@POWERPLANTRECORDS | PowerPlantRecords.com | Leave a positive Google review!
Title: Prince And The Revolution – Purple Rain
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1984, Pop, Pop Rock, Minneapolis, MN
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Studio Lore: The project was built as a film + album strategy; key performances were captured in front of a live audience and then shaped into the final record.
-
Scene Ecology: The “Minneapolis sound” was a real local system—Prince’s circle (The Time, Vanity 6, Wendy & Lisa, etc.) fed a whole ecosystem, not just a solo star.
-
Media Narrative: Prince’s gender/sexual ambiguity became a national conversation point in ’84, and this era forced mainstream America to engage with it.
