A great insight into Prince's music world and musical genius. However, story needed serious editing.

Fantastic content, but...

Really enjoyed the level of in-studio detail. The fly-on-the-wall view! I'd have given 5 stars overall, but there's a bit that gets cut-off, I think it's the Around the World in a Day Chapter and parts that are repeated, not sure if it's a cros-reference in the hardcopy version that isn't translated in the audiobook? In saying this, it's a gift of a resource and I appreciate the opportunity to listen to Prince's legendary, creative prowess in the studio!

Musical Geek-Out

I really enjoyed a lot of the content, minus the million PURPLE references, but a chapter is doubled up, another is part missing, there are sonic and editing issues galore, this seriously needs to be edited again and resubmitted.

Great But Terrible Production

Struggling to finish it. Narrated too fast with some repetitive content. It is a shame as I am a massive Prince fan

It's a shame

Narrator mispronounces words, there are a number of sections repeated and I had to check my playback speed. Great job Jake Brown.

Good story, terrible audiobook

While this audiobook provided some interesting insight into the development of Prince’s albums the editing may it a challenging and disappointing experience. There is significant repetition across chapters as a result of poor editing and poor writing.

Repetitive and poorly edited

I cannot listen to the narrator. He speaks far too quickly and almost folds words into each other. Very hard to follow and keep up.

Torture
