- Summary
Purple Rain was Prince’s sixth studio album and was originally released in June 1984. The previous album, 1999, was issued in 1982, so while by any normal standards this was a fairly prompt follow-up, for Prince it was unusually tardy and 1983 remains the only year in the eighties where he didn’t release a new studio album. Four singles from Purple...
This isn’t marketed as an audiophile remaster and it’s not. For example, the audio is significantly louder than the Purple Rain that was included as part of 2012’s (withdrawn) Original Album Series. However, while it’s quite loud, it still sounds fine to these ears and let’s face it, the way Prince recorded the album – quickly, lots of live recordi...
I’ll admit I was a bit worried about this disc. As someone who had bought, and was underwhelmed by, the Crystal Ball set back in ’98 (with ‘delights’ like Cloreen Baconskin) I wasn’t sure how good this disc of tracks from the vault would be. Also, song titles like We Can Fuck, Wonderful Ass, Electric Intercourse and Love and Sex weren’t filling me ...
In some respects, this CD is the most surprising element of the reissue, since packing bonus discs full of single edits, B-sides and remixes is normally something major labels don’t do very well – this has become the domain of third party licensees like Demon Music and Cherry Red. But credit where it’s due, this disc delivers. Single edits of all t...
This concert is crazily good. As I started really getting into music in 1984/5 my main memories of early-ish Prince was watching the videos on Top Of The Pops and then thatappearance at the Brit Awards (then called the BPI Awards) in Feb ’85 when he accepted his award for Best International Artist accompanied to the stage by a big and burly bouncer...
SDE thoughts on the packaging are largely covered via the video above. It can be summarised thus: not as ‘deluxe’ as expected, but fine for the price. I should add that since that video was shot I’ve received the vinyl edition and the front cover is one of the best I’ve ever seen on any vinyl reissue. It’s pin sharp and beautiful. A far cry from th...
When analysing music reissues and box sets, there’s (almost) always things that could have been done but weren’t. The Purple Raindeluxe doesn’t tick every box, because there’s no 5.1 surround sound mix, no hi-res stereo version and it rather under delivers on Warners original promise of two discs of unheard music and two DVDs with video content. Bu...
