Is the "94 East" album any good ?

So I just ordered "94 east symbolic beginnings "from Amazon .I was wondering if its any good? I only know of one song and that's "just another sucker".how many of the songs have Prince's involvement?

I had to have it to complete my prince collection .so even if it does suck I'll have cuz of prince's involvement.I know it's pretty important becuz the recordings were made before Prince's debut album "For U"

I like one song.

Just Another Sucker (ok.... the title is by memory, too bored to look it up).

The rest on the album is a waste of time, IMHO... wink

^ agree with thedance. It's not a bad set, but Just Another Sucker is really the only standout, it's very similar in style to upbeat tracks on For You or something like Make It Through The Storm.

Pepe Willie's singing is underrated..i dig his smooth baritone...reminds me at times of Terry Callier

Meh, it's ok. If you purchase this you've basically decided to become a completist, which isn't a bad thing.

Prince plays on each and every song but Just Another Sucker's the only one he co-composed.

The tracks on the first CD have been considerably reworked (without Prince) at some point in 1985.

I never picked up any of the multiple releases
I had copy's at one time or another lurking
But I deleted them, I just never cared for them shrug
It's a pass for me razz
Cant believe my purple psychedelic pimp slap pimp2

And I descend from grace, In arms of undertow
I will take my place, In the great below
