Prince – Purple Rain: Remastered (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Prince recorded Purple Rain at Sunset Sound in Hollywood and his own Paisley Park studios in 1983 and 1984, with the Revolution performing live in the studio to capture the kind of raw, room energy that defined his legendary concerts. The remastered edition restores that presence, making the low end hit the way it was always meant to, especially on a turntable.
Prince designed "Purple Rain" as the project that would make him a superstar, and surprisingly, that is exactly what happened. Simultaneously more focused and ambitious than any of his previous records, "Purple Rain" finds Prince consolidating his funk and R&B roots while moving boldly into pop,rock, and heavy metal with nine superbly crafted songs. Although Prince's songwriting is at a peak, the presence of the Revolution pulls the music into sharper focus, giving it a tougher, more aggressive edge. Even with all of his new, but uncompromising, forays into pop Prince hasn't abandoned funk. Taken together, all of the stylistic experiments add up to a stunning statement of purpose that remains one of the most exciting rock & roll albums ever created.
