Purple Rain is great, but this is the Ultimate Prince!
I am going to see Purple Rain at midnight to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary tonight. You can purchase tickets for this once in a lifetime event here.
I was fortunate enough to work on Prince’s last album for Warner Bros. called “Ultimate” and it was truly a golden experience. The 2-cd set features greatest hits and rare 12″ versions, a lot of which appear on cd for the first time on this set. You can read an interview I gave to PopMatters about my work on the project here.

Spin Magazine's Tribute to Purple Rain - Out Now!
It’s hard to believe that Purple Rain, the first movie from rocker Prince, is 25 years old. Spin Magazine has a great cover story that reveals a lot of the untold history behind the making of the film. For example, the amazing singer Jill Jones reveals that when Vanity dropped out of the picture (to do “The Last Temptation of Christ”), Gina Gershon was nearly cast in the role that catapulted Apollonia to stardom. Former Revolution bandmates Wendy and Lisa also talk about how Prince used to be so open-minded, but in recent years, his stringent religious beliefs have squashed his creativity. Happy birthday Purple Rain! The movie, the music, the band-members have changed my life in so many positive ways.
This issue of Spin Magazine, which also features an exclusive mp3 download of covers called “Purplish Rain,” is out now.
