Prince in the Studio (1975-1995): v. 1

Awesome

Any Prince fan should read this, most of the information is known to die-hards but there is also a technical detail that musical producers will recognise.A factual journey through the musical career of one of the world's most compelling musicians.I recommend this to anyone with no, some or a great deal of Prince knowledge.

タイトルを見て即買いたくなってしまったがちょっとこらえて安価なkindle版にした。何度も何度も人物紹介が繰り返されたり背景説明も同様であるので、この本少しおかしいんじゃないかと思う。編集者が不在かいてもろくに仕事をしなかったかのどっちかだろう。翻訳もあると聞くが筋金入りのファンが多い日本でこのレベルの本を売るというのは蛮勇だろう。目新しい情報はほとんどないのでいかに殿下が仕事熱心であったかということを再認識するためにパパっと読んで終わりにするのがよろしい。

Read this knowing close to nothing about Prince. I mean... I've heard songs... obviously. I saw PURPLE RAIN when it came out, and enjoy watching it to this day. But I've never really known anything about the man. This book gave me what I was interested in... learning about him through his music and the studio. This book was amazing for that. Jake Brown hits it out of the park. Highly recommended for those interested in a music-focused book on Prince. In this book, the most important thing I learned was that Prince plays just about all of the instruments on his releases. Gained a lot of respect for him for his amazing command of writing and recording.

For those who are interested in music, recording techniques and equipment this book might be very interesting despite of some misspellings, especially if you like Prince one of the most talented artists of the (19eighties hehe) 20th and 21st century.
