The Black Album is the easiest thing in the world to get. Impress me by saying that you have the album he did with Kim Basinger!!! ;) I gave mine away to someone who is a bigger fan than I... of P, not Kim. They reckoned it was a fake, I am not so sure! Or, have you ever heard the Carmen Electra album on Paisley Park. He, he, he! It was actually OK! I used to write for a Prince fanzine and the fans' pick was always Sign Of The Times - or SOTT - as we called it. He did a bangin' 'techno' song in Melb with Diamond & Pearl on vox circa 92 that I have somewhere too. Also anything he did with Madhouse is a must-get. All of Sheila E's albums... Vanity 6 album. My personal fave P albums: SOTT Love Sexy 1999
Associate albums like Ingrid Chavez's neo-soul album on Paisley Park (she has since married Japan's David Sylvian, strange!) are always awesome too. I used to buy ANY album with a P song. I wish he would produce and write for some of the new artists today. His ballads were always the best! A lot of today's producers can't write decent ballads. This is because they create beats, come up with grooves, but a ballad needs a strong melody and you can't lift a sample for that. If you ask anyone their fave P album it's like star signs too. ;) You can tell a lot about someone from their fave Prince LP. FYI I once asked D May his and it is 1999, and Green Velvet's is Purple Rain. If you love the Parade album check out Common's latest, Electric Circus. It has the same psychedelic vibe! I LOVE it!!!
