Great choice. You just bought the best one.

I had that and Purple Rain on vinal and have no idea what happened to them. I am so mad at myself. Who knew that vinal would disappear?

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.

The first P cd i bought, i had wild adventures with it the first night i bought it.
A good cd to start with.

it's good the first time but it grows and gets better each time you listen to it

Awesome purchase !!

It's so underrated (yes even with all the praise and love it gets, I feel it deserves even more! )

There are two versions of 1999 - early versions are missing DMSR

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.

Betta have D.M.S.R. or you take it back, right now!

Shame they left that off...

Revolution said:

Mine has D.M.S.R on it.

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..

1999 is my favorite Prince album, and my favorite song on it is Automatic.

All the songs are great! I remember listening to lady cab driver for the first time.... It was crazy...!!!

Love that album

sorry sermwanderer, that was "Sign O' Times. It's all good, "cause that album was great too....!!!

mifrend said:

what you on about?

that's just a quote I always have as my sig, I know what album Housequake is on

Sign O' The Times is great though, correct

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?

Revolution said:

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.
