{"title":"Prince","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo other artist of the rock \u0026amp; roll era compares to Prince. He was the rare combination of a visionary pop conceptualist and master musician who could capture the sounds he imagined, a quality that fueled his remarkable success in the 1980s. Ideas came to Prince so quickly, they couldn't be contained on his own records, either with or without his backing band the Revolution. He masterminded albums by the Time and Sheila E, and gave away hit songs to the Bangles and Sheena Easton, shaping the sound of popular music in the process. There wasn't an area of pop music in the '80s that didn't bear his influence: it could be heard in freaky funk and R\u0026amp;B slow jams, in thick electro-techno and neo-psychedelic rock, and right at the top of the pop charts. Prince's reign continued into the early '90s, a time which found him swapping the Revolution for the jazz-funk New Power Generation, but by the middle of the decade, he'd entered a cold war with his record company that contributed to a slow slide down the charts. Once he received emancipation from his contract, he seized the opportunity to release as much music as he could record, occasionally taking the time to focus his aim at the mainstream, scoring such hits as 2004's Musicology in the process. Prince produced new music at a furious pace throughout the last decade of his life, which is what made his death in 2016 such a shock: his music was ceaselessly, endlessly alive and full of possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic ran in Prince's blood. The son of a jazz pianist and singer, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958. Prince taught himself how to play music at an early age and his first original songs arrived not much later. Music remained a mainstay after his parent's divorce, a period where he bounced between both households. For a while, Prince stayed with his neighbors the Andersons, whose son Andre would later adopt the stage name Andre Cymone. The pair became friends and then collaborators, forming a covers band called Grand Central with Morris Day while the three attended high school together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrince and Cymone's first big break arrived when Pepe Willie, the husband of Prince's cousin, brought the duo into the funk band 94 East. Prince played guitar on a few tracks on a 94 East demo and co-wrote \"Just Another Sucker\" with Willie, a song composed in 1977. By that point, the teenage Prince had already signed to Warner Bros. on the strength of a demo he recorded with producer Chris Moon. He headed to the Record Plant in Sausalito, California to record his debut For You, which appeared in 1978. Prince played every instrument and sang every note on For You, an audacious move for a debut. The album made some inroads on R\u0026amp;B radio, with its first single \"Soft and Wet\" reaching 12. It was quickly eclipsed by \"I Wanna Be Your Lover,\" the first single from 1979's Prince. \"I Wanna Be Your Lover\" reached number one R\u0026amp;B and nearly cracked Billboard's Top Ten, peaking at 11. \"Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?\" gave him another significant R\u0026amp;B hit in early 1980, reaching number 13 on the Billboard charts, but Prince guaranteed that he wouldn't be pigeonholed as a soul act by embracing rock, pop, and new wave on 1980's Dirty Mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirty Mind was Prince's first masterpiece, a one-man tour de force of sex and music; it was hard funk with catchy Beatlesque melodies, sweet soul ballads, and rocking guitar pop all at once. It didn't perform as well as Prince on the R\u0026amp;B charts, but \"Uptown\" peaked at number five on both the Billboard Dance and R\u0026amp;B charts. Prince doubled down on risque rock \u0026amp; funk on 1981's Controversy. Pop hits eluded him this time around, but \"Controversy\" and \"Let's Work\" made the Billboard R\u0026amp;B chart, which wasn't the only time Prince visited these particular charts in 1981. He masterminded the eponymous debut album by the Time, a Minneapolis funk band featuring his old friend Morris Day. All this buzz led the Rolling Stones to hire Prince as an opener for part of their 1981 tour, running into audiences that were unwilling to embrace his genre-bending music. He'd soon find wider acceptance for his music with 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tightly constructed double album, 1999 served as futuristic funk-pop that showcased the extent of his range. Released in October 1982, 1999 generated three massive hits: its title track topped out at 12 but it was a staple on the fledgling MTV, while \"Little Red Corvette\" and \"Delirious\" were Top Ten hits, peaking at six and eight respectively. 1999 is also where Prince unveiled his backing band the Revolution, showcasing the group in the album's music videos and featuring them on the record's supporting tour; several members also played on 1999. Afterwards, guitarist Dez Dickerson departed and the Revolution's classic lineup of guitarist Wendy Melvoin, keyboardist Lisa Coleman, keyboardist Matt Fink, bassist Brown Mark, and drummer Bobby Z solidified. This incarnation of the Revolution was showcased on Purple Rain, the film Prince released in July 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mythologized version of his own back story largely shot in his home city of Minneapolis, Purple Rain made Prince a superstar. Preceded by the stark, startling funk of \"When Doves Cry,\" Prince's first number one single, Purple Rain became a blockbuster, its theatrical success feeding the popularity of its soundtrack and vice-versa. For a brief period, Prince had the number one single, album, and film in the United States, a remarkable achievement. The album's subsequent singles almost all went Top Ten: \"Let's Go Crazy\" also went to number one, while \"Purple Rain\" peaked at two and \"I Would Die 4 U\" reached number eight (\"Take Me with U,\" released at the end of the album's cycle, went no further than 25.) With fame came controversy: Tipper Gore formed the Parents Music Resource Center after discovering her 11-year-old daughter listening to \"Darling Nikki,\" a sexually charged song from Purple Rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis stardom secured, Prince took an abrupt left turn in 1985 with Around the World in a Day, an excursion into psychedelic pop not too far removed from the Paisley Underground movement in Los Angeles; indeed, he'd give the Bangles, one of the bands at the core of the trend, \"Manic Monday,\" which went to number two in 1986. Thanks to \"Raspberry Beret,\" Around the World in a Day was also a hit, albeit one that paled in comparison to Purple Rain; it sold two million copies and generated only one other Top 40 hit in \"Pop Life.\" Prince quickly followed it with Parade, which was the soundtrack to his second film, Under the Cherry Moon. Directed by Prince, the film flopped, but the eclectic Parade was another hit album, producing the number one smash \"Kiss.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrince disbanded the Revolution after the supporting tour for Parade, an excerpt of which was featured on Sign 'o' the Times, the sprawling double-album he released in March 1987. Assembled from the remnants of several incomplete projects, Sign 'o' the Times was hailed as one of Prince's best albums, showcasing the full scope of his talents. It also produced three Top Ten hits in \"Sign 'o' the Times,\" \"U Got the Look,\" and \"I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man.\" Prince planned to release a collection of hard funk called The Black Album in November 1987 but he pulled the record at the last minute believing the album was too dark and immoral; it would be released in a limited run in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrince quickly recorded Lovesexy, an album intended as a bright riposte to the darkness of the scrapped The Black Album. Lovesexy became his first album not to reach the Top Ten since Controversy and only generated one Top 40 single in \"Alphabet St.\" Prince rebounded swiftly with Batman, an album inspired by Tim Burton's 1989 silver screen adaptation of the caped crusader. A blend of sound collage and medley, \"Batdance\" became Prince's first number one single since \"Kiss,\" with \"Partyman\" reaching 18 later that year. Prince returned to the big screen in 1990 with Graffiti Bridge, another film he directed himself. Its accompanying album was Prince's third double-album in seven years, cobbled together from strays from the past decade and new songs, such as its lone Top Ten single \"Thieves in the Temple.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 1991's Diamonds and Pearls, Prince debuted the New Power Generation, a versatile band of professionals specializing in R\u0026amp;B and funk. The streamlined soul of Diamonds and Pearls gave Prince his biggest non-Batman hit since Around the World in a Day, with the slinky \"Cream\" becoming his last number one hit and the ballad \"Diamonds and Pearls\" reaching number three. The following year, Prince released his 14th album, titling it after a cryptic logo that allegedly combined the symbols for male and female. This graphic would soon be dubbed the \"Love Symbol\" and the album of the same name found Prince grappling with hip-hop on \"My Name Is Prince\" but it was the shimmering pop of \"7\" that gave him another Top Ten hit; fittingly, it peaked at seven on Billboard. In 1993, Prince released his first greatest-hits collection, The Hits; it was accompanied by an edition that also rounded up many of his B-sides from the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrince changed his name to the Love Symbol in 1993 as a protest against his label Warner Bros., who would not release new recordings from the musician as often as he desired. As the Love Symbol was unpronounceable, Prince was called \"The Artist Formerly Known As Prince\" (or \"The Artist\") during this feud with Warner, which lasted until 2000, at which time his publishing contract with Warner\/Chappell expired. After releasing \"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World\" on his NPG Records in 1994 -- it became his last Top Ten hit, reaching number three -- Prince attempted to speed through his recording contract with Warner during the mid-'90s, beginning with 1994's Come. Bearing \"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,\" The Gold Experience arrived in 1995, with the postscript Chaos and Disorder closing out the contract in the summer of 1996. Prince celebrated the end of his tenure at Warner by releasing the triple-CD set Emancipation on his own NPG in November of 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreeted by warm reviews and initially strong sales -- the triple-disc set would be certified double platinum due to its size -- Emancipation didn't generate any hit singles. Abundance soon became a calling card for Prince. Just over a year after Emancipation, he released another triple-disc set named Crystal Ball. Collecting unreleased material recorded over the years, Crystal Ball was accompanied by a bonus acoustic album called The Truth; it would receive its own independent release in 2021. Soon, the market was flooded with new Prince material. Newpower Soul, an album billed to New Power Generation but effectively a new Prince album, appeared in June 1998, Warner released a disc of outtakes called The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale in the summer of 1999, and Prince signed with Arista for Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, a star-studded wannabe blockbuster that performed modestly upon its November 1999 release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrince spent the first few years of the 2000s indulging in his love of jazz fusion on a series of records released on NPG, the first being 2001's The Rainbow Children, an album that referred to his recent conversion to the Jehovah's Witnesses. Prince returned to pop and R\u0026amp;B in 2004 -- and to major labels -- with Musicology, an album that brought him back into the Top Ten, while also garnering him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2005; it'd be certified double platinum by the RIAA. He consolidated his commercial comeback with 3121, which hit number one on the album charts soon after its release in March 2006. Planet Earth followed in 2007, featuring contributions from his old Revolution bandmates Wendy \u0026amp; Lisa. In the U.K., copies were cover-mounted on the July 15 edition of The Mail on Sunday, provoking Columbia -- the worldwide distributor for the release -- to refuse distribution throughout the U.K. In the U.S., the album was issued on July 24, debuting at number three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLotusFlow3r, a three-disc set, arrived in 2009, featuring a trio of distinct albums: LotusFlow3r itself (a guitar showcase), MPLSound (a throwback to his '80s funk output), and Elixer (a smooth contemporary R\u0026amp;B album featuring the breathy vocals of Bria Valente). Despite only being available online and through one big-box retailer, the set debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. A year later, another throwback-flavored effort, 20Ten, became his second U.K. newspaper giveaway. No official online edition of the album was made available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom mid-2010 to the end of 2012, Prince toured throughout Europe, America, Europe again, Canada, and Australia. In 2013, he released several singles, starting with \"Screwdriver\" and continuing with \"Breakfast Can Wait\" in the summer of that year. Early in 2014, he made a cameo appearance on the Zooey Deschanel sitcom The New Girl, appearing in the episode that aired following the Super Bowl. All this activity was a prelude to the spring announcement that Prince had re-signed to Warner Bros., the label he had feuded with 20 years prior. As part of the deal, he wound up receiving ownership of his master recordings, and the label planned a reissue campaign that would begin with an expanded release of Purple Rain roughly timed to celebrate its 30th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst came two new albums: Art Official Age and PlectrumElectrum, the latter credited to 3rdEyeGirl, the all-female power trio that was his new-millennial backing band. Both records came out on the same day in September 2014. Almost a year to the day, he released HITnRUN: Phase One, with contributions from Lianne La Havas, Judith Hill, and Rita Ora. A sequel, HITnRUN: Phase Two, was released online in December 2015, with a physical release following in January 2016. Also in early 2016, Prince set out on a rare solo tour, a run of shows he called \"Piano and a Microphone.\" The tour was cut short in April due to sickness, however, and Prince flew home to Minneapolis. On April 21, 2016, police were called to Paisley Park where they found Prince unresponsive; he died that day at the age of 57.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn June 2, 2016, Prince's death was ruled by the Anoka County's Midwest Medical Examiner's Office to be the result of an accidental overdose of fentanyl. His early death and incredible achievements prompted an outpouring of emotion from fans, friends, influences, and professional associates. On the following week's Billboard charts, he occupied four of the Top Ten album positions and four of the top singles positions. As the particulars of his estate were sorted out by the courts -- the singer didn't leave a will, which complicated matters -- his Paisley Park complex was opened to the public in the autumn of 2016. That holiday season, NPG and Warner released 4Ever, a double-disc hits collection that contained the unreleased 1982 outtake \"Moonbeam Levels.\" Upon its November 22, 2016 release, it debuted at 35 on Billboard's Top 200. The long-promised expanded reissue of Purple Rain appeared in June of 2017, featuring a disc's worth of previously unreleased music from Prince's vaults. Anthology: 1995-2010, a double-disc compilation of highlights from Prince's latter-day recordings, appeared in August 2018 in conjunction with the digital re-release of his post-Warner catalog; it was part of a deal with Sony Legacy, which also masterminded physical reissues of these latter-day records in the subsequent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe archival Piano \u0026amp; A Microphone 1983 appeared in September 2018; it debuted at 11 in the U.S. and 12 in the U.K. The next major reissue was Originals, a collection of Prince's original versions of 15 songs he gave to other artists. Featuring his versions of \"Manic Monday,\" \"Nothing Compares 2 You,\" \"Jungle Love,\" and \"The Glamorous Life,\" Originals arrived in June of 2019; it debuted at 15 in the U.S. and 21 in the U.K. A deluxe edition of 1999 -- containing two discs of unreleased material from Prince's vault, a live show from 1982, and a disc of single variations -- appeared later that November. In May 2020, Sony reissued all of the 2002 albums released under the \"One Nite Alone\" moniker as the box Up All Nite with Prince: The One Nite Alone Collection. This set was overshadowed by the September release of a Super Deluxe edition of Sign 'o' the Times, which expanded the original double-album with a wealth of unreleased studio recordings and live material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome 2 America, the first completed, unreleased album culled from Prince's vaults, appeared in July 2021. The album was recorded in March 2010 prior to his Welcome 2 America Tour and featured bassist Tal Wilkenfeld and drummer Chris Coleman. It debuted at number four upon its release. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"prince-3121-colored-vinyl-purple-150-gram-vinyl-gatefold-lp-jacket-2-lps","title":"3121 (Colored Vinyl, Purple, 150 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold LP Jacket) (2 Lp's)","description":"During the 1990s it looked as though Prince, once one of the most vital and inventive artists in the industry, was in all ways over. Yet 2004's MUSICOLOGY redeemed the man who seemed lost to obscure re-christenings and self-indulgent double-albums by proving he could still deliver the goods with strong songs and tight, funky musicianship. 2006's 3121 does MUSICOLOGY one better. Not only is it full of fine writing, superb production, and infectious, high-energy jams, it is Prince's most focused and consistent effort in a long time.\r\nThat 3121 doesn't rival masterpieces like PARADE and SIGN 'O' THE TIMES is not surprising; Prince doesn't invent at such a furious pace here. Instead, he sticks with what he knows best--forward-thinking, idiosyncratic funk--and does it to perfection. The rolling stomp of the title-track opener, the synth-driven \"Lolita,\" and the down-and-dirty \"Black Sweat\" tell us this will be an album full of body-movers, while beautifully downtempo tunes like \"Te Amo Corazon\" prove the man hasn't lost his sense of songcraft. MUSICOLOGY put Prince back in the driver's seat, and 3121 finds him revving up the engine.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/08\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43759616065769,"sku":"JTUKF8-AIMV-00","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-3121-Colored-Vinyl-Purple-150-Gram-Vinyl-Gatefold-LP-Jacket-2-Lps_gFaOY.jpg?v=1752621299"},{"product_id":"prince-planet-earth","title":"Planet Earth","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Purple One's PLANET EARTH arrived amid controversy, as Prince's label refused to release it in the U.K. after he made it a free giveaway with copies of a British newspaper. Despite the unconventional promotional tactics, the album proved to be one of Prince's most straightforward releases in some time. The uptempo pop-rockers \"Guitar\" and \"Resolution\" hark back to his mid-'80s heyday, and the slow-jam R\u0026amp;B of \"Future Baby Mama\" finds him turning up the romantic heat in no uncertain terms. There's no lack of danceability either, as evidenced by the funk workout \"Chelsea Rodgers.\" For all the unfettered energy and libidinous inspiration, though, PLANET EARTH represents a more mature Prince. Pushing 50, he has more on his mind than partying. The elegantly unfurled title track and the aforementioned \"Resolution\" bespeak a strong sociopolitical awareness, as he addresses the global concerns of climate and war, respectively. Ultimately, the album serves as both a pure slice of sonic pleasure and a potentially consciousness-raising platform for Purple positivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/08\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43759663874281,"sku":"JCSWEI-CT4I-00","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-Planet-Earth_nF15S.jpg?v=1759247926"},{"product_id":"prince-around-the-world-in-a-day","title":"AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY","description":"Prince \u0026amp; The Revolution: Prince (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion); Wendy Melvoin (vocals, guitar); Lisa Coleman, Dr. Fink (vocals, keyboards); Brown Mark (vocals, bass); Bobby Z (drums, percussion).\nAdditional personnel: Novi Novog, Vaj (violin); David Coleman (cello, oud, percussion, background vocals); Suzie Katayama (cello); Sid Page, Marcy Dictorow (strings); Eddie M.

(vocals).\nRecorded at Sunset Sound \u0026amp; Uptown, Los Angeles, California.\nWith the release of this seminal double-album, Prince evolves from the minimalist synth-pop that powered such discs as DIRTY MIND and CONTROVERSY into the pop genius that defined such quirky masterpieces as PURPLE RAIN and SIGN OF THE TIMES. Were it only for the hits--the loopy bounce of \"Delirious,\" the moody slide of \"Little Red Corvette,\" and the irresistible title track (only Prince could have written the ultimate dance song for the turn of the millennium 18 years before the fact)--1999 would be essential. These tracks are as perfect as they are familiar from incessant radio play.\nThe rest of 1999 holds up to the radio hits. Loose, nasty grooves like \"D.M.S.R.\" and \"Automatic\" are interspersed with the propulsive shuffle of \"Let's Pretend We're Married\" and the soulful, psychedelic pulse of \"Something In The Water.\" This is not average dance music. Prince's hybrid of rich, trippy atmospherics, '80s synth-y keyboard sounds, lush, asymmetrical harmonies, elements of rock guitar, soulful singing, and strong songwriting--all rolled together with beats--weaves dark, sexual energy into ebullient boogie anthems. 1999 is one of the definitive pop music documents of the '80s.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 7\/7\/1987\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563472842985,"sku":"BP68C7-HZM8-00","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-1999_8iBTq_f8d1c762-881d-47ac-a7f1-fb73c816288f.jpg?v=1759323887"},{"product_id":"prince-greatest-hits-1","title":"GREATEST HITS 1","description":"Personnel: Prince (vocals, various instruments); Claire Fischer (conductor); Jimmy Johnson, Dez Dickerson, Miko (vocals, guitar); Atlanta Bliss, Eric Leeds (vocals, brass); Boni Boyer (vocals, Hammond organ); Cat (vocals); Sheila E.

It's not quite so simple. Even Prince's most chaste material, like the finger-wagging \"Pop Life,\" has a certain limpid eroticism. \"Soft and Wet\" and the power-poppy \"When You Were Mine,\" while nowhere near as blatant as some of The Purple One's other tracks, still raise an eyebrow. What's most interesting is the way the best songs from uneven albums like GRAFFITI BRIDGE and otherwise obscure tracks like the jazzy \"Seven\" assume a new luster in the company of classics like \"When Doves Cry.\" THE HITS ONE contains the previously unreleased \"Pink Cashmere\" and a live version of \"Nothing Compares 2 U.\" This disc and its companion volume are also available as a box set with an essential bonus third disc of b-sides.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 9\/14\/1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563602276585,"sku":"PIEMPG-P5ZJ-00","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-GREATEST-HITS-1_QqpE5.jpg?v=1759179976"},{"product_id":"prince-sign-o-the-times-deluxe-edition","title":"Sign O' The Times (Deluxe Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSign O' The Times (Deluxe Edition) is a Music CDs from Prince\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: WARNER BROS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563645956329,"sku":"UKT4XD-WUO0-00","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-Sign-O-The-Times-Deluxe-Edition_EFMoM.jpg?v=1758946999"},{"product_id":"prince-the-broadcast-collection-1985-1991-5cd","title":"The Broadcast Collection 1985-1991 (5CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Broadcast Collection 1985-1991 (5CD) is a Music CDs from Prince\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 01\/01\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563667943657,"sku":"52TTAJ-Y8MC-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-The-Broadcast-Collection-1985-1991-5CD_rfstE.jpg?v=1759240229"},{"product_id":"prince-prince-parade-signature-black-ss-tee-xl","title":"Prince PRINCE PARADE SIGNATURE BLACK SS TEE XL","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Apparel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/31\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563832897769,"sku":"82YJN4-WRKW-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-PRINCE-PARADE-SIGNATURE-BLACK-SS-TEE-XL_O1vuK.jpg?v=1737738290"},{"product_id":"prince-controversy","title":"Controversy","description":"Personnel includes: Prince (vocals, various instruments); Lisa Coleman (keyboards, background vocals); Dr. Fink (keyboards); Bobby Z (drums).\nEngineers: Mic Guzanski, Ross Pallone, Bob Mockler.\nCONTROVERSY is the fourth release from Prince, and it continues in the tradition of his debut DIRTY MIND, with funky rhythms, throbbing electronic accents and titillating lyrics.

As with many of his recordings, Prince maintains complete creative control here by handling all the writing, playing and production himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/10\/2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581314953449,"sku":"3P4TKU-PBAG-00","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-Controversy-180-Gram-Vinyl_doxU9.jpg?v=1740584537"},{"product_id":"prince-dirty-mind-explicit-content-150-gram-vinyl","title":"Dirty Mind [Explicit Content] (150 Gram Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirty Mind\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is the third studio album by American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Prince. It was released on October 8, 1980 and produced entirely by Prince at his home studio in Minneapolois earlier that year from May to June.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.8333px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDirty Mind\u003c\/i\u003e has been considered by critics to be his most creative and boldest album, setting the standard for his artistic direction in the following years.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSide one\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Dirty Mind\" (written by Prince and Doctor Fink)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"When You Were Mine\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Do It All Night\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Gotta Broken Heart Again\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSide two\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Uptown\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Head\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Sister\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\"Partyup\" (written by Prince and Morris Day)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 02\/04\/2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581433016553,"sku":"FC3KZR-GKU9-00","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-Dirty-Mind-Explicit-Content-150-Gram-Vinyl_8UbXs.jpg?v=1742240250"},{"product_id":"prince-parade","title":"Parade","description":"Original score composed by Princce \u0026amp; The Revolution.\r\nEngineers include: Susan Rogers, Peggy Mac, Coke Johnson.\r\nPrincipally recorded at Paisley Park Studios, Minneapolis, Minnesota.\r\nAnother soundtrack that fared more favourably than the movie, 'Under The Cherry Moon', from which it came, this was also the record that marked Prince's return to the live arena.

Were it only for the hits--the loopy bounce of \"Delirious,\" the moody slide of \"Little Red Corvette,\" and the irresistible title track (only Prince could have written the ultimate dance song for the turn of the millennium 18 years before the fact)--1999 would be essential. These tracks are as perfect as they are familiar from incessant radio play.\r\nThe rest of 1999 holds up to the radio hits. Loose, nasty grooves like \"D.M.S.R.\" and \"Automatic\" are interspersed with the propulsive shuffle of \"Let's Pretend We're Married\" and the soulful, psychedelic pulse of \"Something In The Water.\" This is not average dance music. Prince's hybrid of rich, trippy atmospherics, '80s synth-y keyboard sounds, lush, asymmetrical harmonies, elements of rock guitar, soulful singing, and strong songwriting--all rolled together with beats--weaves dark, sexual energy into ebullient boogie anthems. 1999 is one of the definitive pop music documents of the '80s.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/10\/2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581676482793,"sku":"WX99B7-8LZG-00","price":41.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-1999_8XGT6.jpg?v=1759167268"},{"product_id":"prince-1999-explicit-content-150-gram-vinyl-2-lps","title":"1999 [Explicit Content] (150 Gram Vinyl) (2 Lp's)","description":"\u003cp\u003e1999 [Explicit Content] (150 Gram Vinyl) (2 Lp's) is a Records \u0026amp;

His trademark mix of funk, R\u0026amp;B, and rock is at its grandest and most ambitious here. As usual, the multi-talented artist produced the album and provides most of the instrumentation himself. The elegantly unfolding sonic tapestry is marked by lush multitracked vocal harmonies, hard-grooving rhythms, and a kaleidoscope of keyboard colors and thick guitar tones.\nIn keeping with the rest of the artist's discography, the reigning sentiment here is sensuality. A classic moment occurs on \"Hot Wit U,\" where guest artist Eve offers a randy, explicit rap to which Prince responds by rhapsodizing about \"the astral plane.\" It's this combination of high-minded spirituality and pure physicality that lies at the heart of JOY FANTASTIC's artistic tension and its ultimate aesthetic success. Delicate ballads like \"Tangerine\" share space with straight-up 4\/4 rockers like \"So Far, So Pleased\" and the slow-jam R\u0026amp;B of the romantic \"The Sun, the Moon and Stars.\" In a rare drop of the monolithic uber-artist mantle, the artist offers a deliciously funked-up cover of Sheryl Crow's \"Everyday Is a Winding Road.\" Crow herself makes a guest appearance on the broken-hearted R\u0026amp;B lament \"Man'O'War.\"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/26\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582765297897,"sku":"44R8BT-Z4TX-00","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/prince-rave-un2-the-joy-fantastic-2-lp-150g-vinyl-purple-vinyl-includes-download-insert_VFPDN.jpg?v=1759171304"},{"product_id":"prince-naked-in-the-summertime-volume-2-import","title":"Naked In The Summertime Volume 2 [Import]","description":"\u003cp\u003eNaked In The Summertime Volume 2 [Import] is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Prince\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/01\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582895026409,"sku":"O7K8EG-FOH9-00","price":36.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Prince-Naked-In-The-Summertime-Volume-2-Import_hFNIP.jpg?v=1759140086"},{"product_id":"prince-the-truth","title":"The Truth","description":"The Truth is widely regarded as one of Prince’s most underappreciated hidden gems. The album was originally released as an accompaniment to the 1998 triple album Crystal Ball, which marked the first time that Prince released an album totally independently. The Truth was also the first Prince album to be labeled “acoustic,” though it does contain electronic instruments and elements, and it gave listeners an unprecedented chance to hear his songwriting and voice in a stripped-down presentation.

A better comparison, however, is the 1993 set The Hits\/The B-Sides, which contained two discs of hits -- also available separately -- and a disc of otherwise unavailable flip sides. 4Ever covers this same territory, even working the B-side \"Gotta Stop (Messin' About)\" and the majestic 1982 outtake \"Moonbeam Levels\" into its 40 tracks, bypassing anything released after 1993 due to licensing reasons. This means his last Top Ten hit, 1994's \"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,\" is absent, as are the other singles he released in the subsequent 23 years, but they're not missed as much as his own version of \"I Feel for U,\" \"Money Don't Matter 2 Night,\" the minor hit \"Let's Pretend We're Married,\" or \"Erotic City,\" \"17 Days,\" \"How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore,\" and \"Another Lonely Christmas,\" all B-sides that could easily have been included in a definitive compilation. This, along with the odd non-chronological sequencing, means 4Ever isn't definitive, but in terms of consumer value, it might be the best single Prince compilation because it rounds up the great majority of his '80s and early-'90s hits -- including such singles as \"Let's Work,\" \"Mountains,\" \"Girls \u0026amp; Boys,\" and \"Batdance,\" all absent from previous Prince compilations -- in a convenient package. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/22\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586094166249,"sku":"MHGRTH-BZWF-00","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/prince-4ever_jJjag.jpg?v=1759410371"},{"product_id":"prince-the-revolution-purple-rain-12-single","title":"Purple Rain (12\" Single)","description":"Prince \u0026amp; The Revolution: Prince (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Wendy Melvoin (vocals, guitar); Lisa Coleman, Matt \"Dr.\" Fink (vocals, keyboards); Brown Mark (vocals, bass); Bobby Z (percussion).\r\nAdditional personnel: Apollonia (vocals); Novi Novog (violin, viola); David Coleman, Suzie Katayama (cello).\r\nEngineers include: Susan Rogers, Peggy Mac, David Riukin.\r\nA soundtrack to a movie so appalling that it is infinitely wiser to let the record stand on its own merits. While Prince cavorted in purple kitchen foil and rode his Harley in high heels, the real star of the film, the music, was doing all the talking. A knit of funk and rock, a heavily stylized Hendrix guitar lick here and there, and a wilfully danceable backbeat all made for a huge commercial smash, and the first real international introduction for many people to a star-in-waiting.

On the groove- savvy DIAMONDS AND PEARLS, the diminutive one made an impressive rebound after the less-than-stellar GRAFFITI BRIDGE, with his most consistent and vibrant album since 1987's brilliant SIGN O' THE TIMES. Apparently aware of the powerful influence of groups like NWA, Public Enemy and Tribe Called Quest, Prince tried his hand at the harder genre, unleashing vocalist Tonio M. for cocky raps on songs like \"Daddy Pop\" and \"Willing and Able.\"\nAs always, Prince indulges happily in his erotic wanderings, with the guttural grooves and propositions of \"Cream\" and \"Gett Off\" leaving little to the imagination. However, it is the laid-back groove of the insightful and simply sung \"Money Don't Matter\" which is the quiet highlight of DIAMONDS AND PEARLS. A thoughtful reflection on disillusionment in love, business and politics, \"Money Don't Matter\" is perhaps Prince's most overlooked four-minute masterpiece.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/1\/1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586557440233,"sku":"T7VI5E-K04Y-00","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/prince-diamonds-and-pearls_vehdS.jpg?v=1759328317"},{"product_id":"prince-come-pa","title":"Come [PA]","description":"Prince \u0026amp; The New Power Generation: Prince (vocals); Mayte (background vocals); Tommy Barbarella, Sonny T., Michael B., Mr. Hayes.\nAdditional personnel: Eric Leeds (flute); Mike Nelson, Kathy Jensen, Dave Jensen, Brian Gallagher, Steve Strand (horns); Ricky Peterson (keyboards); Airiq Anest (programming); Kathleen Bradford (background vocals).\nEngineers: Chronic Freeze, Ray Hahnfeldt, Tom Tucker, Prince (all tracks).\nRecorded at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, Minnesota; The Record Plant and Larrabee Sound Studios, Los Angeles, California.\nAll songs written or co-written by Prince.\nComposer: Prince.\nPersonnel: Prince (vocals, background vocals); Eric Leeds (flute); Dave Jensen, Steve Strand, Kathy Jensen, Micah Nelson, Brian Gallagher (horns); Ricky Peterson (keyboards); Airiq Anest (programming); Jearlyn Steele Battle (sampler); Kathleen Bradford, Mayte (background vocals).\nAudio Mixers: Ray Hahnfeldt; Chronic Freeze; Prince; Tom Tucker.\nRecording information: Chanhassen, MN; Larrabee Sound Studios, Los Angeles, CA; Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN; Record Plant Studios, Los Angeles, CA; The Record Plant, Los Angeles, CA.\nUnknown Contributor Roles: Mike Nelson; Michael Nelson ; Mr. Hayes; New Power Generation.\nArranger: Prince.\nFor the artist intermittently known as Prince, the notion of spiritual death and rebirth has become the predominant theme in his work. Thus on the track \"Solo,\" with its eerie liturgical ambience, sampled thunder and moody harp, Prince sings a keening falsetto confession: \"Solo, my name is no one.\"\nAccepting all that as a given, this richly orchestrated set has the exploratory sound and feel of a classic Prince album, except that COME seems to be an attempt to explicate his legend once and for all (\"Letitgo\"), to make way for a new...well, your guess is a good as ours.\nThe title tune mixes carnal and spiritual imagery in the classic Prince manner, as that ecstatic voice testifies over jazzy horns, big-band chord changes and a fat, greasy backbeat (\"If you had a chance to see the future, would you try?\"). Elsewhere, the sampled waves which open and close COME act as a recurring leitmotif, as Prince explores a series of jumpy dance grooves (\"Pheromone\" and \"Loose!\"), a moody tale of child abuse (\"Papa\"), a strutting R\u0026amp;B\/hiphop anthem (\"Race\"), a brassy gospel-blues confessional (\"Dark\") and an explicit girl-guitar ecstasy (\"Orgasm\"). On COME, Prince appears before us one last time, a reminder of things past, a harbinger of revolutions to come.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/16\/1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586846028009,"sku":"MEE5DR-3OU6-00","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/prince-come-pa_i2hlZ.jpg?v=1758822772"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/collections\/image_c1a01315-f3c4-4861-979d-f4e6b8f01b9c.webp?v=1746246352","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/collections\/prince.oembed?page=2","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
