If Prince had started his career BEFORE 1978...(circa 1976 or 77)

yep, it's a "what if" thread, lots of folks here hate'em, but what the hell, I think the question is good...

...what would have happened? what do U think? would have he released a pure disco album? something punkish/new wavish? or something juvenile/teenage-oriented?

For You was disco though. As Long as We are Together is straight disco song without violins

The majority of "For You" materials were recorded between 76/77, though. Ain't they?

He was writing/recording those years so we know what it would sound like.

It would have just meant another album or two of doe-eyed, drippy teenage love naivete and a few more songs with hardcore disco-trappings before punk and new-wave came along to kick his creative spark into high gear.
