Minneapolis Genius

I bought this album called 94 East, The Minneapolis Genius sessions starring Prince, and it turns out its full of unexceptional disco music, instrumentals, and one song called Just another sucker where hes actually singing I think. I have read about it apparently with Pepe Willie, 94 East, and Andre. But I think for $1.97 NZ its shit, does anyone else have it and what do they think. 69

"Symbolic Beginning" is the genuine article. The parts played by Prince were left intact for this release.

The songs on "Genius" had all been remixed, omitting a great deal of the original instrumentation that was present in the masters (in order to give them a more "contemporary feel") and have therefore been buggered to perdition.
