Product Description Featuring the debut of Prince\'s first band -the Revolution, PURPLE RAIN was a concerted effort to court rock audiences. The results were overwhelmingly positive, spawning two number-1 hits When Doves Cry and Let\'s Go Crazy . The critics raved over the album while its music dominated the airwaves during 1983 and 1984. Certified at 13 million units by the RIAA. (2/01) Amazon.com 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
