NPS is a Prince album - I don't care what name is printed on the cover. It's Prince, every bit as much as 3121 or Purple Rain or anything else.

The way my list was compiled was from a post by Boris in 2004 and then adding albums from the PrinceVault discography. I credited the albums as they were on that site. I follow and subscribe to both Boris' and the folks over at PrinceVault's logic, as I know quite a bit of thought is always put into their categorization of Prince's discography. I also added my two cents to the equation.

Sure, the Madhouse albums could be considered Prince LPs, but of course they are pseudonym releases, as are the NPG titles.

Should "Best Of" albums be considered? Certainly they should be listed for what they are.

I'm on the fence about inclusion of The Undertaker, as it was never released. The copies floating around are officially pressed CDs, but were coated in an attempt to destroy them. Luckily some enterprising collectors found a way to clean the shellac off of a few copies. It's basically the same reason that there is no 1987 listing of The Black Album.

I guess there's no absolute rational for a discography anyway so it's up to each of us to decide what's in it and what's not. I like the way Bernie Worrell handles his own discography: as long as he's on every track of an album he considers it HIS album no matter who it was credited to and even if he was only a sideman http://www.bernieworrell....iscography

Just 4 the record, i've included The B-Sides and Ultimate (by this i mean CD 2) because they're compilation of non-album stuff. And The Undertaker i'm listing here is not the unreleased CD but the released (and slightly different) video version.

Using the Worrell logic, you could add several albums to Prince's catalog count. What about the first two Time albums?

I see, I was checking out the squirlgrease list. Thanks.

I don't have an exact count but Billy Childish, solo and as a member of various groups in which he was the primary creative force, has released a ton of albums, certainly more than Prince.

And he is also an incredibly prolific painter and poet too.

Musically and visually he is not my thing at all, but i greatly admire his artistic drive.
