5yrs (almost)... It all started at Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim CA, May 24, 2004. I think that date is right. It was the Arrowhead Pond Musicology performance that turned my world purple.

In 1979, I was at our local Target, and while looking through records, I came across a K-Tel compilation called Soundwaves. I wanted it because it had "funkytown" from Lipps, Inc. on it, as well as "Let's Get Serious" from Jermaine Jackson and "Upside Down" from Diana Ross. My mom bought it for me. Then I hear this weird guy with a high voice singing "I Wanna Be Your Lover". His pic was on the back of the album, and he just looked odd to me. From then on, I was totally into all things Prince.

By the way, I now have TWO copies of Soundwaves on vinyl. It was never issued on CD. But I have recreated the track list in iTunes, so I can still listen to the album as it was in 1979.

I put the track listing on my Last.FM page:
http://www.last.fm/user/e...from_k-tel

Here is the track list:
1. Diana Ross – Upside Down
2. Lipps, Inc. – Funkytown
3. The Spinners – Cupid/I've Loved You For A Long Time
4. Jermaine Jackson – Let's Get Serious
5. Prince – I Wanna Be Your Lover
6. Meco – The Empire Strikes Back
7. KISS – I Was Made for Loving You
8. Pat Benatar – You Better Run
9. Robbie Dupree – Steal Away
10. Rocky Burnette – Tired of Toein' the Line
11. Pure Prairie League – Let Me Love You Tonight
12. Captain & Tennille – Do That to Me One More Time
13. Air Supply – Lost in Love
14. Ali Thompson – Take a Little Rhythm
15. Benny Mardones – Into the Night

Became a fan in 1984,but after ATWIAD I drifted off for awhile (1986-2007) I knew of certain songs,but did'nt really buy anything,and then last year,one night I was in my room looking through my CD's trying to find something to listen to,and came upon the Purple Rain soundtrack. I hadn't listened to it for a long time so I threw it in the player,and instantly fell in love again. I then got on the computer to see what other releases he might of brought out since I listened to him,and that's when I found the Org,and quickly realized how much music I missed out on,and I don't plan on drifting away again.

Since 1983(and hearing 1999). I was 10

same here... was 12 yrs old then

since 94, so 15 years.

about 8 years

Bought my first tape in Dec 1992, so I am in my 17th year as a Prince fan.

20 years and it's still my dream to meet him one day.

About 11 years, since I was a young and tender sophomore in high school.

Since 'Controversy' and 'Do Me Baby'... so about 28 years.

1999 made me a dedicated fan.

Since 1982? I was 15 or so. Heared P in a club (my cousin would sneak me in to clubs w/ his bands when I was underage so that I could see them play- back then drinking age was 18 in NY so wasnt all that hard to get away with. Most club owners didnt care back in the 80's- they didnt have all the undercover busts back then where they would send underage in w/ fake ids trying to bust clubowners for letting in underage patrons... at least not until the mid 80's did they start really doing that). Fell in love w/ P's music immediately, and had to race out and buy his music just to lay eyes on the man who let out such sexy squeals, and sang w/ such passion about such taboo subjects...

since 1998 when he was still known as

I wasn't a fan until the SNL performance back in Feb 2006. But every since then I've been a die-hard

since Jam of The Year tour 98

20 years, since I was 4.

Me too, but I knew who he was before that, I was just not allowed to listen to him to much before this.
