#Review.
* I Am You (1977)
Mesmerizing that even outtakes from 'For You' are better than most tracks on his debut album. Should have been released as his first single. And do I hear the 'Glamorous Life' at the end?
* Tick, Tick, Bang (1981)
I like this one much better than the 'Graffiti Bridge' version. It's raw with a punk vibe. Although I don't think #punk folks can handle the falsetto 🤗

* Heaven (1985)
This one is superb. You really need to listen to this one via your headphones. Because somehow via speakers it doesn't sound well, but that can also be my cheap computer speakers. Although Prince would have made sure that it sounded good on every device!
* I Wonder (1989)
For me, probably the best song of the album. It sounds a little bit like '7', but better, so I don't understand that Prince didn't release this one ('7' was recorded later).
* With This Tear (1991)
This one was already released and you can find my review here: https://todon.nl/@joenepraat/116443024558133982.
* Stone (1995)
Although this one sounds like 'Cream' (that came earlier), it's still top Prince quality. The only problem here is that when I listen to it via my (new/good) earbuds, I hear the snare drum to hard in my left ear. It's just to irritating for my autistic brain. Because the drums are by Kirk Johnson, I can't blame Prince for this. It's also just bad mixing.
* Calabama (2003)
Oh my! OK, maybe it sounds just a little bit to eager to be relevant again and probably to much like 'Me Myself and I' by De La Soul, it is still a funk banger! Oooh that baaass! (yes that's Prince)
* The Guilty Ones (2007)
In the same league as 'Fury' from the same era. Should have been given to the Foo Fighters. One problem though. This sounds great on my cheap computer speakers, but rubbish on my earbuds (only drums and bass sound good). Another case of bad mixing.
* Bestest Friend (2012)
Epic power ballad! Think 'Gold', 'Purple Rain'. Should have been released and should have be put on 'Art Official Age'. Maybe Prince was afraid to mimic it's old self to much, but at that time we would have give a damn.
* How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore (Live) (1982/2016)
Another proof that the Prince Estate should really release one of the 'Piano & A Microphone' Tour concerts. #Prince literally said that he wanted to do that. Probably his final wishes. 😢
