Dearly Beloved : A Prince Songbook My copy arrived yesterday, its a lovely package with substantial liner notes- each song is listed in the booklet with a quote from the artist about why they chose the song/when they recorded it/ what Prince meant to them.
Its a lovely little tribute to Prince, the kind of thing the Estate should have done but seems beyond them. Its not overblown/ridiculously expensive,but nonetheless its a handsomely-produced package with genuine care given to it. Some rarities (for me, at least) and lots of 'new' (to me) cover versions that are quite interesting. They (the Estate) could do worse than just let Cherry Red handle future Prince releases. Its suppose to be about the music, after all.
Hope this sells well and Cherry Red can do a second collection next year. There's worse ways of keeping Prince's name 'alive' and in the public conciousness. |
