12 minute set, it was awesome. I have a high quality MPG rip which I can send you once you get back.

They played "Te Amo Corazon", "Fury", "Purple Rain", and "Let's Go Crazy". it was sick as hell.

If you do check prince.org - they have my world exclusive FIRST review of "3121" on the frontpage.

/\ :Thumb: - he DEFINATELY stole the show.

stefan - Start with 'Purple Rain' - his biggest-selling and most popular album, make sure you get the movie as well.

Then buy "Sign O The Times", his prophetic and eclectically astounding double CD masterpiece from 1987.

I would then suggest you pick up "Dirty Mind" from 1981, and "Parade: Soundtrack to 'Under The Cherry Moon'" from 1986.

Then, buy the triple CD set "The Hits/The B-Sides", and continue on your own based upon which songs from there you enjoy the most.

Big thanx Militant very considerate of you.

I did read your review on the ORG aswell from what you said best thing since LOVESEXY!! mmh, very promising..

ive only heard Black Sweat and Te Amo Corazon from the album so far this Lolita track sounds interesting... i like the Dirty Mind and 1999 Prince so anything from that style i will be :woah:

knowing prince he may try and sell of the BRIT performance on NPGMC as it has Lisa and wendy on, a hot favourite for fans.

Stefan what songs of Prince have you enjoyed as that way we would have an idea what albums you may be into...
although 99% of his fans would say anything from the 80s.. even THE BATMAN sdtrk is funky

the CD or the movie? Amazon is a GREAT place to get Prince stuff, the prices on there are wicked and the shipping is fast. They have a lot of stuff that is hard to find in the shops, or out of print stuff, too.

I think mine is around 350MB...might be hi-definition. U got any other stuff recently? I just got a full 1981 live performance from the Controversy tour, it's awesome.

Sheila killed it on the Brits performance, and she was lookin hot as hell too. Purple Rain is always a crowd pleaser. Did I tell you that I was invited to the 3121 launch/listening party last week? I wrote the first review of it, and it's on prince.org.....so check it out if you want.

purple Rain (CD) is 4.50 in HMV ;)
I dont live in a city, so if i was to go to HMV it would cost me £10 just to get there!! If i bought it online at HMV postage and package would put it past the price i paid for it.;)

/\ yeah when you take that stuff into consideration Amazon is always the best bet. I buy the majority of my music from there nowadays.

/\ yeah ebay is cool too, but you have to bid. whereas with amazon you can get bargains in the "used and new" section and buy 'em straight away.

Purple Rain is a bad-ass album. Did you know that 'Darling Nikki' is the reason that there are Parental Advisory stickers on albums with explicit content? That was the song that started it.

My favorite song from Purple Rain changes from day to day, but usually it's the title track, I would Die 4 U, or Computer Blue....man i seen a live performance the other day of Computer Blue from 1984.....fuuuuck it was bad ass.

You need to get the movie now stefan!!
