Since it is getting a lot of votes already, I too will add my vote to cast off D&P and get it out of the way.
"Did u love somebody
But got no love in return?
Did u understand the real meaning of love?
That it just is and never yearns"

whofarted What's with you people voting off "Prince"!?!? That's a classic!

"I Wanna Be Your Lover"! "I Feel For You"! "Sexy Dancer", for god's sake!

And 'For You' is one of his greatest albums ever!!

disbelief

What's the bet it comes down to Purple Rain vs. Sign 'O' The Times?

The Truth. Prince tried to do an acoustic guitar album, but couldn't help layering a few cheesy sound effects and instruments on top, so that it neither has the simplicity of an acoustic set nor the production of a full album. A cast off cd at the end of Crystal Ball, even Prince can't have been that impressed with it.


Though despite all that, it does have a few cool tunes and some good ideas, but mostly a wasted opportunity.



NO, STOP! WAIT! PLEASE RECONSIDER. LET "THE TRUTH" STAY!


Well, as a matter of fact, Prince thought very highly of the album and so did EMI. The cd
was meant to be released in early 1997 but because the label folded during post promo
for Emancipation (round the time of the "Face Down" video release) the album was kept
on the shelve.

Promo copies of the album were sent to a number of critics long before the entire album
surfaced as a companion to "Crystal Ball".

As was the npgmc retail release of the "Truth/Don't Play Me" double a-side cd single in a
limited edition print.

He got a vegan award for "Animal Kingdom" (not that it matters lol).

And he seemed to touch on some very hard, personal subjects (we all know what) on
the album. The lyrics are more introverted and self-explorational than most of the
things he did before.

Obviously Prince thought to highly of it to just let it die like that and decided to give it
away with the "Crystal Ball" package. As a gift, but also as a means of trying to upstage
his own outtake set with a sparkling new set of semi-acoustic songs; something he had
never tried before on this scale.

So NO, The Truth should NOT be voted off!!!!!
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
