The Complete Guide to the Music of Prince

Anybody seen this book? Is it worth getting? I've got the one on Bowie and that's pretty neat...

It's cool yeah. Takes you from For You through to Come/Black Album (94) with little bios and track by track reviews by Geoff Brown.

It's more useful if your just discovering Prince's music though, otherwise it's just a curiousity.

I have a couple of versions of this book. One of them is packaged with an interview CD and is worth the money 4 this alone! It is from Detroit in 1985 on his birthday and it was a live radio broadcast.

here's a snippet form the CD...

Are you sure?

The complete guide is just the book and the Interview CD is with Mojo, I believe.

that's the one mojo!

I thought I was sure until U asked, then I ran upstairs 2 check it out! The book and CD package is by Jon Ewing, not Geoff Brown. I have Geoff's book though but that's not with a CD. I was sure it was the other way around as well!! Sorry 4 the false alarm!

Incidently I think this was a UK only release and it's published by Carlton. Catalogue number is SAM 7009
Title is Fully Illustrated Book and Interview Disc. The Unauthorised Edition.

I do have 2 different copies of this book though, each one with a different cover.


Again... sorry 4 the mix up! smile

Isn't the interview from '96? I haven't heard it for yrs but he is talking about Cherry Moon and was on the Parade tour.

The book was published in '96 and yes he was talking about UTCM and was on the Parade tour. The interview was conducted in 1985. Prince also predicts that Jerome will be the next big thing in Hollywood!


There was a whole series of books with Cd's published like this. I got the Prince and Eric Clapton ones
