PRINCE – Third LP ‘DIRTY MIND’ By The Late Genius Came Out 40 Years Ago

Posted on by TUTV!

7 October 2020

Artist: PRINCE
Album: DIRTY MIND – his third LP
Released: 8 October 1980 – 40 years ago

Pitchfork: “Prince’s ‘Dirty Mind’ starts with the most blatant disco throb in his entire discography on the title cut, and his second-heaviest thump pounds through “Uptown,” which opens Side B. At 30 ultra-tight minutes, a length that allowed for more walloping vinyl, Prince’s sole slow-jam-deficient album is pretty much an unrelenting dance party that pointedly invited New Wavers to boogie down alongside funk bunnies and dancefloor fashionistas. It’s one of the key records that truly initiated the ’80s.”

– PRINCE

Turn Up The Volume: “A 24 karat musical genius.”

PRINCE Treasure Discovered – Here’s The Full Version Of Previously Unreleased Track ‘COSMIC DAY’

Posted on by TUTV!

6 August 2020

A reissue of SIGN O’ THE TIMES, the (double) 1987 masterwork album by
the late great genius PRINCE is planned for a 25th September release.

One of the previously unreleased tracks on it is COSMIC DAY of which the Prince estate
has finally found the full version. The catchy, upbeat track was recorded in November 1986, and although a snippet of the recording has been passed among collectors for
a long time, the full version was unfindable until now. A relief for all devoted fans of
The Purple Purv. To avoid misunderstandings it’s indeed Prince himself who sings – not
a woman – in his pitched-up voice.

The Late Great CHRIS CONNELL Thrills With His Heartbreaking Cover Of ‘NOTHING COMPARES 2 U’

Posted on by TUTV!

It’s almost three years (17 May 2017) since troubled singer/songwriter and towering voice CHRIS CONNELL decided, due to severe depression problems, to leave this world. A really sad loss. He fronted grunge icons Soundgarden, founded Temple Of The Dog and made a lasting impression as a solo artist.

While surfing on the internet yesterday I came across his spine-tingling, acoustic version
of Prince‘s brilliant love ballad ‘NOTHING COMPARES 2 U’, made famous, worldwide, by Sinead O’Connor. His utterly gripping vox and the weeping cello bring you to tears. Get goosebumps right here…

Performed for SiriusXM – a radio  company headquartered in New York City
