Wow! I still have this album on vinyl somewhere, but not a good pressing. Funny how the UK version looks different than the US version.
I’m going to dig-up the ‘Dirty Mind’ album tonight. I remember everyone being in shock when they saw that album cover back in the day.
This is the single album version with a much superior sound to the US version which is a double album and different cover.
Not as shocked as when he appeared in The Face magazine!
As the picture says,.Prince was born June 7.
And what song,…there are so many,but the first was…Purple Rain

“When You Were Mine”
We don’t seem to have so many Prince-lovers here on the forum,…Strangely,for Prince was one of the major artists in the world.
Maybe it’s because it’s summer and hot outside.
When I added the same post on another forum,.there were hundreds of suggestions for songs.
I am doing a new attempt,…See the post above.

Purple Rain for me… my father ran a pub and we had the single on the Juke Box, which I loved and my father and all the regulars hated, especially the ‘noisy’ guitar climax. Prince is the artist I have most material and seen live the most times.
The birthday was noticed elsewhere in the forums …
… and yes it’s hot and sunny but no rain yet please. The sunny days here are only few and far apart.
His live shows were brilliant. A true musicians musician.
Prince guitar solo is brilliant on this. From 3:30.

Yes this is one outstanding clip.
Damn, guess I’m officially old if I remember buying this on Vinyl some 30 years ago.
This I did not know…
Prince became a Jehovah’s Witness in 2001,.he went around and “knocked door” to try to spread his religious beliefs.
Think that it knocks on the door,.and when you open,Prince stands in front of one

Apparently according to the producer of the show, there was no rehearsal. Prince just turned up and asked to do the last solo. Sort of felt sorry for Mike Mann who did the Eric Clapton solo,s note for note perfectly, then Prince blows them all away. Some of the looks from Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison are priceless.
Raw Talent,.and therefore he is very missing,.in all cases by me.

@GraemeH,.It’s more than brilliant.
Prince Solo is from,.as you say 3.30 and the rest of the song…several minutes.
It’s completely,.utterly incredibly brilliant.
He completely takes over the entire song,.Wow which artist.
You who have not listened,.and looked at this,will repent of your rest of life.

The ego is strong with this one, obviously, but brilliant because of it/in spite of that/regardless.
But the comment on YouTube was the icing on the cake - ‘I bet Prince’s guitar needed a cigarette after that’, haha!
