I gotta say: this release has been well promoted in the press by having various people available for interviews, even for the advance released tracks. Much better than with PR Deluxe. © Bart Van Hemelen

I was wondering, will this album be eligible for the Grammys and other awards, or does the fact that it is a 35 year old recording rule it out?
It is getting a lot more promotion than any recent Prince album and positive reviews everywhere, and Prince was ridiculously overlooked by the Grammys in particular, so I wonder whether they’ll try to push it during the awards season... if eligible, I can see it doing well in some of the minor categories.

Agreed, but hopefully there is enough left and it gets released for our old asses to get by.
I am enjoying this release. It is emotional and I needed that right now. Cause tomorrow is taking too long
and yesterday's too far away and the reality that you believe in begins to bind. | |

Forgiveness asked if I’m duplicating anyone else’s comments here, but my 2 cents is that any critic’s/writer’s opinion that compares this recording to any intentionally released recording, or treats any of these songs as comparable to any number of truly “produced” tracks, should be disregarded. This is a peek at Prince’s sketch pad, nothing more. It’s recorded technique and some glimpse into a creative process. It’s not finished. Period. There’s no point in reviewing these “tracks” individually as anything other than what they clearly are — outlines and tests and experiments. Review it and appreciate it as a whole, not as a collection. | |

Another good review because the critics are not fans... They are not the ones who have heard this boot 30 years ago, and waiting for a new release... That's why they are good reviews... Lets tally how many good reviews come from the fans about this release.. | |

It's not bad music whatsoever. However, its just really underwhelming as a post-humous release. Majority of the songs are just too short. Once I start to enjoy something (Purple Rain) its already over! Of course ill come back to this release frequently because I love his music dearly, but they can do better than this! .

If I may, I think you got it all wrong. The songs are neither too short or too long, they are what they are given that it was a private recording. And it's not about you (or anyone else) enjoying the music. it's not about us. It's about the music.

While listening now, this feels like going through his private stuff (which it was before). This was not supose to be released for main audience, he's just jamming and trying out things, maybe rehearsing for one of that great aftershow moments.... Still listening and filed in the collection though.. Thank God this ain't Monopoly

Just listened for the first time and I love it. It will be tough to listen to as it does recall memories of his final tour, but I am very glad this has been released.

[Edited 9/20/18 15:12pm] You’re right about Prince being dogged out by the Grammys. He’s in good company though (Marvin Gaye, Sly, George Clinton, Marley, Jimi). I would assume the album would eligible for several categories. | |

UNDERWHELMING
I think this says it all - Sheesh - over 1 year since PR Deluxe, and this.
Makes me feel less guilty for listening to the oodles of "Blast From The Past" type compilations that I've been listening to. | |

I like Piano & A Microphone 1983 and think I prefer it to ONA, however the tidal release will be far more interesting than this. Best songs on this release: 17 Days Mary Dont You Weep International Lover Cold Coffee & Cocaine Making this the only release of the year is stupid, they should put rehearsals on a website where we can purchase them and focus more on studio albums like the tidal release. We are living in Orwell's 1984 | |
