Prince – For You (CD)
Product Details
Recorded in 1978 at the Record Plant in Sausalito, *For You* arrived when Minneapolis had yet to register as a creative force in American music. That would change fast. The skills Prince demonstrated here, playing over two dozen instruments across nine tracks as a teenager, laid the foundation for everything that followed, from *Dirty Mind* to Purple Rain and beyond.
"Every time you go into the recording booth, you have to play like this is your only shot.” —Prince, 1978
The album credits on Prince’s debut album say it all: “Produced, arranged, composed, and performed by Prince.” When Prince entered the studio to lay down the tracks on For You, the stakes were high. Not only was it a chance to prove himself to the world as a talented songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and singer — but at only 19 years old, he was about to become the youngest artist in Warner Bros. history to produce his own album and record every part on it himself.
