I would've gave it a 5/5 but I give it a 4.6/5. Why? Because Darling Nikki made the explicit stickers and I'm still upset 😭about that! But Purple Rain ☔️ made me change it to a 10/5.

Man....I can just now listen to a full Prince song without having to turn it off because I start crying. I love this dude. Greatest album of all time without question. RIP Prince, we miss you.

Amazing

One of the greatest movies and soundtracks ever made! Classic!!! RIP Prince 🙏🏽

I've said enough.

Great!!!!!!

Of course I love this album! I'm a crazy PRINCE fan and I'm only 16 !!!! I became one just at 15 and I'm saying that this man changed my life! Thank you Prince Rogers Nelson and I love you so much 💜💘 #ripprince 👼

This album reminds me of the movie and the bad acting in Purple Rain. I still like these songs, however. RIP Prince.

Prince Rocked!!!

He left this world way too young and touched so many of us in ways we did not even realize until he left this world for the next.

All I really remember from a family trip, I was around 7, to Podunk, NY (in far upstate), is a Purple Rain poster with Prince standing there all hot and sweaty and there are sparks flying all around him. I had to sleep in my cousin's room, the one graduating from high school, and all I remember is trying to fall asleep every night with Prince staring at me. I was trying to figure out what the heck my cousin saw in this scrawny looking man that every time she walked by the poster she would give it a peck. Then a few years later I was really into Billy Joel, Boys to Men and New Kids On the Block then I understood the attraction but I never did get into kissing a poster or blowing it a kiss, too many germs without any reward. Podunk, NY is so far north that if New Yorkers do know it is there, they would swear to you that there is no such place in NY and it just does not exist because it is so backwards. I am talking like the great state of AR don't even like to admit

Still the best Prince album of so many stellar albums...In fact, one of the best albums of the 80s if not all time. Almost every song is a gem of writing, performance, and production. Style.

Classic !!!

I love you Prince Rogers Nelson!

Must have!👍🏻💯

I love these songs! But where is the rest of the SOUNDTRACK? I want it all... That would be perfection!

As always. But I don't understand why I would die 4 u is explicit? Lol

This man was my life.

😰rip

Prince was a genius. The music still lives on

One of the only albums that I own that has no flaws, no bad songs, nothing to skip. One song flows to the next perfectly. One of the best albums ever made. If you don't own this one, you're missing out. This is Prince at his most brilliant.

To this day, the rain still cries purple for you. R.I.P. sweet Prince. 💜

Another GOAT legend resting peacefully. He will be missed!

The Movie is a Classic an so was the Original Motion picture soundtrack is a 5 Star album ; however I feel like ITunes robbed me without a pistol! All other songs and preformances were removed from the original cassests & LP's that appeared on the sound track in 1984. Shame on you Apple.

There will never be another one like him. No one can compare to him. No one.

that deserves a remaster.

Prince, nothing compares 2U

This album is amazing and really set Price into the rest of his career. Really changed my life with this one. One thing on the track listing though: Why the hell is Purple Rain listed as an Explicit song? The lyrics have no negative connotation at all. Its about relationships. So weird. Otherwise, LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM OVER AND OVER

I Love Prince!!!! One of my favorite artists. So talented, he is icon! He will be greatly missed R.I.P

Prince will always be a legend. Purple Rain and 1999 are some of my favorite songs. R.I.P

So many great songs! Title says it all!^

I played the cassette soooo many times back in the summer of '84 ***(thats 1984 to young whipper snappers)

This album is a classic! Great songs at a great price! Rest in peace Prince!!

Omg!!! 😢

I love this album & most of all I LOVE Prince.

I am a complete mess & in tears since our #PurpleLeader has passed away.

I miss & love you Prince!!!

You are the absolute BEST.

I knew of prince growing up but not really interested I was born in the 90"s but after his passing I bought purple rain and fell in love with his music I play the album from beginning to end and its amazing who would have thought a 80s album can still be this good long live his purpleness five stars!!!

One of the best soundtracks for a movie... Ever. We will miss you prince💜💜💜😓

too bad hes dead

One of my favorite prince songs. You will be missed

I love you forever, you are a legend! You will live on in our heart and your music lives forever passed down from generation to generation to come. God bless you and see you soon. Play some beautiful music in heaven with all the rest of our legends. Bowie, Houston, Jackson & many more :( gone to soon. You have given me many memories to cherish and hoped to see you preform like I've always wanted too. See you later.

Great soundtrack. I love Prince. I'm crying now.

There will never be anyone that touches a persons soul like you have. No one that bridges the gap between black and white, young and old, make and female the way you have. There will never be another dove that doesn't cry at the mention of your name.

The Prince has died...... Long live the Prince.

Amazing talent

One of the defining albums of my teen years, it still hits hard and makes me feel alive. I purchased the album to respect an artists wishes against pirating. Someone who pours their heart and soul into a creative processes deserves that.

❤️

I am a Prince fan but THIS IS HIS BEST ALBUM EVER!! I play songs 1-9 ALL BACK TO BACK and don't skip not 1 song!! His other albums I only like 1, 2, or maybe 3 songs so I bought this one and the B sides for $24.99 cuz that one has MAJORITY of these hits from this album on there amongst many others that I like

I love this entire album. What an artist should aspire to be if they could be an expert musician, songwriter, singer, dancer, showman...a true entertainer and performer! RIP Dear Prince, you were another rare genius humanity was blessed to witness. Thank you!

This album. Forever.

Prince was an inspirational icon to many. He was a big part of my childhood. He will forever live on. RIP Prince💜

Prince was a great artist who will be missed very much. I have always loved this album since I first heard it as a kid.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word life, it means forever & that's a mighty log time, but I'm here to tell you, there's something else...the after world. A world of never never ending happiness, you can always see the sun - day or night.

Amazing album. Forever be favorite.

It's hard to accept that Prince left us so soon, but he would want us to accept it and live. That this opus is now over 30 years old stuns me. I remember where I was when I learned of John Lennon's passing, and the same will be true with Prince.

But he's not gone. Through his physical death, now he is with us all in the spirit of everything that holds us, and that Prince understood so well.

See you soon friend. Thank you for the gift of your music, and your gift of you.

I was 11 yrs old when this album was first on the shelf, at the time the lyrics were beyond my comprehension, but this album was a staple on my record player. Laugh if you must, but in my pre-pubescent mind this amazing artist was so far above and beyond what was typical on the radio. I have always adored Prince and his interpretation of melody. One of the best albums. EVER.

RIP 😪 You truly were and will forever be one of The Beautiful Ones.

Listen, Learn, & Live

With classics like Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, The Beautiful Ones, Computer Blue, I would die 4 U, Darling Nikki, and Purple Rain - its easy to say that this one of the best of all time. Prince is a true musical genius and he did nothing but get better and better after the great Purple Rain. Don't pick at the tracks, just buy the whole damn album and enjoy it!

.."GO CRAZY!!"..Oh; Yes!; Mister Prince Rogers Nelson truly "Wanted It All" when he released this Artistic & Ambitious Film & Soundtrack; Defining "Eighties Excess" for the People!-Shamelessly Stealing several recipes from the "Funk-Soul Cookbooks" of: James Brown; Marvin Gaye; Stevie Wonder & Especially; Sly Stone; Prince does manage to serve up a Superb Souffle with "Purple Rain!"-{And Prince's Music was EVERYWHERE that Summer Of 1984; Pouring out of Car Radios; City Stoops & Cool House Parties from Providence to Portland!}-"I Am Something That You'll Never Comprehend!"..by Grimmbo.

Damn I loved the movie and the songs! I love prince! Thank you iTunes for having the movie available too! ~~ 5stars~~

This is one of the most perfect albums of all time. From start to finish it is a timeless masterpiece. Incredible. Amazing. Fantastic. Prince at his best.

Track by Track

Let's Go Crazy: 10/10: My favorite song on the album, Just amazing.

Take Me With U: 9/10: One of the best intros on the album, good vocals, and an overall good track.

The Beautiful Ones: 9.4/10: Strongest Balled on the album, great lyrics and incredible vocals.

Computer Blue:8.6/10: Probably the weakest track on the album, but not a bad song.

Darling Nikki: 9.3/10: This is the song that brought about the Parental Advisory stickers, so thank Prince for those. Still a very good track.

When Doves Cry: 9.9/10: The most successful song from the album. The biggest song of 1984. Prince's vocals are amazing, and the guitar is awesome.

I Would Die 4 U: 10/10: What can be said about this song? It and Baby I'm a Star are two songs that cannot be played without each other. they have the greatest transition ever. Both extremly good dance tracks.

Baby I'm a Star: 10/10: The transition between this and I Would Die 4 U is just so amazing. Both fantastic songs.

Purple Rain: 100/10: Yes, this song has a 100/10. How is this possible? Listen to the song. A perfect song if there ever was one. Prince's signature song, one of the greeatest guitar solos ever, terrific vocals, it all adds up to Purple Rain.

Though I am only 14, I still know good music when I hear it, and this is good music. I would place this in the top 10 albums ever. Prince, Congratulations.

The real King of Pop Prince!

When doves cry is off the hook it's awesome I can't stop listening to it

I was born In 1984, and I love all of Mr. Nelson's music dating back to 94 East and Prince and even For You. Prince is a legend in his own and is the only one of he. Prince is my favorite artist because I love his unique style and his ability to do his own thing, and he is very multi talented. I would be honered to meet this guy one day and also Ms. Chaka Khan and Mr. Stevie Wonder they are all legends and I enjoyed their performance on the BET awards show.

I am only 15 and my mom kept nagging me to watch the movie Purple Rain and I finaly did and I loved it but not just the movie the songs too. The Best One is The Beautiful Ones that song is so beautiful I love the whole cd it is defantly worth $7:99.

This album was the inspiration for Justin Timberlake's "FutureSex/LoveSounds" and you can almost hear it when listening to both. The only album that I have where EVERY song is fantastic. A must have for Prince fans.

This is the Album that made me listen to Prince and he is my favorite artist of all time. The word genius is thrown around too often for artists but Prince definitely deserves it. He is the reason, I'm into so many different genres of music because he does everything so well. He wasn't the biggest artist of the 80s but he sure was the best. I never thought he would make anything better...

I feel in love with Prince when I saw Purple Rain in 1984 and I was 11 yrs old. I am still a huge Prince fan. Purple Rain is a mix of dance music, emotionally sounds, and sexuality. I felt that as a kid. I played my mother's Lp so much that she hid the Lp from me! Ha, can't take Prince away from me now mom! I am still a HUGE FAN. I am alway grateful that my mother took me to see this movie. The movie influenced my music taste forever. The movie opened my world. I LOVE Mom and I LOVE you Prince.

If you can't get down with purple rain, what can you get down with?

AMAZING;;

the movies just as good.

Not only did he do a good job with the movie but he made some awesome songs to go along with it! I give 5 stars and 2 thumbs up. Best thing seens 1999!

During the 1980's Prince was the simply the best. He represented funk, growing talents (The Family), and helped other bands get their starts (Shelia E.). His talent as an artist is proven here in "Purple Rain." Rated the best Sound Track in modern history, Prince continues to prove that he is the standard that funk is compared to (sorry Rick James).

This is the best I have heard of Prince! I LOVED the movie Purple Rain only for the music, so of course, I would be madly in love with this album!! A definite must have from the 80's!!

Whew. "Let's Go Crazy" is like the "My Generation" of, um, my generation, only Prince captures that inchoate stutter with his always brilliant rhythm guitar. And ask me some time about how my old roommate used to bang out "Purple Rain" unaccompanied on guitar, in full voce, reminding us that: 1. the big G chord is the sound of the world triumphant, and 2. "Honey I know I know I know times are changin'" yelled at the top of the lungs in a cold apt. on the Lower East Side 10 years ago still rings true in my ears. A zillion years later and Purple Rain still rocks hard. Nary a bum moment on this one.

In my opinion, this is the greatest soundtrack to a movie PERIOD.

I was in the car with my dad one day and he asked if I had ever heard of Prince. I told him yeah, but I haven't heard any of his music. He turned on Purple rain and I was like "Oh, my Gosh!" I loved it.This is something that's out of my time, but I still think it's awesome. The movie was cool too!

I was a long hair metal head at the time it came out but good is good and this is one of the best.

This has soul and depth a thing that seems to be missing in the music scene of today.

This Album had it all how could you not like it.

Hail to the Purple One!

this is the best album that came out in the 80's by far!!! prince rox!!!

Real talk: this is the strongest album ever written. From beginning to end it's never wack, and each track uncovers his skills as a songwriter. On this album Prince shows his genius like no artist ever has.

This man is a legend in his own and he knows it. I have been a Prince fan when he was in his Dirty Mind singing in Erotic City, creating Controversy in his Little Red Corvette, making me Delirious and Soft and Wet in my Tamborine. True Prince fans know the albums. Purple Rain is the epitome of his success and a necessity in anyone collection. This man is a musical genius and his instrumental talents are endless. A must have for any collection!

I was in the US Army stationed overseas in 1984. I remember hearing the beat of When Doves Cry for the first time in a German night club...man did we run to the dance floor fast! The LP, VHS of the film, and 12"'s (God, Erotic City) were all must haves!

Purple Rain+ the smell of insence+the mystery lady=don't knock on my door...

Must go. Must buy. Hands down the best album of the 'eighties. Yeah, I said it. THE BEST ALBUM OF THE 'EIGHTIES!!!

Prince did the impossible. He made an album that is one of the best of any genres of music ever. Not only that this album still charts relatively well even today! Prince to truly the Crown Prince of Music, and may his reign be long and fruitful!

GREAT album. Thank you iTunes for finally adding "Purple Rain" (track 9) to the Purple Rain soundtrack! I almost bought this album last month before I noticed the ommitted track. I've now learned that not all albums on iTunes are the actual full album. Buyers beware: compare the album you think you buying against a seperate track list.

This is a great album. Back in the day, when I was a sophmore in high school, this album first came out and it was like no other. It was argued all day long, who was better, Prince, Madonna, or Michael Jackson. You had to pick one, and I always picked Prince, soon to be know as "The artist formally know as Prince" :)

I came check this out on the day after the Supter Bowl and I had to laugh. There was only one review. I just Ignored it and downloaded the songs I wanted. I have to say however, that I believe that Prince's half - time performance is what has placed his album at #16 now, as well as driven the 23 people (including me) to post a review of this 23 year old album.

If he would have put on a mediocre show people would not be reacting so positively. I have to admit, I thought the "Purple Rain" performance was just awesome! The highlight of the entire Suprebowl ?!

Possibly. As for this album and his performance, I have to admit they both deservie 5 stars. But I'll

remember the "Purple Rain" portion of the show for as long as I live. Wish I could have been there.

Prince has a most unique talent, since he can make an album that has sound so cohesive yet have so many styles. Purple Rain made the movie a hit. Every song is amazing.

Cant Deny it

iT'S Downright Amazing

wow I was just in high school when this music was new! and after all these years its stil fantastic! Prince or what ever he calls him self these days still can blow away his audience! Saw him do the halftime his music & his voice as good as ever! thanks for bring back the memories. Lets go Crazy! Purple Rain will be great even 25 years from now!

Not a review, but a plea to iTunes and Prince: put the Super Bowl halftime performance up for download -- audio and video!

every single note on this album could not have been improved. hes got perfect songwritting down to science. the whole things a journey froms the highs to the lows.

They don't make music like this anymore...

Prince's best album (way, WAY better than "Sign 'O' the Times, his second best) made at his peak commercially. I have no idea why Prince refused to allow the title track until now, but better late than never. For further listening, get "17 Days", "God", "Another Lonely Christmas" and "Erotic City", the B-sides from the album, and "Jungle Love" and "The Bird" by The Time, which featured in the film.

This is the album that shot Prince into superstardom in the summer of 1984. I remember it like it was yesterday. Whenever I hear it, it takes me back to the purple fantasy world of my adolescence! It's one of those albums that is great from start to finish and has stood the test of time. Long live Prince!

I remember where I was and what I was doing the very first time I heard "When Doves Cry." I couldn't believe how tight the harmonies were, the tone of the guitar, the lack of bass. As odd as it was it was a major hit. Even my little sister bought the purple 45. It is one of those timeless recordings that you can still put on and listen to without feeling embarrased. Prince did an amazing job on this project. From the hard grinding "Darling Nikki" to the live recordings of "I would Die 4U" "Baby I'm a Star" and the classic "Purple Rain" Prince was in the zone. 1984 was the year I first got laid and this was the soundtrack to that summer.

Till this day I can listen to this soundtrack and enjoy it just as much as the first time. Prince is a amazing musican and entertainer. I love how this album of only 9 songs can make such a definitive statement. It just goes to show that when it comes to good music its about quality not quantity.

I love this album, I love this Movie. Prince is at his best here on all tracks, this is the promise that the producers saw in the late 70's when they signed him. All nine tracks are Epic, I Would Die 4 U is one of my favorite underrated Prince tunes. This is the some of his best work and I am certain that we will see something execeptional from him before too long.

The emotional depth and strong musical chops are all apparent here, this album overflows with genuis. Thank you Prince, for everything, Peace.

A classic soundtrack album to a great musical from the 80's. In the future, the era will be looked back at as we do the 1940's musicals. This movie will be a considered a classic for the musical production, the melodramatic lighting and over the top acting. Sure, the movie is full of drama, but wasnt the entire 80's as well?? A great movie for a big haired/drama filled time.

You cant beat Purple Rain and I would die 4 U and even the hidden gem Take me with you for the pop/funk classics that they are.

This has to be one of my favorite albums. I am in to the alternative music like post hardcore and expierimental but prince will always be very dear to my heart. This is a great buy!!!!!

I love this song. Prince is fricken awesome

This is Prince's finest work ever!!!! This album falls in my top 10 best albums EVER!!!!

You can listen to this album from begining to end. Just about every song on this album

is a hit. You can't go wrong with this one!!!
