Recommendations
Reviews
- This purple gem is a quality pressing. Everything sounds crisp, no pops or noise. I bought this one new from Target and it came out of the sleeve smudged/scuffed on Side B, but not even a wash would get rid of them. Otherwise, the album looks and plays beautifully. Extra props for the awesome poster of Prince and the Revolution included in the sleeve.
- Was lucky enough to find this in a local public library book shop for $1. As far as I know it's the same mastering as any other original CD of this album, and it sounds great. Nice to have for the collectability alone but what else can you say, It's freaking Purple Rain!
- This pressing sounds incredible. You hear every element that went into it. Prince and the revolution were truly one of a kind.
- Wow. This sounds soooooo good. After being annoyed with the target all purple pressing, I decided to just hunt down a mint copy of this. So glad I did. Dead silent vinyl
- I don’t have an OG to compare and they seems to be conjecture as whether it is better or worse than this reissue. All I know is that this sounds magnificent. Quality from start to finish, quiet flat vinyl. Top artwork replicates OG. Embossed cover with nice poster. And more importantly priced accordingly. Great value, enjoy!!!
- There are moments of real clarity and beauty on this pressing. Then, other times, I’m not sure. My copy was cleaned but may need another scrubbing. A lot of presence on this record, though.
- Has low-level noise running throughout my copy (and a minor warp), not that noticeable when the music is playing but obvious in the silent or quiet sections. Sounds good when the music is playing and looks nice but nothing like an audiophile disc.

Is a separate release of the 'MADE IN CANADA' required?- Nice thick beautiful slab of wax, and no complaints about how it sounds either. Less compressed than I'm used to, more dynamic and full bodied. My copy was purchased "like new" but has a few scuffs on each side and a skip on "When Doves Cry"...but for $14 I'll survive.
