why isnt this album talked about or ever mentioned on the org? this was princes first album with his first single "Soft&Wet" too be honest i think it contains some of his best love songs ever

and forgive my ignorance but was there ever a tour for this album? or did prince ever perform some of these songs off of this album live in any of his live performances???

but yeah lets talk about does any body else like this album?? or im i alone on this one?

I've just recently started to reacquaint myself with this record. I've largely ignored it all these years. I put my Japanese CD on to compare the fidelity to the US version a couple of months ago and I've kept it in regular rotation. It's got a dated sound, but still - a pretty damn good first record.

I've got this album just about three weeks ago and it's pretty good! I really respect Prince's production work - for 18 year old boy it's great.

Yes.. I love this pure soul-funk prince album,

the a-capella intro is so beautiful...

All of this and more is 4 U
With love, sincerity and deepest care
My life with U, with U, I share

what a beautiful way to start his career.


Soft & Wet
Just As Long As We're Together
I'm Yours

these are the stand out trax,

but I love every track on this fine album

Roses Galore as far as I feel.

"For You," seems to penetrate a time boundary. When I first heard it after I had heard, "1979 Prince." I felt this album very magical. Alive...Living and breathing all of the time.

"For You," will be my favorite album of all time. It's sewn into my Soul.

Nice.

Prince was 19 years old... when "For You" was released: 7 April 1978

ok , you are correct

but it's true that his record company advertized the album in local newspapers saying he was 18

If anything, this album is in my Top 5 of Prince albums.

And it took 30 years for Prince to realize Warner Bros occasionally lied.

Such a good album! "In Love" and "Crazy You" are my favorites.

He played it at the Rev reunion concert

Prince stated most of the songs on the For You album are old..It might have been released in 1978 but was recorded years earlier.

For You is one of my favorite ablums by Prince btw..
