Description
Right before the last chorus of The Beautiful Ones, there’s a sharp breath and then that full-bodied scream; it still stuns. Prince And The Revolution’s Purple Rain remains the rare blockbuster that’s also lean, strange and fearless. This LP pressing opens up the mix so the space around the LinnDrum, guitars and stacked harmonies feels more three-dimensional, and imaging snaps into focus. When Doves Cry, famously bassless, somehow hits harder here. And the title track’s guitar coda blooms, letting the crowd and cymbals hang in the air.
You’ll file it next to Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the sharpest corners of the Minneapolis sound. Around Melbourne, it’s still the sing-along you pull when a room needs uniting, but it rewards close listening too.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Prince And The Revolution records online with us. Sleeve art reproduction looks crisp, the purple tones deep and clean. A 1984 pillar that hasn’t dulled, it’s both a gateway and a benchmark for pop, funk and rock in one package. It still feels unruly in the best way.
