Featuring iconic tracks like Little Red Corvette and 1999, this album remains a defining moment in 80s music and a must-have for any fan. Review: WOW! - So after all these years of owning this on cassette, CD, and iTunes, I finally get the newly remastered vinyl version, and it most definitely does NOT disappoint! Beautiful sound and quality, just as wonderfully cared for and put together as you would hope! One extra special little thing about it I wish to add: When I first opened this up, I at first thought that there was either a poster in it or the disks weren't present; as it turned out, Paisley Park did something I wish other vinyl rereleases would do; they've enclosed perfect recreations of the original album's record sleeves - and they really are sleeves, make no mistake - but instead of putting the vinyls in them, they instead put them in two ADDITIONAL jet black hued sleeves for safe keeping so that you don't have to use or wear out the original sleeves if you don't want to. Very thoughtful! :) Review: Not as accessible as "Purple Rain", but fans of the style and of (poppier) Prince will still love it! - I'm going to make the claim that Prince's "1999" isn't as cool as "Purple Rain" (this one starts off worse, at least), but if you like Prince or pop music then you're going to love it anyway. Every song here is great straight-up pop music and everything about it is well done. Prince is still a great singer here, although I WOULD argue that he's more of a guilty pleasure here than he is on "Purple Rain". That's not too much of an issue, but it's something to keep in mind. I would argue that, if you're not into Prince or pop music all that much, then this isn't the Prince album to get. "1999" is the most accessible song here, I think - it's a relatively sweet dance track. Anyways - the musical style here is pretty similar to "Purple Rain", too, as it's essentially new wave, pop and a little hard rock thrown in to make one interesting sounding package - it's definitely 80's, though (it's a tad dated sounding). Its historical importance and style definitely add to its rating and worth. The lyrics are usually pretty interesting and catchy, so they're also worth paying attention to. Overall, I think that this is still an awesome and original Prince album, but I don't think non-Prince or pop music fans will like it necessarily. They might, but the chances of this are less so than on "Purple Rain". If you like the style, though, this is a great CD to own! Highly recommended! Highlights include: the entire album! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09MTXLQHK | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,088 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #273 in R&B (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,725) | | Date First Available | December 10, 2021 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2022 | | Product Dimensions | 5.6 x 4.9 x 0.4 inches; 1.6 ounces | | Run time | 1 hour and 10 minutes | ## Images ![1999 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yoctFozjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! *by S***N on March 1, 2026* So after all these years of owning this on cassette, CD, and iTunes, I finally get the newly remastered vinyl version, and it most definitely does NOT disappoint!
