If my memory serves me correctly, this album was first brought to my attention all the way back in 1996 while I was flicking through the (then) latest issue of…..either “3D World” or “Drum Media.” Just in case you don’t know, those are free, mostly music-based newspapers which are distributed weekly in the land down [...]

Prince released the “Diamonds & Pearls” album, his overall fourteenth long-player, in 1991 via his Paisley Park record label. It was the first ever album which was attributed to “Prince and the New Power Generation,” as opposed to “Prince & The Revolution” or simply just “Prince” on his own. It also had a holographic cover. [...]

In early 2005 Prince won an NAACP Award, which is the National Association for the Advancement of Colour People. It was after winning this award that he dazzled the crowd with performances of James Brown’s “Don’t Give Me Nothin I’ll Get It Myself,” Aretha Franklin’s “I’ll Never Love A Man the Way I Love You” [...]

Prince released this album in mid 1996, under the unpronnounceable symbol that he adopted as his name three years prior. The back of the CD booklet featured a message that more or less informed us all that this was the last album full of original material that he released for the label and that the [...]
Come – Prince

Unless you count the greatest hits package, this was the 15th studio album from Prince, who, at the time of its release was going by a symbol with no pronunciation. From what I understand, the “Come” album was originally scheduled for release some time in 1993 with a much more horrendus, animated front cover. I [...]

If you look at the packaging for Prince’s latest three-disc set, you’ll notice that even though he’s the primary artist for the album, he’s also quite obviously trying to focus all the attention on this new chickie that he’s currently working with. Why? Because when you open up its gatefold, digipak cover, the first thing [...]

According to a blog called Dr Funkenberry – the source for all of the latest Prince news and events, when Mr Nelson’s ex-drummer John Blackwell first heard this album, he said that it marked the return of the “Controversy” era. Perhaps this was the way in which he interpreted the songs on this particular album, [...]

In late 2008, Prince announced to the world via an interview with a certain publication that he was gearing up for the release of a brand new album. His previous offerings up until that point had been single discs, but this time he was about to release a mammoth triple-disc set, something that he hadn’t [...]
The Undertaker – Prince

This video tape was released in 1995 alongside another one called “The Sacrifice Of Victor,” both of which were released in order to fulfill Prince’s contract with Warner Brothers Records. Just like most of the video collections released by Prince in the 1990s, as well as the TV specials “Love 4 1 Another” and “The [...]

The official follow up to Prince’s classic double album, “Sign O The Times” was yet another legendary recording known only as “The Black Album,” which was indeed officially released. However while it was on sale, Prince had an after thought, recalled every single copy and demanded that they all be destroyed. Of course the LP [...]
