Episode # 4 – Purple Rain – The Covers
This summer marks the 25th anniversary of Prince’s epic movie/soundtrack/media tsunami that we remember as Purple Rain. I was 20, and just moved to NYC and could feel what this thing was doing to the club/disco fashion scene. I was already deep into the New Ro scene and needless to say my wardrobe expanded with more leather, lace and eyeliner. But enough about me.
I thought it might be interesting to hear Purple Rain as a covers record. I have had a few tracks that I particularly liked, and had to dig for a few other. They are listed below. Hope you enjoy it. Love it or hate it, leave a comment. Not only does it tell me what you think, but it also enters you into this month’s content -$25 50 gift certificate to Amazon or iTunes and a copy of The Dirt, the Motley Crew Story that I about ready to crack open. Thanks for following us on Twitter, and thanks for being you.
