Gestern vor 41 Jahren wurde Prince Album "Purple Rain" veröffentlicht. 1985. Dem Jahr, als ich auf Austausch in die USA fuhr.

Habe ihm zum Gedenken (und an meine Jugend auch) das ganze Album durchgehört — so, wie es Nick Hornby vor einiger Zeit vorschlug, denn Alben sind ganze Werke; nun bin ich sentimental drauf.

Wünsche mir von @nudiscowilli einen Remix von Darling Nikki, komm Darling, call me up, whenever you wanna grind...

Purple Rain

Released on June 25, 1984 and added to the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" in 2012. It's #8 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
