YES: Prince is on the cover, and he is singing all the songs.

Newpower Soul IS a Prince album..... imho...

Every last one...and that makes up about 1/8 of my collection

i even have phase 2, and all of the above.

All of them

Several on multiple formats, but I'm not holding my breath on ever owning TRC on vinyl...

All of 'em and then some!

All of them on CD (and the 1980-1988 era also on vinyl).

Also some of them CDs double or more: if I remember them all the 2 CD versions of "Lovesexy" (not tracked and tracked), 2 "Batman" CDs (normal and "tin"), 2 Symbol CDs (uncensored and censored), 2 Crystal Ball Box Sets (1-800-New-Funk 5CD and normal case retail 4CD) and 2 "The Chocolate Invasion" CDs (first edition and second edition).

The only P CD missing from my collection, believe it or not, is "The Very Best Of Prince".
I never had any reason to buy it. Anyway I will do it, sooner or later.

Most of them and then some in various formats.

I am an old school fan so I treasure my vinyl the most that I bought in a real wreckastow usually the first week of release.

Why 39? - there are more than that!

.

Of course - all of them and all LPs, 7inches, 12inch, PDs, CDs etc.

.

All and up to SOTT all on vinyl as well.

All of them & will continue to purchase any official releases.

I have almost all either via download or actual cds. I do not have Rave in2 though. Missed that one.

I wonder how many of his albums will be re-released via legitimate sources because on Ebay and Amazon they want crazy prices for the lesser known ones.

I have the Time Magazine issue right next to me. Looking at it now. Yeah, I have everything on this list and a bunch of stuff that isn't.

They didn't include Rave In2 and a few others.

So I guess I can score in at 44/39 as well like IstenSzek said

Their list is a bit odd.

It doesn't really make sense to include albums that weren't available on CD, like Slaughterhouse and Chocolate Invasion but then not include stuff that was available on CD like Goldnigga, Exodus, etc. 1800NEWFUNK wasn't included, either.

Those weren't released as Prince albums. New Power Soul was also officially an NPG album, but it had Prince on lead vocals, so I can see how people would regard that as a Prince album.

There are songs on Gold Nigga & Exodus in which Prince sings lead. Prince wrote most if not all the material. They are performed by the same people (including Prince) as the surrounding Prince albums.... I don't care how anyone else classifies them, they are Prince albums.

All of them +

thetimefan said:

Did any of the NPG Music Club albums outside if One More Alone live get a wreckastow release?.

.

All these were available in record stores:

.

- "Crystal Ball / The Truth"

- "New Power Soul"

- "Rainbow Children"

- "N.E.W.S"

- "3121"

.

.

And then The NPG Club closed, no?

My CDs collection:

33 Studio Albums

+

2 Greatest Hits (Ultimate + Hits/B-Sides)

+

5 DVDs (Purple Rain, Graffiti Bridge, Under The Cherry Moon, Sign O The Times, Rave).

Pretty much the most essential ones. I started collecting 2 years ago.

I am missing a few albums like NEWS, Newpower Soul and ONA.

I would consider it to be a Prince album too. Prince wrote all the songs, sang on all the songs and probably plays most instruments on all the songs. It would be like saying that Black Messiah is not a D'Angelo album and crediting it to The Vanguard.

Black Messiah is credited to D'Angelo and The Vanguard on the album cover. Newpower Soul is only credited to The New Power Generation on the cover. So they are not the same.

All of them - though I do not have physical copies of Goldnigga and Kamasutra.

I consider the NPG and Madhouse albums--where Prince writes and performs almost everything, but his name is not in the artist credit--to be Prince projects as opposed to official albums.
