I removed the "music-importance" tag after contextualizing the entry and linking it up. I'm cleaning up a couple Prince-album entries that've been made recently. Mcsweet

Hi, I'm MarioSoulTruthFan and I'll be reviewing this article anytime in the next 4-5 days.

Just a heads up, but this album was never given an actual "commercial" release, and with only a limited number of copies available, it was quite rare. Given that, there are very few sources available, at least from what I've seen. Carbrera (talk) 12:29, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overall GA review[edit]

  • @MarioSoulTruthFan: I believe I have covered everything. Thanks for the review! Sad that there isn't a single "Good article" for Prince on Wikipedia! Carbrera (talk) 23:09, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Carbrera: you forgot some stuff. See above. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:20, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Carbrera: I'm sorry for being like this but the amazon link only has the CD, I need a source for the LP. That's some expensive CD! :O MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:36, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@MarioSoulTruthFan: Turns out it never was released as an LP! I removed it. Carbrera (talk) 20:11, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Carbrera: passing now! MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 20:21, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
