Purple Rain cover / How does one contact Ps legal team ? 
Prince surely hasn't authorised this version of Purple Rain. I am definately NOT a supporter of Prince's web-censorship (and copyright wrangles) etc of late but this is definately a case for Prince's legal team. This must be THE worst ever cover of Purple Rain. And apparently it's been played alot on the radio recently !!!!! Larz Kristerz is a Swedish group in the genre dansband (dance-band) that won a reality series competition recently. Being Scandinavian (ref. Norwegian 5 disc tribute fiasco) I don't think they will have checked out the legal side before releasing. So I do I get in touch with Princes legal team ? Cos this Purple Rain is scandalous in the extreme ! [Edited 2/18/09 1:38am] | |

You'll have to hand deliver it to him. Just stroll up to him during one of his pre-show sound-checks , in a wheelchair and hand him the album. [Edited 2/18/09 1:33am] Error Message:

moderatorAs a completist, I must have this. The LP cover has "quality material inside" written all over it. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

[Edited 2/18/09 1:33am] Hang on, does that remind me of that dude who asked how to meet Prince, because he was in a wheelchair or something?  | |

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |

I always assumed that to get the green light to cover a Prince song, a person (and/or band) had to approach Prince, drop to thier knees, kiss his pointy boots and one of his pinky rings. And then if Prince took a shine to him, some one slipped the royalties to him in a purple suitcase and backed away, all the while not daring to look him in the eye.
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me. Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots. Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol. Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol. Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch | |

i'm sure prince would love this version, especially with the embellishment of the ?castinets & could be easily inspired by the outfits on those foxy guys  | |

That's how it's done! To get the green light from Prince is harder than meeting the pope!love the one who is Love! | |
