
Just As Long As We're Together
I'm Yours

these are the stand out trax,

but I love every track on this fine album heart

Roses Galore as far as I feel.

"For You," seems to penetrate a time boundary. When I first heard it after I had heard, "1979 Prince." I felt this album very magical. Alive...Living and breathing all of the time.

"For You," will be my favorite album of all time. It's sewn into my Soul. cool

If anything, this album is in my Top 5 of Prince albums.

And it took 30 years for Prince to realize Warner Bros occasionally lied. evillol

Prince stated most of the songs on the For You album are old..It might have been released in 1978 but was recorded years earlier.

Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.
