Tane1976 24th Mar 2017		Vinyl Album Michael Jackson - Bad (1987)	This album is perfect, it is too great for words
Tane1976 13th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album The Time - What Time Is It? (1982)	Review The Time's second and best of their album. The funk work outs on the debut are taken further and we have a good time fun record. The opener Wild and Loose is agreat party jam about being a famous band and having fun. Includes a funny conversation with some female fans talking uo the group, but once they meet Morris, who brushes them off, they change. This is followed by 777 - 9311 a song about the group wanting a ladies phone number, no doubt for something else. The song ahs a pleading party feel and became a huge hit on the soul chart reaching #2. In real life it was the phone number of Prince's guitarist - Dez Dickerson, who had to change it after he was called all hours of the night. The nest song is a silly skit, but enjoyable enough, but it is a filler. Then comes The Walk, easily the best Jam on the album and possibly the greatest song ever by the Time. The walk is about showing off and includes a catchy melody and some hilarious lyrics. At the end Morris is encouraging Vanity (Of Vanity 6 fame) to lose her jeans and walk around in a camisole (After all the girls in his neighbourhood wear them and Morris always has a ready supply of women's lingere in his glovebox). Prince also offers vocal cameos and the whole song is funky but hilarious. Finally we have two ballads, which are a vast improvement on the ballads on the debut. Gigolos get lonely to is sublime and proves there is more to Morris than some jet set meets jive ass pimp ladies man. He has emotions too, finally we I don't wanna leave you, which flies in the face of what we think of Morris. Here he sings about commitment, but this is strange from a man who pretty much is gone once he has finished you know what. Overall this is great stuff, very funky, dancy and soulful and totally reminescent of the genius of Prince. 9/10 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Tane1976 13th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album The Time - What Time Is It? (1982)	Again, this album is all Prince, with him recording the tracks and using Morris for the vocals. He credits band members, but it is 100% Prince again, under the monniker Jamie Starr.
Tane1976 13th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album The Time - The Time (1981)	This album was produced, arranged and composed by Prince. Prince wrote all the songs and performed the whole album, with Morris Day singing lead vocals on it. The Time had no part in this or the second album. Prince used the pseudonym Jamie Starr and was producer with Morris Day. The music was credited to Tionna Music a company owned by Prince and Morris Day. When Morris left the time in June 1084, all the credits went back to Prince. This album was an outlet for Prince to portray his black funk sound and the Time were a front for this. He credits all the jams to the Time though and usually Morris Day and guitarist Jesse Johnson.

Tane1976 13th Feb 2017		Vinyl Album Prince - For You (1984)	Pressing of this is mostly 1984, in the midst of Purple Rain mania. Copies include a Purple Sheet showing all Prince, Time, Vanity6 and Sheila E albums up to mid 1984 (No Apollonia 6).
