1988 Good Question self titled album


That doesn't have any Prince involvement, it's just on Paisley Park records.

Yes but then u'd have 2 buy any Ryuichi Sakamoto, Natural Selection or David Sylvian album featuring Ingrid & any album featuring a Prince collaborator. That would make a looooong list of CD's.

The Truth was actually completed around the time Emancipation came out in 1996. It was announced on his website at the time as a possible future release and that he'd just complete the last track for it.


The reason i've listed Crystal Ball 1st was that "2morrow" is supposed 2 have been the 1st son recorded after the release of Emancipation but u might b right. It's difficult 2 determine the recording order of such albums that have been recorded &/or completed around the same time. Same problem with Purple Rain/Ice Cream Castles/Apollonia 6/The Glamorous Life or Come/The Gold Experience/Goldnigga/Chils Of The Sun or Newpower Soul/Come 2 My house/GCS 2000 & some other sessions... If only The new Vault book was released i could buy it & have this kind of info...


I don't think 2morrow was recorded after Emancipation was released. As I remember it, it was written about the girl in the Love 4 One Another movie, which aired in early 1996, many months before the album came out. I think it's just another Emancipation-era outtake.

Actually, I was just reading about that today. I'm pretty sure it was recorded in November of '96.

yeah i think benny medina had something 2 do with that. wasn't paisley also being linked 2 reprise records as well?

whether good question was signed with prince's permission or not, according 2 the liner notes, they thank him 4 taking the brothers ice fishing eek

Yeah, Prince himself said it was the 1st post-Emancipation release recorded song. But it indeed refers 2 events dating back 2 the Lov4oneanotherexperience era, as said in the CB booklet.

No, Paisley wasn't linked 2 Reprise in any way. Only Pandemonium was a Paisley Park/Reprise release & i never understood why exept maybe if we refer 2 the Wikipedia article about Reprise which says "Warner Bros. has often treated Reprise as a bit of a secondary parent label, as many of its subsidiary labels, such as Straight and Kinetic, have had their records released in conjunction with Reprise."

No i think it was more a Ruffallo/Cavallo/Fargnoli thing 2 manage Paisley since Prince wasn't that much interested in it anyway. I ain't sure it was Good Question which was signed without Prince being asked, it could as well been Three O'Clock or Tony LeMans & i don't think Prince reaaly cared anyway. I've just read it somewhere, most likely in Per Nielsen's DMSR book.

When u think of it, Paisley Park realy was a weird label. Lotsa non-Prince/side-project released on it were ok, & even sometimes excellent, but i don't know, i would have expected more from a label owned by Prince than what was released.

Do u also remember this very, very rare album released by Paisley Park just b4 it was closed, in late 1993? I can't even remember the name of the guy but he was a very young drummer who had impressed Prince so much that he signed him. The album was released in a very confidential way (i was a Prince fan in 1993, closely following Prince's work & i only heard of this album years after) & it was printed at such a small scale that it's almost impossible 2 find (it never made it 2 Europe, 4 exemple.) I've dowloaded it on Napster back in the days & it sucked, it was an instrumental mix of poorly inspired jazz & even poorlier inspired metal, all based on the drums playing. I never knew who wrote & produced this album (though i know Prince had nothing 2 do with it) & i can't even remember the drummer's name. Can somebody help?

it could have been more than just a vanity label interesting that in 1989 was supposed 2 have been the year that prince took off and focused on the label. but then came batman ...

I think he's a very very very good drummer, particularly since he was 12. It's the musical taste of the album that was a problem. his site's bio says his father was the producer of the album, that must b it.

When u come 2 think of it Eric Leeds, Cat Dyson, Sheila E., Eddy M. or Rhonda Smith are extraordinary musicians but their solo albums (the ones without prince, that is) r nice cool funk but definitly lack the originality & whatever makes them going 2 their edge when working with Prince.

Nope & i've wanted 2 4 a while, since i like "Things Left Unsaid": not an un4getable record but i like it. Does "Now & again" sound like "Things Left Unsaid"?

well, i've been collecting Prince songs & albums since 1990 so i guess it helps. Lotsa 80's & early 90's stuff could b found in record stores back then & i spend hours looking 4 'em whenever i crossed a record store. Then p2p's came & i finished getting what i couldn't find in record stores, 1st on Napster, then on Audiogalaxy, then on Kazaa & later on Emule & Soulseek. Now i own almost everything officially released on record by Prince including all his compositions 4 other artists. I still have 2 find maybe 20 or so rare remixes of such songs given 2 other artists & that goddamn vinyl version of "Still Waiting" (i think it's "Still Waiting", i'd have 2 verify this) that was edited on the CD version of the album 4 some unundstandable reason. Now i intend 2 get all TV & radio appearences.

i would say it closely resembles how times squared sounded.
