I hate to say I never got this. I was broke at the time and decided to pass.
It's on ebay for $6.00 us. Is it worth it?

6 plus shipping?

no.

i paid 2 for my copy, and the only songs on it i like are MPLS and clinton's hollwood

I think its worth it Mpls Hollywood and Lovesign are worth the price alone If eye love u 2night is a very good track also

Also Standing At The Altar is a TOP NOTCH pop track, it could have been a hit had it been released by someone big at the time.

I really like The Steeles and Mavis' tracks too

Look at it as a sampler of the NPG Records acts roster (or to be NPG Records acts/hold-overs from the demise of Paisley Park). It was released shortly before Come.

If you like Prince's funky side you will like this album. I LOVE some of the songs on it like MPLS...that song is so funky...I have been listing to it alot latley. For six bucks you can't really go wrong can you? Also I love Mayte's song on there....even my boyfriend was like "This song actually isn't that bad!" He said even tho she can't sing there is something really charming about her voice!

I don't know why I'm being cheap. I'll just take the plunge. I'm starting to fill out the DVD collection and this came up. The next one like this is the Girl 6 soundtrack.

Thanks All

I see that album in FYE everytime I go there but the album looks like it sucks so I'll pass on it

It's actually not a bad album, most of the tracks on it are written by Prince.
As MetroArea said, it's a sort of sampler album for artists on NPG Records.
The tracklisting is...

1. Minneapolis - MPLS
2. Hollywood - George Clinton
3. Love Sign - Nona Gaye &
4. If U 2night - Mayte
5. Color - The Steeles
6. 2gether - The NPG
7. Standing At The Altar - Margie Cox
8. You Will Be Moved - Mavis Staples
9. 17 - Madhouse
10. A Woman's Gotta Have It - Nona Gaye
11. Minneapolis Reprise - MPLS

These are the ones I really like
& make it worth having.
you should get it you cheap bastard!

& The best song on Girl 6 is She Spoke 2 Me which you
can also get the extended jazzy version on "Old Friends 4 Sale: The Vault"
Which you should also get if u can find it cheap
Get it all Rev!

It's good. As a compilation of different artists, it's much better than Graffiti Bridge - partly because there's no pretentious over-riding "theme" hovering over the album.

Worth getting just for 'Love Sign', IMO. Not the best track he's ever recorded but, hey, I like it.

I was dissapointed at first when i bought it but it actually grew on me.

Standing at the Altar and Hollywood are great tunes and i also think most of the other songs do have standout moments.
