Reimagined Purple Rain album cover

Hey look at this that I found on the Xfm website.
Becks are doing a re-inspired classic album covers feature.

Sort of gives it a 1999 feel I reckon....

Truly awful.
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

"Prince used a lot of hand drawn illustrations in his album and single artwork"

It's an interesting point that the artist makes.

I guess it's difficult because the Purple Rain album cover is literally ingrained in the mind of millions of people.

The idea behind the re-imagined album cover does make sense though - especially when you think it was sandwiched between 1999 and ATWIAD

Nope.

And not because the Purple Rain album cover is ingrained in my brain. It's because it's not good. It doesn't have the originality of 1999 or the art of ATWIAD. It's just bad.




I don't know...hmmm Maybe against a black light and a blunt.

It looks like the 80's as viewed by someone who wasn't actually there. Awful.
