Well, credit where credit is due hey?. It should be fairly clear by now I'm not 
a huge fan of this particular label but I've also always said I will comment 
only on the content and not get bogged down in the politics of it all. So, for 
once, Eye have got their shit together and whether by sheer luck or some good 
ol' fashioned negotiating we've finally been treated to something fresh and new, 
rather than being given yet another rip off or re-issue. And it's certainly a 
head turner.

What we have here are soundboard recordings taken from the 2 consecutive shows 
Prince did at 2009's Montreux Jazz Festival. Already fan favourites, due to the 
song choices and overall performances, it truly is fantastic to get these 
recordings in such excellent and crisp quality. In fact, with security as it is 
these days at gigs (especially with Prince) it's utterly dumbfounding we can get 
a soundboard in this day and age. So I guess I'll have to take my hat off to 
them on this occasion.... although some may question if this might not be a very 
risky move from Eye Records. I guess only time will tell on that one.

I do have some criticisms (wouldn't be much of a critic if I didn't) and they 
mostly concern Disc 3 and Eye's overall engineering work but to be quite honest, 
for once I'm not gonna give the guys a hard time. As I said at the start, credit 
where credit is due and I can't argue with a release like this so take a pat on 
the back lads and enjoy the results while you can. For everyone else, track this 
down as soon as you can. An essential addition to your collections this year.
