    This pressing is great. Very pleasantly surprised. Thin vinyl but sounds fab, and I just love that it’s cut as a single continuous track. I used to hate this feature on the CD, but on vinyl it’s somehow a different story.

      This album gives you the best of Prince on only two sides: pop majesty, horny jams, and heaps of eccentricity that never become inaccessible.

      This pressing offers a balanced and warm presentation of this stone-cold classic album. No new or audiophile vinyl required.
