Benoît Clerc's 'All The Songs' book

Finally getting around to ordering Duane Tudahl's books (I really hope they look good on the shelf together) and am wondering if I should throw 'All the Songs' in the cart as well. I know nothing about it -- can someone tell me if this is a credible work, or direct me to the thread where this was discussed? I'd search myself, but the Org search function seems to be turned off..

Well, they do, but surely it's the content that matters, which is superb by the way.

I bought the books. It's very comprehensive. I like it. It's not without mistakes, but what source is? Even PrinceVault and Tudahls's books have some mistakes in them.

I started a thread on it back in November. See here:

Thanks, lurker. That's exactly what I was looking for.

It's great and even had some tidbits i'd never heard before. Well-sourced; I didn't know Prince had actually talked that much about individual songs. Good to have it all in one spot. Great pictures too.

Put off buying due to price. In the end temptation grew too much and used birthday money to buy it. Wasn’t sure what to expect. It is huge and weighs a ton! Only just started reading but so far very happy. Great pictures throughout and good level of detail. Not sure a) whether this will fit on the shelf and b) if the shelf will collapse with the weight of it! 🤣

I bought it as an eBook - This makes it light and searchable

Have the ebook version too, but really enjoying reading the weighty tome in hardback lol
