I love the 12" covers off of Around the world and Parade.

Best workout, stoner, cleaning, stepping out the shower to stepping out the door, driving song ever!


How i love the America 12" It sure didnt fit radio or the norm in 85, a cut above most records released that year.

strange that his album covers at one time could be considered fine art.

I want a big poster of that for my office.

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

I love the shortened version and the (regular) extended version
They jam
I love the live video as well, they jammed it out similarly
This song and especially the video reminds me of exciting times,
the Purple Rain high was still heavy, he dropped a love album 2 his fans & friends-ATWIAD and when this video came out there was already heavy talk of another movie, Prince & the Revolution were in France and into the Parade transition...

That's what I heard. Kinda why I put "legit" in quotes.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

ATWIAD is actually one of my top 5 favorites
Just like Purple Rain, the B sides are all hot

I love configuring a playlist for this album


My favorite from this album is Condition of the Heart
Like the Dream Factory starts with Visions (Lisa on piano)
The opening piano solo is so haunting and it just pulls me in
I think this is a good intro to the album and end the album on a happy note


Condition Of The Heart
Rapsberry Beret
Shes Always In My Hair (12 inch Version)
Tamborine
Girl (12 Inch Version)
Temptation
America (12 inch Version)
Hello (12 inch Version)
Pop life *regular version
The Ladder
Paisley Park (full version)
Around The World In A Day

This jam is slammin'! It's totally off the chain. I love it.

music boogie music dancing jig

I just heard it for the first time last year and it totally kicks ass. I love how it just keeps on going without it being repetitive, at least to me. Funky as hell! music
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Gorgeous!
I still have them in a box somewhere.
As a kid I spent a lot of time admiring these covers while listening to the records.
I have them carefully packed, still wearing their original protective shrink wrap. ...[in my best Frodo] "prereciousss"
