I love this album! its just strong from start to finish! Prince at his very best! I wish a deluxe edition was released of this album! which would include stuff like the extended version of Crazy! outtakes! whatever is locked away in a vault somewhere :) have it packaged in a purple Diary! now thats a seriously cool idea! and I think any Prince fan will agree with me :)

I thoroughly agree with the music4life`s review. This album epitomises the 80`s funk/rock sound. One minor niggle for me though , as a soundtrack ,I would have enjoyed to hear all the bands that appeared in the movie (The Time , Appollonia 6 , The Modernaires etc ) rather than having to purchase separate albums to hear those tracks. But all in all Purple Rain , to me , is an artist at his very best.Every song a winner . Buy It!

One of the most fantastic albums of the 80's, Prince reached worldwide fame with 'purple rain' a perfect document of his orignal talent.

A funk/pop/ rock album for all music fans young and old..and you can't go wrong with the price.
