I'm with you DavidEye, I just don't GET it, Apart from Rasberyy Beret beiong the perefct pop song, the rest of the album just ain't that great , people don't get carried away with the concept album , individually the sonds are pretty bad, can you imagine any of those songs on Crystal ball II if he never released them, people would be saying how they crap they are....

Also - Parade is probably in my top 5 WORST P Albums,
along with For you and New Power Soul, ATWIAD & umm I don't know right now..... the HITS/b-sides !!

Wot da fuck Dave? We in agreement. I just hear the chesse goin' POP! Kinda like Prince was saying "Watch me do a Beatlesesque psychedelica trip!". I don't know if he was quite ready to do SOTT cuz we know PARADE & BLACK ALBUM had to go down and ya can't get there from PURPLE RAIN.

"POP LIFE" is such a dead-on give away ain't it?

I think any album from Dirty Mind to LoveSexy is brilliant in it's own way.

okay Batman is also brilliant, but not as much as the others. 80's Prince albums all have a lot of excellence.

90's albums too, but that's a different story.

it is deep deep deep.

i just recently purchased a vinyl on ebay for $1. shocking, n'est-ce pas?

i'm looking for a CD. they seem to go so high.
