Customer Rating: 
Summary: Prince at his best!
Comment: We love this CD. The music from the movie Purple Rain is very good and a must-have for any fan of Prince.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The worst Price album I've heard
Comment: I love 1999, Controversy, Sign O the Times, etc., but I don't like this album. Prince sounds so stiff and soulless on "Purple Rain," like Al Gore singing Ray Charles. Also "When Doves Cry" is just annoying. A long drop from Little "Red Corvette" and the like.

Summary: What else can I say!!!
Comment:
It's late and I need something to listen to that not only is musically inspiring, but can be played over and over again. This soundtrack is the one that got me through several girlfriends and hasn't lost a beat.
Customer Rating:
Summary: She's Never Satisfied
Comment: Despite the film, excellent music. It is Prince at his more commercial, but the music is still fantastic.

Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, revolutionary as it did in 1984 (and nothing else has ever sounded like the extraordinary cooing and fluttering of "When Doves Cry"), but it's a pop landmark in Prince's Artist-ic career. The hit movie was really just a big-screen showcase for Prince to perform these songs (some of them in tear-the-roof-off "live" versions set in a Minneapolis club). I don't know why that warped sermonette introduces "Let's Go Crazy" (one thing you've got to love about Prince: he's always been weird), but somehow I'm glad it's there. Other highlights include the sexual scorcher "Darling Nikki" (with its crazy backwards coda) and that anthemic title tune. Don't you miss Wendy and Lisa, too? --Jim Emerson
