    • Yes indeed nice review and thoughts ;), 1 tiny suggestion i would have preferred a closer to the released Margie Cox Standing at the Altar version aswell, lets hope the new PR will have all those missing alternate/uncut/full versions, Make Love not War!

  • A hidden album between Purple Rain and Sign O’ The Times would be Roadhouse Garden. I’d be interested in your compilation for this collection.

    Peace,

  • Your opening statement discredits the rest of your article. D&P is without contest a much stronger opus than Lovesexy, judging by the international acclaim the album received but also by how stratospheric the tour was in terms of sales.
    The band was also the best he ever had and you can hear the much elevated musicianship qualities throughout the album as well as the live shows.
    It’s your site and as such you can write whatever you want but don’t expect us to rate your content when it’s filled with so much emotional bias which unfairly trashes an era that is arguably one of Prince’s best and one that saved his career.

    • Hi AJ, a couple of things. We did not ask you to rate our content. Also, this article (and his sincere opinion) has been written by guest author Nickfunk. You’re free to disagree of course. Furthermore, most of the content on Housequake.com has been contributed by Prince fans. So if you have an interesting piece written yourself, feel free to send us an email: . Thanks!

  • I like the hidden album idea but 78 minutes is quite long and would clock it more classic within the 40-44 range of the 1 vinyl medium. And save some songs for single b-sides. Work that fat would fit the b-side mould.
