..I remember when i bought my 1st purple rain album...it was beautiful..it was the 12in w/the actual purple LP..i ..it so much!..so much,that when i went 2 mexico in the summer i took it with me+my ..when we were in mexico city,we went 2 visit my dad's oldest brother..my uncle memo had 3 sons+1 daughter..they r my favorite blood relatives on that side and i ..them so much!..so much,that at 7yrs old i ended giving them my Purple Rain..i wanted them 2 also experience the joy..it has now been 25yrs since...

..yesterday i had a crazy urge..i didn't understand it..basically,it was an urge 2 get in my car and drive...so i did!..i jumped on the freeway and drove about 5miles..as i passed the exits,1 in particular called my attention..as i got off and started 2 drive maybe 2 miles..i found out what the urge was...a used/new book,record,magazine shop..i had never seen it before..

..i went inside and walked over 2 the LP section...right in front of my face was no other but the 'purple rain' album on top of a stack!!..JACKPOT! ..I FOUND IT!!..it was in mint condition,including the 'doves cry' poster and LP sleeve..i also found these other items:
