My friend Travis bought this for me in about 1983 or 1984. He had no clue who Prince was, just that I liked him. (Actually he didn't even know about MJ until he came to my house and I apparently said something like "He's only my favorite artist ever!" He was a country boy whose grandpa told him of the evils of rock'n'roll. haha

I recently picked up the LP for $15....it had the poster in it, mint condition. Well worth the cost just to have it on a collector level.

Love this album..How can you say it's underrated and overlooked here and judging from your user name your still pretty much a NEW orger? This album is definately not underrated here, it gets a lot of love. Its inn my top..

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

In fairness, I think they meant that when people look over Prince's catalog, it gets lost in the mix. People know 1999, PR, SOTT, Black Album.....stuff like that, but critics rarely mention Controversy as a "must have" album; not nearly as much as they'd list Purple Rain or SOTT.

I've seen lists sometimes on here were Controversy was a must have album... They said overlooked and underrated here on the ORG.

right = correctly.

The english we speak in my country is a little different from US english.

Anyways, my point was it is "Controversy", not " Controvesary"

I have never listened to the "Controvesary" album, but Controversy by Prince is a firm favourite (British English), or favorite (American English)


cool
