When I first heard the title song, I was like "This is great, Prince returning to his roots". Musicology was his comeback they say. Last july 2018, Sony Legacy announced it had obtained the rights to release the bulk of Prince’s back catalog, starting with the albums he released after he left Warner Bros.

It is very likeley not his very best album, but it belongs in the Top10

Ranks among his best in my opinion.

I love how the vinyl is purple as well which is so totally Prince :) 12 songs. Prince's Musicology is available on limited edition purple vinyl for the first time for a new generation of true funk soldiers to discover! Very low noise floor. Sound wise everything works nicely, the CD copy I have is what was given out on his 2006 Tour which is pretty nice, this version trumps it easily. Once I listened on that lovely purple wax!?
