Anybody see this in a bookstore in the states yet?

I must say I am disapppointed by the content of this magazine for a number of reasons.

.

I have a few of the Uncut Ultimate Music Guides on a number of different artists so therefore have been waiting expectedly every month for them to feature Prince.

.

I've always enjoyed the ones on other artists and they have certainly took me back to revisit their music.

.

Maybe it is because I have a more in depth knowldege of Prince then I do other artists but I found so many basic mistakes in this publication, as well as many ommisions.

.

For example how can you do a bio of his albums without mentioning Newpowersoul, Exodus or 2gether? I know these are technically NPG albums but stil.......

.

And why it continues to title "Family Name" as "Family Way" is particularly annoying. No review of Purple Rain Deluxe either......

.

Maybe my expectations were too high.............

I would have been pissed too, had I read it. You can expect similar mistakes in every issue: only, not being a hardcore fan of those artists, you don't know it. However I guess it's tough to be a journalist: you're supposed to write a large amount of prose about a large amount of topics and, obviously, you can't be a specialist in each and every one of them.

.

On the other hand, I've found a basic mistake in your post: there's no album titled 2gether, I assume you mean Gold Nigga

.

I'd add that they probably wanted to limit themselves to the albums credited to Prince (or ) in order to keep their issue focused. Honestly, if you feel the NPG albums are necessary additions to his canon -and I agree-, then so are all of the other side projects. They're all Prince albums in every regard but official credit, no more no less than the NPG ones.
