My fellow habitants of The Org land:
I´m trying to make a 2 cd compilation of eric leeds best moments for a friend in order to open his eyes about this great sax player, the problem is I cannot make my mid about wich tracks I should put on it. Thats why I ask your help, in the first cd I think I would put all songs from his solo albums and work outside Prince´s camp (for example Sheila E and the E Train) and on the second album Madhouse songs and colabos with Prince, anyway I´m open to suggestions and help of any kind. Remember,2 cds only,thanx,peace and Luv.

Definitely his first solo cd!!

Times squared is a cool cd.Like a good continuation of Madhouse.Just give thema copy of that and call it a day.

Crucial - sax solo version....some very Coltrane-esque moments!

Take it from a sax player!

'3' by Madhouse

If you can find "Nowhere to Be Found" from the Jacob Armen album do it

Definately Madhouse.

And his solo on Irresistable Bitch from the Prince & The Revolution Live concert.

And a couple of songs from Prince Live at the Aladdin. (U want me, 1+1+1 is 3)

Try Skeleton Key by Wendy and Lisa. He and Atlanta Bliss did a killer arrangement on that one.

The album Times Squared is great, if you take away the Prince penned title song, as it is too rigid Princey to fit the beautiful flow of the rest of the album.

Of his contributions to Prince's music, be sure to include Yes and Susannah's Pyjama's, which are basically Madhouse tracks.
Also Adore.

If you include Madhouse work, be sure to include Three and Six and a 1/2, the b-side to Six. That song is awfully good. I love me some remastered Six and a 1/2.

Scandalous the maxi single - The Rapture - Sax Solo starts @ 3:09 after the cool Prince Guitar Solo
I Hate You the maxi single - Quiet Night Mix by Eric Leeds Nice Sax & Flute - Sax Solo starts @ 2:16

Ooh, U know the Kama Sutra, I could re-write it
With half as many words
Eric, come blow your horn
(We can funk)
