Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Featuring the debut of Prince's first band -the Revolution, PURPLE RAIN was a concerted effort to court rock audiences. The results were overwhelmingly positive, spawning two number-1 hits When Doves Cry and Let's Go Crazy. The critics raved over the album while its music dominated the airwaves during 1983 and 1984.

Certified at 13 million units by the RIAA. (2/01)

Amazon.com

Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, revolutionary as it did in 1984 (and nothing else has ever sounded like the extraordinary cooing and fluttering of "When Doves Cry"), but it's a pop landmark in Prince's Artist-ic career. The hit movie was really just a big-screen showcase for Prince to perform these songs (some of them in tear-the-roof-off "live" versions set in a Minneapolis club). I don't know why that warped sermonette introduces "Let's Go Crazy" (one thing you've got to love about Prince: he's always been weird), but somehow I'm glad it's there. Other highlights include the sexual scorcher "Darling Nikki" (with its crazy backwards coda) and that anthemic title tune. Don't you miss Wendy and Lisa, too? --Jim Emerson

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Edition of a Seminal Album
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023
Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful edition of this great album. "Purple Rain" was the VERY first album I ever purchased. I picked it up at release after having saved up my allowance for cleaning my bedroom and taking out the trash lol! So to buy it again, on vinyl, takes me back a few decades.

This is a gorgeous release. The foil accents on the cover are beautiful, and the poster is pretty cool. The music sounds great too. The 2015 Paisley Park remaster was very well done imo.

At this price, you're not going to get a better edition of a better album. This is a must-own album whether you're a die-hard Prince fan, a casual listener, or just someone who appreciates music in general!

I love this album, from start to finish. I spun my old one probably 100 times or more. It’s nice to have a fresh copy, and this final sounds absolutely amazing. If you’re a fan of purple rain, you owe it to yourself to have this on vinyl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to The Purple One!
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016

I always meant to get into Prince's music while he was alive, but I kept putting it off. Yesterday, when he passed, I thought "Better late than never." & got this hoping I'd get some R&B rock songs similar to "Givin Em What They Love", the song Janelle Monae did with him on her album The Electric Lady. Thankfully, I got that and more.

As a black, queer misfit I found myself relating to almost every track on the album. Prince was known for his lewd performances and lyrics, but he can also be introspective and empowering. My favorite tracks lyrically were "Let's Go Crazy", "The Beautiful Ones", "When Doves Cry", "I Would Die For You" "Baby I'm A Star", and "Purple Rain".

Production wise, I was very satisfied on the R&B rock front but there is also some funk, pop, and a dash of drum and bass too. Also impressive were Prince's vocals; he hits high notes, screams, and sings in a husky, sexy voice.

If you are a black queer person or anybody who has felt out of place and you need music that gets you, get this. If you like rock, R&B, funk, and/or pop, get this. Get this and stand in the Purple Rain.

Rest in Purple, Prince. Thanks for the tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars In His Purple Majesty's Not So Secret Service
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016

A perfect record that stands head and shoulders above the competition of the day and still holds up as fresh and relevant.
Released in the summer of 1984- this album served as both a supplement to the film of the same name and vice versa.
The song craft is brilliant- marrying elements of rock, funk, new wave, r&b, soul and even ambient.
The musicianship is top notch. Prince's prowess on guitar rivals even that of Eddie Van Halen, but he could sing and dance as well as shred AND play keys and drums with equal alacrity. The Revolution (the band) also add their own signature styles as musicians to this record to make it the pinnacle of his releases having been certified "Diamond" with the RIAA.
Standout cuts to me personally were the lesser known songs 'The Beautiful Ones' in which he incorporates a Smokey Robinson falsetto with James Brown style screams over a slow synth grind with lilting piano jabs and the pseudo psychedelic jazz funk number 'Computer Blue' that falls into a melodic guitar solo that wouldn't be out of place in a Beethoven composition.
well worth the time of anyone who loves great music that will never be stale.

Am so impressed... have the original on vinyl and this one sounds so much richer and vibrant. Saw a segment on the Tonight Show about it and hit amazon up (since they referenced amazon as a source) It arrived in perfect condition, the heavier grain surprisingly played on my 61 Zenith High fidelity with EXTREME STEREO and REVERB which always makes me laugh but at the time it was the best so to speak. Usually old consoles have issue with the heavier press but it played flawlessly and sounded amazing . Surprisingly was very moved by his passing... usually as a vet scoff at all the over coverage of stars dying when soldiers die in these wars weekly and no one even notices... But Prince and Chris Cornell effected me for they were stars that traversed my life. Now hearing this remastered by Prince himself seems to honor his music and reflect on his genius. Recommend this to anyone who loves vinyl it is worth the price even if you have original like i do. It is beautiful in the new pressing and an improved version of a classic album !
