I had Purple Rain or Vinyl,but my friend came over one day to play,and set it under some covers,and then sat on it. Needless to say it was broken,but by then they had it out on CD.

I love the picture with the watercolours and paper, and his sexy back

I love the flow of it and all the synthesizers, I like that and Around the World in a Day much better than Purple Rain.

especially from Let's pretend 2 the end of the album are songs i'm dying 4 him 2 play live... d.m.s.r., automatic, something in the water, lady cab driver, all the critics, free, international lover.... so amazing, so groundbreaking... The minneaopolis sound which he created.... this album influenced other producers for years 2 come. listen 2 janet jackson's control album..

what i wanna know is, are there any songs from the album you heard were the "end all be all" that didnt necessarily hit you that way?

or are there even songs on 1999 you dont care for at all?

would u rather have a novice at matters of the heart....or an expert lover?....then don't complain and appreciate this.....

"today, your love. tomorrow. the world...wish eye could stay, but i'm looking 4 more"

While I agree with you, it's become somewhat of a collector's item fetching a higher price.

IIRC, the 10 track version of 1999 was not available in the states, it was only available as an import from Germany or Japan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but by the time it saw an official US release, it had all 11 tracks.

FREE is absolutely abysmal. "International Lover" is pure filler. The rest of the album is great!!!!!

I'm not crazy about Delirious and Lets Pretend might fall in w/ Delirious but it saves itself in the last few minutes. nod
