Reviews

One of the most underrated Prince records out there. The pressing is great, I have slight surface noise on two tracks only the rest is perfection. -
Edited one year agoBy this time of his life, "Prince" (as he reclaimed his rightful name), was going through a lot of changes...
He was studying the Bible with "Larry Graham" for some time (who is known to be of the "Jehovah Witness" faith)....And through those studies, "Prince" found himself at a crossroads....He made a lot a changes in his life, because he experience a lot of tragedies (losing his child, and his divorce from "Mayte")...
But the one thing that didn't change is his resolve to make Stunning Music....That's where "The Rainbow Children" comes into play...Initially, it was released by a small company called "Redline Entertainment", but you could still find it everywhere (I'm sure because it was "Prince")....
His personnel on here was small....You had newcomer "John Blackwell" (Drums) along with classic Saxophone and Flute player "Najee", with "Prince" doing the others instruments himself....
The "Title Track" ushers in where "Prince" was coming from Spiritually, that way there was no confusion...The music is loose but tight at the same time, with room to breath....
Other songs that help with that is "The Work Pt. 1" (talking about Field Service), "1+1+1 Is 3", the FANTASTIC and "FUNKY" "The Everlasting Now", and the terrific album closer "Last December"...
Not all the songs talk about the faith....
"Mellow" is labeled just as it sounds....
"Family Name" is straight "Funk" to your brain....
And "She Loves Me 4 Me" is a smooth Slow Jam, even though I feel like it's too short....
I bought this one on Vinyl and it sounds terrific...I do understand that some didn't agree with his choice of Faith (as I share the same Faith), but I am glad that people do appreciate this body of work as it truly is, a body of work...
After getting his Spiritual focus, then he got his Musical focus back, and that is what we loved about him..... -
Edited 4 years agoMy mint copy has noticeable noise in the right channel on Side A, tracks 2 & 3 in particular. (Edit: realized this is caused by a slight warp.) Sides C & D clear as a bell! As for the music, many necessary tracks for Prince fans: "Muse 2 the Pharaoh," "The Work," "1+1+1 is 3,""Family Name," "The Everlasting Now." Great live drummer, Prince signature wailing rock guitar solos scattered throughout.
