Just saw this and picked it up, even pictures I've never seen before

SPIN Magazine 25th Anniversary of Purple Rain
the Making of Prince's MasterPiece, NEW interviews RARE photos
Food Fights! Power trips! Jazz Hands!
by Brian Raftery



The 10-page oral history was compiled and written by Brian Raftery, who spoke to most of the key participants in the original project, including Wendy and Lisa, other members of the Revolution and the Time, Rob Cavallo (the film’s producer and Prince’s manager at the time), director Albert Magnoli, and the original screenplay writer William Blynn. Prince and the Time’s main man Morris Day did not participate.

“We did a full court press to get Prince himself involved,” said Brod. “He’s a pretty tough guy to get a hold of, and he doesn’t dwell much on nostalgia.”

on page 56 there is a photo of the Darling Nikki scene w/Apollonia Morris Susan & Brenda

and the part that always identifies whos who in the photos
says Apollonia Morris Day, unidentified actress, and Jill Jones
but it's Apollonia Morris Day, Susan Moonsie and Brenda Bennett

how can people who dig up information to do these kind of reviews/interviews not got the info right, just ask someone


No interview with Prince, BrownMark,
the only (PR) Time members are Jellybean & St Paul

pretty good stuff
didn't realize Lisa sang shadow behind Apollonia to make her voice sound a bit better

OldFriends4Sale said:

Shit I need to find that. It's probably in Borders or Barnes and Noble because I don't think the grocery stores I go to sells that.

NastradumasKid said:

Yeah Borders & Barnes n Nobles should have it

Did you honestly miss the other thread about this (on the homepage no less) or do you just not care?

Prince doesn't want to dwell on a period that he didn't suck..lol

I don't contribute? If you say so. Does your persecution complex extend into your real life or is contained to this board? So sad.
