Princes album "Purple Rain" was realeased 30 yrs ago this week.What memories does the title track have for you ?

I had just started my apprenticeship as a Cabinetmaker and the boss who was 10 yrs older than me was a huge music fan.He had a stereo with a super loud amp connected to it and he played the album over and over for I don't know how long and would dance around the workshop.Yes he was loopy,lol he was a great man for the ladies too and I will always remember the blonde bombshell he was dating at the time,she was sexy as hell.

30 years ago OMG has it been that long. I was 14 & my friends mum had the album & she lent it to me. I was hooked from that first listen. I actually bought it on CD just a few weeks ago. Every bit as good now as it was then

Mr69: Lol! Finally put this on the mp3 library about a month ago. Took me years to find my own Darling Nikki!

"...She took me 2 her castle

And I just couldn't believe my eyes

She had so many devices

Everything that money could buy

She said sign your name on the dotted line

The lights went out

And nikki started 2 grind..."

The first prince album I ever bought was the batman soundtrack in 1989.
