Wow, what impressive collection. What kind of music does she do? R&B?

Its all over the map style wise (but think a female R&B version of Michael Jackson) and imo a severely underrated singer whom id dearly love to see live.

TB, something tells me if you were my neighbour, we'd be besties and would be lending each other a LOT of music.

My Favourite Album of the week for this week for two reasons - one is that it is one my favourites and secondly I feel so grateful to have tracked down a pretty much mint copy as it is hard to get in good condition.

 

Prince

Diamonds And Pearls

Europe

1991

Great album there April and super pressing and sound.  Great bass impact on this album.   

 

I was third row right in front when he was touring this album - One of the best concerts/nights of my life.

 

  Money Don't Matter and Live 4 Love are two of my fav Prince songs

There is no concert experience quite like a Prince one - I have seen many others (including Madonna both times she was here) but seeing Prince is electric. So glad I made the effort and the major expense to see him 20th Feb 2016 at the Opera House - others times I saw him was twice in 2012. 

D&P would have been an incredible night, but I was not a fan then so much - my fandom started when I saw the Black Sweat Video ?

But I was a Madonna fan from the very start ?

It is a great album isn't it - nothing not to like on this Album - I have a CD bootleg of it called "Diamonds and Pearls Unrapped"  too and it is always on my play list. 

 

"Money Doesnt Matter" also applied to the cost I had to pay from UK to own this in perfect order - hahahahahaa

The Artist (Formerly Known As Prince) ‎– The Gold Experience.     amazing album every time I play it - always sounds fresh as if it could have just been released - Prince at the top of his game and it really is GOLD. 

Vinyl sounds incredible.

  Have a look at P Control live - it just goes off the richter of awesome. and dancing with his wife to be. I can't imagine what the crowd thought when he played this :hyper:

 

RIP you purple badness

Totally agree, my fav album too, have to get it on Vinyl too, but hoping for a re-issue as the original so expensive. I am totally jealous of Mayte !! LOL

My album of the week is one recently acquired secondhand from AirRaid Records.  I was familiar with a part of the first track and was intrigued with the idea of 12inch vinyl with a single song. What made its place as album of the week is how much the family enjoys it. Everyone gets a little groove and sing-a-long going. It has been spun plenty of times from start to finish of the week by popular demand. Helps doing the dishes glide bye. 

 

Stars on 45

Stills & Collins - Everybody Knows. Two of my favourite artists, Stephen and Judy, created a wonderful collection of songs. Judy's voice is still amazing and Stephen's guitar-playing still so sweet. Only 10 tracks no fillers here! Been playing this on the stereo, in the car, on phone, treadmill etc!

Sunday is my day to share my Album of the week ?

 

Madonna

Madame X

Europe

2019

LP

 

This is probably my favourite album of hers (well neck to neck with Erotica of which I have 4 LPs of and 5 CDs of ?)

 

The reason is because it is so interesting and diverse and a real journey and one should to listen to it as a whole body of work.

The layering of instruments are superb and you do hear more detail on vinyl that CD - but I love both as CD deluxe does have bonus tracks.

 

If you rename this "Dark Ballet" in your mind (rather than Madame X) you can hear it is just that, a theatrical ballet and it makes more sense. Madame X is taking you on a journey through her many personas and trying to point out social issues.

 

She has introduced me to the "Batuka" and cultural ideas I never thought about - and it is an album I like to put on late at night with a glass of wine and candle burning and just sit and concentrate on it. I think it is ahead of its time (like American Life album is more relevant now than it was when released) but it is definitely not pop tunes - but that is why I love it - it is different.
