These tracks were all re-recorded for the album, when [[In Love]], [[Crazy You]] and [[So Blue]] were also recorded. |
The album sessions took place at [[Record Plant]], Sausalito, CA, USA, from 1 October 1977 to 22 December 1977, before overdubs and mixing were done in early January 1978-at [[Sound Labs]], Los Angeles, CA, USA. While [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] had initially given [[Prince]] a budget of $180,000 for his first three albums, the album sessions of '''For You''' accumulated $170,000 in studio bills. | The album sessions took place at [[Record Plant]], Sausalito, CA, USA, from 1 October 1977 to 22 December 1977, before overdubs and mixing were done in early January 1978-at [[Sound Labs]], Los Angeles, CA, USA.

A band was assembled in late 1978-and played their first concerts with [[Prince]] at the [[05_January 1979|Capri Theatre on 5]] and [[06_January 1979|6 January 1979]], but they failed to convince Warner executives that the band was ready to tour. |

During the same period, the pop chart toppers were the soundtrack to blockbuster movie "Grease", Linda Rondstadt’s "Living In The USA", Donna Summer’s "Live And More" and Billy Joel’s "52nd Street". |
− | On the [[Billboard_Top_R&B_Albums|Billboard Soul | + | On the [[Billboard_Top_R&B_Albums|Billboard Soul LP’s Chart]] [[Album: For You|For You]] fared a lot better, reaching number 21. However the album could not compete with other LPs of established black artists like Brothers Johnson ("Blam"), Ashford And Simpson ("Is It Still Good For Ya"), Funkadelic ("One Nation Under A Groove"), Barry White ("The Man") and Chic ("C'est Chic"); these albums together with other very successful LPs from Donna Summer ("Live And More"), Rick James ("Come Get It") and Rose Royce ("Strikes Again") trusted the first five positions in the Soul LPs chart from August to December 1978, making it almost impossible for [[Prince]] to reach top ten. |
