Best Prince Biographies and/or related ones

I have only read 2 Prince biographies - Slave to the Rhythm and another (can't recall the title).

Can you list the most insightful and interesting ones?

I hope there available in Ausland!

Thanks guys.

DMSR by Per Nilsen
(It only goes upto 1987, but is the best biography, by one of the main guys at Uptown).

Possessed by Alex Hahn
(This follows Prince's career upto more recent years. A lot of fans find fault with it because the author tends to dwell on more salacious/tabloid details at times, but Hahn was the lawyer for Uptown during their legal battle with Prince and he had access to their research, so I would say it is a solid read).


The Vault
(This is not a biography, this is a reference manual, with a detailed chronology of Prince's career, often day-to-day, with further discographies, reviews, detailed out-take information, tour itineries etc, etc).
