I must say I am disapppointed by the content of this magazine for a number of reasons.

.

I have a few of the Uncut Ultimate Music Guides on a number of different artists so therefore have been waiting expectedly every month for them to feature Prince.

.

I've always enjoyed the ones on other artists and they have certainly took me back to revisit their music.

.

Maybe it is because I have a more in depth knowldege of Prince then I do other artists but I found so many basic mistakes in this publication, as well as many ommisions.

.

For example how can you do a bio of his albums without mentioning Newpowersoul, Exodus or 2gether? I know these are technically NPG albums but stil.......

.

And why it continues to title "Family Name" as "Family Way" is particularly annoying. No review of Purple Rain Deluxe either......

.

Maybe my expectations were too high.............

I would have been pissed too, had I read it. You can expect similar mistakes in every issue: only, not being a hardcore fan of those artists, you don't know it. However I guess it's tough to be a journalist: you're supposed to write a large amount of prose about a large amount of topics and, obviously, you can't be a specialist in each and every one of them.

.

On the other hand, I've found a basic mistake in your post: there's no album titled 2gether, I assume you mean Gold Nigga lol

.

I'd add that they probably wanted to limit themselves to the albums credited to Prince (or prince ) in order to keep their issue focused. Honestly, if you feel the NPG albums are necessary additions to his canon -and I agree-, then so are all of the other side projects. They're all Prince albums in every regard but official credit, no more no less than the NPG ones.

There's a section at the end of the magazine that focuses on music he made for other people like The Time, Sheila É, The Bangles etc. You'd think that they might mention the NPG albums there but they don't. They even mention the Kenny Rogers song but the NPG stuff is ignored entirely.
