Hit: 5 Stars
I remember this movie, this soundtrack from back when it was brand new. And I was a small kid, did not understand really what was going on, but dug the music and this musical cat thinking outside the musical box that I knew.
Years pass and I forget (through no conscious decision, rather other music and life factors move me other directions) about this epic album. Then along comes a friend of mine, into DJing who excites me into joining him in the world of spinning, of vinyl. So now that I have plunked down a few hundred on equipment and a few hundred on vinyl from local record stores (please continue to support local vinyl as well as Amazon "big box" efforts), what is an aspiring DJ to do?
Listen to music. I tracked down every CD, every MP3 I could find and combined this with vinyl. Listening to music was literally like homework and I would race home after work and listen to at least a few hours of music a day. After a music marathon (and operation credit card reduction) month, it was time to select various classics that basically every music owner should own (and especially own on vinyl for any DJ work). First two things that popped in my head, were Purple Rain by Prince and Thriller by Michael Jackson. Both albums influenced me earlier in life, were pivotal in my musical (and therefore perhaps life) decisions and have influenced even who I am today.
Purple rain, purple rain... The only thing that could have sounded any better then that was the intial needle touching to the vinyl (MAN, I LOVE THAT SOUND). I usually run around and do other stuff while I am listening to music (I bought wireless headphones, see my other reviews), but I literally had to just sit. And listen. And love. Again. Listening to this album inspired me to see the movie again, and BOY, did I miss alot when I was young. This is not a movie or record to play for children, not sure how this one slipped passed the parents exactly. But buy it, in some form, appreciate its musical pageantry, its history and its epic status as one of the (comic book guy from the simpsons voice)... best... albums... ever!
So yeah, bought it off a Amazon Seller, shipping was fine, condition was alright, music and experience = priceless!
