I've been looking at some pretty cool hardback books on entertainers(alive and deceased)

I'm assuming some will come of Prince in the future. I just bought one called

Streets of Fire

Bruce Springsteen in

Photographs and Lyrics 1977-1979

most of the lyrics and photographs are revolved around his

The Promise album
The Lost Sessions:Darkness on the Edge of Town

and the official album Darkness on the Edge of Town

this is pretty cool too, it is a booklet 2 discs lyrics lots of photos and history behind the recording session

I would love to see something like this 4 Prince for each album/year/era

I think the closest Prince came to doing something like this was the 21Nights book, but without (Planet Earth sessions outtakes)

I would steer clear of the style of 21 Nights . . . overly Photoshopped, overly "staged", minimal background story, etc.

I would want a somewhat detailed biography, with plenty of career-spanning photos of Prince, bandmembers, etc.

The Sacrifice Of Victor was a really nice book, just wish there was more to actually read in it.

Yes I agree, more background to the making of the music, some of the tour, the concept etc

I was just looking at my 21Nights too too glitzy some cool photos though

something like the beatles anthology book would be very cool

this could be the cover of 'the Piano Sessions of Purple Rain:1983-1984'

I would want a book where he talks about the inspiration for all of his songs and what they personally meant to him.

Is this supposed to be a fantasy?
