let's be exact.

The Revolution members (Wendy Melvoin, Matt Fink, Lisa Coleman, Brown Mark, Bobby Z.) appear on four tracks: "I Would Die 4 U", "Baby, I'm a Star", "Purple Rain", and "Let's Go Crazy". In addition, Coleman and Melvoin play and sing on "Computer Blue". The remaining four tracks are essentially solo performances by Prince. Apollonia sings with him on "Take Me With U". Three of the tracks include a string section arranged by Coleman and Prince, and conducted by Coleman and Melvoin: "Take Me With U", "Baby, I'm a Star", and "Purple Rain". The string players are Novi Novog (violin and viola), David Coleman (cello), and Suzi Katayama (cello). "Computer Blue" features songwriting input by Fink, Coleman and Melvoin. Fink came up with a keyboard bass line for the song. Prince's father was also credited for the "Father's Song" part of the track. The song had been worked up during rehearsals on the 1983 leg of the 1999 tour.

The credit's in the albums/Cd's are not correct?

Not answering the question i know, but 'Prince And The Revolution' were badass.
I know the band expanded and their was conflict, but by 1986, they were arguably as good as anything that followed.
