OK-I know this is an old movie, and YES-you simply have to love Prince to even wanna watch it-but for me-it evokes that glorious 80s feel-long lost in the mists of time-The purple one has never again reached such a pinnacle as he did with his band The Revolution, as he did playing The Kid in this semi-autobiographical music fest.It follows the rising sucess of a struggling young musical genius,who goes thru all the angst you d expect from such a film-true love, the ups and downs of quarrelling parents, the fight within himself to become a star, and protect those he loves.The songs are easily his strongest ever-and mixed with the flamboyant outfits, the humour of his nemesis "Morris Day" and his band "The Time" and the sheer glamour of his girl,"Appollonia"-it will remain a personal favourite for many years to come.Tacky but WONDERFUL!!

Sorry to rate OT, but it reads like you're attempting to review the film this album was the soundtrack of, rather than the album itself.

That brings back some memories of the 80's ! It's such a good album. Sorry for low rating but you need to say more about it - try listing the tracks, which are the best, which aren't so good and so on. You could add some stuff about Prince himself and the film by the same name and so on. Hope this helps you a little bit. Lexy
Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, ... more
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...
