      Oh my word! The funk on this record is so damn dirty it'll give you stank face from the first track that will last the rest of the day and into tomorrow. There's no wiping the funk off this t! It's NASTY! Best album I've listened to in 2022. Only sad that I only heard it now.

        Super rare 1985 Paisley Park/Warner Brothers pressing is a side project by Prince.

          One of Prince's best albums, yet released under "The Family". This is just like the first few Time albums. Pretty much Prince and the lead vocalists (and Erick Leeds), and he likely wrote every song.
          I wish the full/uncut version of "Yes" were available on this or a 12" single.

            I hope the Estate releases some of these albums on CD soon.
