Apparently when his first manager heard his demo tape he was looking forward to meeting the band.............


It was Prince playing all instruments and singing lead and all 3 backing vocals at different pitches!!

Done on a cheap Hohner tele copy. It's incredible. I was in the company of Graham Coxon from Blur many years ago and we obviously got talking about guitars and guitarists. He told me Prince was the best guitar player in the world, I thought he was taking the piss.

First album written, arranged, performed, engineered and produced by Prince. At the age of seventeen!
 
I'll let you into a little secret.... Marc Mann, the bloke who plays the first solo, i.e., the harrison solo, wasn't supposed to. That was supposed to be Prince's solo. That pissed him off a bit, hence the cock blistering event in the coda.

I thought he was a manufactured pop star until I saw a gig on bbc back in the 90s. I was astonished. He's as good as anyone and I hate fret wankers. It's a canny line up mind... Lynne, Petty, Prince, Winwood, prob Keltner on drums.
 
Always top notch solos ...a big Hendrix influence and a crying shame to see his slow demise from popularity in recent years.
