NICE .

**1999 was the first album I bought and 1999 was the first album I returned.
I guess stuff like " I want to fuck the taste out of your mouth" was a little too much for me at the age of 8. Couldn't live without it a couple years later.**

hmm must have been lovesexy, back in 1988 , on real vinyl.

CONTROVERSY!! It took all of my little Junior High allowance but man, what mileage I got out of that record until 1999. Oh, by the way it was my Mom who bought me my very first Prince concert ticket. 1999 Tour with the Time and Vanity 6 at the DC Armory. My My, what a night! Hurray for Moms.

And I thought he said "I wanna fuck the tits oudda ya mouth" ha ha oh well ... I had 1999 taken off me when I was about 12 because of the content... I didn't have a clue what he was on about until I was about 30!

Controversy

First album I purchased was Purple Rain... after hearing When doves cry on MTV back in 1984....

I then worked my way backwards through 1999, controversy, dirty mind, prince & for you....

Just in time for the release of around the world in a day...

Purchased every album since then on the first day of release (and replaced all of the earlier releases with CD's during the early 90's)

The Gold Experience. That is when I first got into Prince. The trick is can you name what order and where you bought them?

I owned 1999 and Purple Rain...but my dad bought them for me since I was 12 and 14 and has no $$ at the time.

Purple Rain

My relatives brought me his albums but the first time I brought one myself was the day it came out.
