Following the same format as previously, this book deals with 1985 and 1986, some of the most prolific years of Prince’s entire career. With even more sessions described in detail than the first installment in the series, it spans over 700 pages. For nearly every song recorded in 1985 and 1986, Tudahl has uncovered more detailed information than previously known and, again, presents it in a fresh and exciting narrative that takes the reader into the studio with Prince, revealing the creative process, providing a look behind the curtain and revealing the brilliance of Prince’s work.
Besides some corrections, the paperback edition, released in October 2022, has new information that came to light after he hardcover was published, and features a preview chapter, covering December 1987, of the next installment of Duane’s book series,
