Description
Musicology:
"Real music by real musicians." Prince's Musicology is back on CD for a new generation of true funk soldiers to discover! This classic 2004 album, released just after Prince's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had millions grooving thanks to modern classics like "Musicology," "Call My Name" and "Cinnamon Girl."

3121:
"Never mind what time it is, the party's just begun…" Prince's chart-topping 3121 is back in print for the first time in over a decade! Originally released in 2006, this album features wall-to-wall jamz from the gentle "Te Amo Corazon" to the non-stop groove of "Black Sweat."

Planet Earth:
"Imagine holding Planet Earth in the palm of your hand…" Prince's unforgettable 2007 album is back on CD with a lenticular cover for fans to add to their collections. Rediscover your favorite tracks, from "Guitar" and "Chelsea Rodgers" to the Grammy-nominated "Future Baby Mama."

will be interesting to see if they dig in that vault and add a couple of bonus tracks to each.

Wow, pretty surprising that Legacy/Sony are releasing these on CD! I had given up hope.

Each of these three albums hit the top 3 on the Billboard 200. I'm guessing most fans that already want these CDs probably already own these CDs. Would much rather see Sony release albums like The Chocolate Invasion and The Slaughterhouse on CD, since there have never been official issues of those albums on CD. But at least now I can go back to thinking that Sony might actually put these albums out on a format other than a digital download.

It may be just me, but I found these to be weak albums. I wanted to like Musicology, but never really succeeded; & I never enjoyed the other 2.

I like all three of these, although Musicology has some real crap on it.

Planet Earth is my favorite of the three and has some scorching guitar at times.

Any bonus cuts and I'm in, otherwise I'll skip it.

None of these albums are great, but 3121 is a pretty solid album.

I'm not a fan of Musicology at all. I'd have it in the bottom 5 of Prince albums.
