Then I fell out of his spell for years, only really following his radio hits, not his full albums. I bought them, but didn't enjoy them (with a few exceptions like Parade and Graffiti Bridge), and put them on the shelf. Now I'm rediscovering how great Prince was all those years I didn't listen to him. I never even knew about the Black Album until I recently started backtracking his career and getting caught up buying CD's from those days. I'm finding out that the funky music I didn't care for that much 25 years ago, I love now...and Prince does it best!The Black Album was expensive, since it's rare, but I bought it anyway, and I don't regret it. All funky dance music with entertaining and funny (and sometimes disturbing) lyrics. The only exception is the ballad "When 2 R in Love" which is also on the Lovesexy album. I agree with other posters who say this one song does not fit in with the rest of the album, but it's still a great song.My one and only complaint would be that the 3rd party vendor I bought this from (through Amazon) took 3 full weeks to deliver the CD, which seemed too long for domestic USPS shipping. But it was worth the wait. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This HAD to be good... *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012* I remember hearing about this way back in the late 80's, before the days you could find just about anything on the internet. This was an almost legendary album that was apparently too extreme EVEN FOR PRINCE! Recorded sometime between "Sign of the Times" and "Lovesexy", I read about "Black Album" after it had already been pulled from circulation by Warner Brothers, and actually heard a bootleg cassette while in Germany during the summer of '89. Listening to it now, more than 20 years later, I don't feel it's that much worse than some of his racier B-sides. I remember searching high and low for 12" singles especially to get Prince's off-the-wall B-sides, so this is sort of like finding a collection of those non-mainstream tunes. I've read that Prince prompted the recall because he had bad feelings (?) about the project, that it was too dark or something. Even though it doesn't have any commercial type "singles", I think its very good overall. A different Prince perspective. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition to My Collection *by D***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2021* Years ago, I passed on purchasing this album. I figured IF, the Artist replaced this album with another album he must have had a good reason?The album is packed with energy and emotion and has become one of the most boot-legged albums in music history. It is a piece history and essential to the Prince Mythos. I am glad not to pass up on this album, again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/116483268-black-album](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/116483268-black-album) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
