Despite showing similarities with the debut album, The Time's second effort What Time Is It? offers three boasting, extended synth-funk jams ("Wild and Loose", "777-9311" and "The Walk") that are undoubtedly much better than those on the first album and an exceptional humorous ballad as well ("Gigolos Get Lonely Too"). The album was recorded at Sunset Sound and at Prince's Minneapolis home studio. What Time Is It? represents The Time's best developed album overall, much more fully developed than its predecessor, and it is particularly appreciated by fans of Prince's early works. (Limited worldwide release of 5500.)
