^ No please. But still the facts tells a story, right?

I guess, but I can see your post starting another one of those arguments about who's better.

Also, do you happen to have a translation for the article you posted?

^ It's not an article, but a 26 page magazine from 1985,

it's mostly pics, I don't have a translation, sorry.

It's not my favorite album, but I still love a lot of the songs. I wish "Irresistible Bitch" and "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?" would've been included. They're two of my all time favorite Prince songs.

My favorite songs from 1999 are: All The Critics Love U In New York - Lady Cab Driver - Little Red Corvette - D.M.S.R. -- in that order.

Not a big fan of: 1999, Something In The Water, International Lover -- they're not bad, but they're some of my least favorite 'classic era' songs.

I could probably translate it myself, but I'd have to type it all out on my computer, then run it through a translator program. It's not really worth it, though.

no believe me, it is not worth it, since this is so old, the magazine.

It really doesn't tell anything "new" or interesting.

But those pics are very good imo.

Too bad I don't have that poster, original included.

^ yes!

I agree, "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" is a fave!! it was included on the cassette tape only. On the 1983 release, the one only including the half of the songs. I remember buying this cassette tape for this song only, I just had to have everything by Prince - back then.

I didn't know it was on the cassette. I have a cassette player, so I might look for a copy. It's probably hard to find that particular cassette, though.

This is a picture I found on another thread:

Is this the version you're talking about?

Too bad it's missing my favorite song ('Critics'). Maybe I won't get it.

Why does it say 2 extra tracks not available on the album?

I admit it's been a while since I listened to the album - a crime I will set right this w/end. The whole thing is a masterpiece, but sides 2,3 and 4 are just a mind-bending experience and still delight, surprise, shock and make one stand back in awe of it.

Very visual for me, does that make sense? I get a really strong sense of visuals and a cohesive universe to this world Prince potrays on the album through the music. It's an adventure, quite dream-like. I feel very cloistered when I listen to 1999, headphones and me, and I don't want anyone else to intrude - if it's a party album, I want to be the only host and the only guest!

I friggin HATE the 1999 album.

whoa, why? I'm honestly curious and not out to change your mind on it

The songs all meander too long and are for the most part, unimaginative. Its a record just full of prolonged vulgarity dressed up as supposed art for shock value. The writing is also very lazy and the computer tricks a yawn. Kraftywerk did it first and much better. Those drum patterns..wack. The whole package and design..gtfoohwtbs! Those crazy assed costumes, his ass on a pillow, and that band looking like a buncha halloween rejects!

How could any self respecting fan like the 1999 album? They suck if they do!

Only awful fans hate this work of art

October 27, 1982 will be its 30th birthday this year.

I'm sayin'. The op posting up anniversary posts 10 months before the actuall anniversary. Geez.

Hey its ATWIAD's almost 30th anniversary!(ina few years but lets...)

catpark said:

Now that has all of a sudden made me feel very old

YOU feel old? I first got this album on a stinkin' 8-Track cartridge. On it I think "1999" & "DMSR" were the first two songs, and if i recall "Lady Cab Driver" was split between two tracks with a fade out... BTW apologies to the 30 & Under crowd -- this probably sounds like gibberish

Well you basically said the album was bullshit. I didn't know if you were saying it truthfully or if you were just trying to get someone mad.

Oh and to thedance, Musical Youth and Eddy Grant preceded Prince on MTV.
