In general, does Prince use his band at the time on all his studio albums or is it mostly just him?

Don't believe the credits!!!

I sometimes get the feeling he does 90% of his studio tracks on his own. Think 'Batman', 'Graffiti Bridge', 'SOTT', 'Rave' EVEN 'Purple Rain'!. Apart from horns, I think his bandmembers input on his studio recordings is quite limited, just a feeling i get for some strange reason.

i'm typing this as i listen to the 'Holy River' and thinking alright P's playing guitar but WHO is playing those drums and that Tambourine? confuse

Or am i way off with this? lol

blunt Edit! lol

You are quite right, the vast majority of Prince's output is all him. But he does go through
phases. Some eras are more band orientated than others.

I knew i could count on you Sir Fishpaw! big grin

That just really makes him all the more amazing to me (given his output)
