Search - Prince Far 1 :: Message From the King

The WHOLE Prince Far I album

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Frontline put out a cd called "Black Man Land" some years back mixing two Prince Far I LPs, "Message From The King" and "Livity." Annoyingly, Frontline did not include either album in its entirety. The excellent "Livity" was missing but one track, while "Message From The King" was missing three. This is not acceptable. Finally "Message From The King" came out as a whole disc. As far as I can tell, the brilliant "Livity" is still only available in its shortened form on "Black Man Land."



Long story short, this is the only way to get all of the "Message From The King" tracks on one cd, and having been mastered from the original tapes, they are well worth it. The Prince worked to give us a cohesive listening experience, and all of his LPs are worth enjoying in their complete forms with the original track listings. Frontline has done well putting out the whole Prince Far I LP "Long Life" (it's great, get it!), and "Messgae From The King." I now await the release of "Livity" in its entirety..."
