Anybody possessing this particular release, could share some scans of the sleeve? I only have the CD and thought of purchasing a copy but shipping costs make it an unlikable choice.- My copy is thick, flat and sound is clear and very dynamic. The variant is too cool and the pictures don’t do it justice. An essential album to have in your collection from one of the most talented and iconic artists in music history. Kudos to Target!
referencing Purple Rain (LP, Album, Specialty Records Corporation Pressing / Lake Design Dust Sleeve) 25110-1
This sounds excellent. Soundstage is big, the synths sound spectacular. Never felt the need to upgrade from this one.referencing Purple Rain (LP, Album, Specialty Records Corporation Pressing / Lake Design Dust Sleeve) 25110-1
Masterpiece. This original pressing sounds spectacular. I see zero need to buy a reissue when you can get a clean OG for about the same price. Can’t imagine the audio could be too much improved. Mine has a promo stamped sleeve which I always enjoy collecting even if the labels aren’t promo…especially when there never were special promo labels made.- Edited one month agoAlbum Revolution #4: Dearly Beloved!!!! Yeah, Yeah, I know I'm going to get the booooo's for this one, but I'm sorry, this is not Prince's best album. Now, that's not to say that it's not still the bomb!, and it WAS the album that put Prince into the stratosphere! Every song is the bomb, period, and it was a great support system for the "Motion Picture".... The album starts off on an incredible note in "Let's Go Crazy".....The outright power of that joint it just incredible, especially with one of "Prince's" greatest guitar solos of all time!!!! "Take Me With U" (featuring Appollonia) is a nice offering, not really powerful, but very nice all the same...The Crown Jewel in "The Beautiful Ones" is in the class of those slow jams that he started to perfect...."Computer Blue" just "Rocks", while "Darling Nikki" just puts your mind in the gutter...The classics "I Would Die 4 U" and "Baby I'm A Star" are absolute standouts...The last 2 Crown Jewels are as follows..."When Doves Cry".... I will like to ask a question... Doesn't "When Doves Cry" sends shivers down your spine? Then last, but certainly not lease, "Purple Rain"....Just wait!!!! Yeah, It's like that!!!!!! This album made "Prince" the megastar that I'm sure he was craving...I am glad he never tried to duplicate this though, because that would be straight up impossible!!!!! So, even though I don't consider this his best, IT IS A PRINCE CLASSIC!!!!
- Aside from minor distortion in Darling Nikki, this sounds absolutely flawless. Super cheap, comes with a great poster, and has no static present or anything else that would ruin the sound. A must-buy for sure
- Considering everything was compressed in the 80ties, this is a very good remastered album, excellent pressing and artwork is top notch.
And of course a brilliant album and his most consistent, a landmark album of the 80ties - Edited one month agothis is using the kevin gray lacquer. i dont own it but shouldn't it sound just as good as the black vinyl version, just with extra picture disc noise?
- This is a repress of https://www.discogs.com/release/10478119-Prince-And-The-Revolution-Purple-Rain?ev=item-vc, correct? Mine has no barcode on the back of the sleeve, but same otherwise as the details on this release page.
