I don't Not to be an album hater but I've always hated it except When 2 R in Love & Alphabet St. Since I hate the album, I never here those two except When 2-I listen to the Black album 4 that one

wow

question though
you don't even like
the opener "Eye No"?

I'm like the opposite of you
cuz rarely do I play The Black Album
there was a timeframe sometime last year
when I was heavy into that album
bu I'll only hear it every once in a while now

thanx for responding
I adore "W2RIL" and of course
"Alphabet St." is the REASON WHY
for this album (for me anyway)

the 12 inch for "Glam Slam"
was THEEEE first Prince record
my mother willingly let me own
it was my bday and her then boyfriend
bought it for me, I had originally
asked him for Janet Jackson's Control album
which was still popular at the time

so I got Control & Glam Slam
I was so happy

Except for that cover and those 2 songs-I really hate it Don't kill me, but it was just something about that continuous format that initially turned me off and that feeling stuck with me What a terrific memory of your birthday JJ's Control was the shiznit back in the day-I went to the wrecka stow and bought that one myself

Never dug the album except for a few cuts; Alphabet St., When Two Are in Love, Anna Stesia. IMHO Black Album is much more dope.

yeah... I mean I had heard "Glam Slam"
but was not pressed to get the record
it was a total surprise

I was into learning the chair stunt
from the Pleasure Principle video at that time
"the Prince thing" had kinda sorta died down
after the Purple Rain era...
when my sister moved out


maybe we should listen to lovesexy naked cause prince is naked on the cover
I mean I was familiar with his songs & videos
but I was not allowed to play it in the house

I can still remember the look
on my mama's face when she
saw there was a Prince record
for my gift too

thank GAWD he didn't attempt
to buy me the Lovesexy album
she probably woulda passed out
from one glance at that album cover

thanx Efan (for responding)

i put the cassette in my car and roll
start to end, front to back
begin again

It depends on if I'm in the mood for a particular song

But I only have it as a continuous track.
Thanks to my iPOD, though I can fast-forward to the song I want to hear if I so choose, but it takes quite a bit of guesswork I only know where Anna Stesia begins, which is a little past the 16 min mark

A lot of the time, though, I'll listen to it from start to finish

Cuz it truly is a masterpiece. Why not listen to it all the way through? Even though I'm not crazy about Dance On, I still listen to it

do you listen to the original
(an albumwrap) start to finish?
or do you own a multi track version
and play the ones you want to hear?

me, myself, it could go either way
because Lovesexy is such a dope album
I can listen to it all the way through
but I'm not always in the mood

sometimes I wanna go straight to "Dance On"
or "Glam Slam".. etc...
so with that being said, I believe I prefer
to just listen to the vinyl
that way I can stick the needle
where it needs to go

I asked this question
out of curiosity
to see how the majority
of us handle the Lovesexy project
