Did anyone here buy For You in 1978?

What are your thoughts on the album purely as an album (ie. not the start of Prince's career)?

What does For You provide that the rest of his music doesn't?

If Prince re-recorded and re-released the album now, would it be called 4U?

i wuz thinkin about doin a thread like this later on today...

i wasn't around in '78, so no testimonial from me there...but i remember when i bought the album on cd sometime ago, upon hearin it in full i wuz just like, "sweet!"

i got hip and got a copy on vinyl a few months back... sounds so much betta on wax, imho...

they say music on wax is always better quality than Cd...I only agree if the vinyl ain't scratched...

This album was a great one considering it covered gospel,disco,funk,soul, and a lil bita rock...I don't know if this would need to be re-recorded cuz it seemed pretty pure...the raw stuff came afterwords...

I got 3 copys on wax...2 are scratched a lil ...but the 3rd is sealed and unopened and I think I will keep it that way for a while! I'm a DJ and the worst thing is to be spinnin the funk and suddenly the music turns itself into repetitive techno that you never intended on...the crowd will look atcha funny!
