Walmart Exclusive - Purple Rain Picture Disc

Did anyone unpack this and actually played it?

I assume it's the "clean" version since Walmart never sells anything with original "dirty" lyics.

It's pretty cool looking but I haven't opened it so I don't know for sure

Just got mine today. Didn’t play it but it looks great and had a cool poster with it. The back has a different picture on side B compared to the other Purple Rain picture discs.

So this is a reissue of the original Mexican releae right? The transparanet sleeve is exactly the same as the Mexican one.

Except the Walmart reissue sleeve is in English and has a different photo on the other side of the disc.

There are no curse words on Purple Rain. Unless you are talking about "masturbating"?

To think that this is album that sparked the Parental Advisory label. This album is tame by comparison, even among Prince releases.

"Darling Nikki"'s still pretty bold. It's tamer, "tame" is a little hyperbole. Society's probably caught up to "Darling Nikki" content, but it would still be bold today. Just not as pearl-clutching as it was justiably in 1984 for a #1 pop / movie star to have this on their #1 record.

I've seen Use Your Illusion II on sale at Walmart, so I can confirm this!
