This is a tough one,but I gotta go with Andre's album.The song "Book Of Love" is my favorite,and there is a superb slow jam "Pretty Wild Girl",not to mention the first single "Dance Electric",one of the best songs that Prince gave to somebody else.

I'd probably go with A.C. as well. I loved that "Lipstick Lover," "Satisfaction," and "Sweet Sensuality" all led into each other on Side 2. Those were my favorites (especially the 12" versions), not to mention "The Dance Electric" with its b-side "Red Light." On Jesse's album, I liked all the songs well enough, with "She's a Doll" being my favorite and the b-side "Free World" (I used to play that 45 to death).

1985's the summer. My two best musical purchases were "Around The World In A Day" and "Jesse Johnson's Revue". HOWEVER, I do remember "The Dance Electric", and I have the 12" of that in my crates as well.. Gotta go w/Jesse on this one!!
Man, I wore that album OUT!!!! Still use it to this day, more so than "Dance Electric". Still think it would be cool to hear these two do something together!!

Jesse, there's no contest here for me. But the Dance Electric is my JAM, Wendy and Lisa's vocals are to die for.

Hands down it was Jesse's. Too much good shit off that album.

Andre's album has better material, the production was better,...it's just a better album.

I recall Jesse's album setting some kind of record for a debut album or something like that. I know it was a bigger hit than anything AC did. Be YOur Man, I Want My Girl, and Can You Help Me simply squash everything on AC EXCEPT dANCE eLECTRIC.
And since when is there a CD os AC????? That album wasnt released on CD.

Thats really a tough one. I love jesse to death, but AC is tight as hell. The revue by a nose
