"Dionne" is so brilliant and under appreciated.

Yep love Dionne

Still one of my favorite Prince albums.

Plus, I am one of the rare people that really like "Animal Kingdom". Hahaha

The Truth and ONA piano have always been in my top 10 Prince albums, since I ordered them from Mpls directly. I have the impression that not many Prince fans, even folks here, have fully appreciated these cds when they came out... Maybe that changes now?

Those two albums have always been on my top 10 as well. They it well together. I love it when he made an album as cohesive as these.

I rediscovered it the other day, and thought what a wonderful album it is, especially the (very moving) Don't Play me, the Truth (a good one if you are very angry or sad), and Dionne (sweet sound)... It is now one of my favourite albums.

Always loved The Truth album from day one, still waiting to purchase a genuine copy of the ONA Piano album.

The Truth should have been realeased on its own instead of wasted on Crystal Ball.

From what I recall (and reading in various books etc) THAT was the original intent. The Truth was going to be Prince's second album released through EMI. However, EMI went down and had to be rescued. As a result all promotion of Emancipation stopped and The Truth couldn't be released as EMI needed to restructure.

ONA Piano is still a bit difficult for me to listen to at the moment as it is very melancholic, but still sweet and very beautiful. I always wondered why the other One Night Alone...Live! has got that title though (when he is not alone but in concert).

Another one here!

I've gone veggie since he died. I had an epiphany of sorts. Wanted to make a positive change in my life i suppose.

I listened to this recently, love it

Comeback and Welcome to The Dawn are great aswell Dionne.

It is just one of Prince's masterpieces that the world slept on.

Yes i can only play upbeat songs of his at the moment. The piano interlude part he was alone just him and his piano. Don't know why both albums had the same name.

Gonna listen to it today,hopefully I can get thru it.

They should package the acoustic guitar and piano albums for release...beautiful stuff.

Great idea, absolutely. Re-release these as a bundle. "Prince (almost) unplugged"

Yes, great idea...but I´m actually very concerned about re-releases of his post WB output. Even the WB album The Gold Experience is out of print and at this point I have no idea who gets the rights to his post WB albums and internet only independent releases. And then you´d still need someone who is familiar with Prince´s work and what to release, and how, and what format.

I don´t care about his will or lack thereof but I am worried about who is going to be in charge of all his music.

It´s ironic that the music of the most prolific musician ever is in such danger of being unavailable to future generations.

Sure, we probably don´t have to worry about his WB catalog but he deserves a proper preservation and archiving of his whole catalog.
