Prince And The Revolution – Purple Rain

Prince And The Revolution – Purple Rain

One of the greatest albums ever made, full stop. Purple Rain (1984) is Prince at the absolute peak of his powers — a soundtrack album that transcended the film it accompanied and became a cultural landmark in its own right. From the explosive opener "Let's Go Crazy" to the eight-minute title track that closes the record in a blaze of orchestral guitar glory, every moment is immaculate. It spent 24 weeks at #1, produced three top-ten singles, and won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. This 2021 limited edition reissue from The Prince Estate is pressed on purple 180-gram vinyl using an Optimal Pressing — the finest quality available — and is the definitive collector’s edition of one of music’s most essential records.
