Sheila E y’all! She brought me back to my childhood. I grew up with this vibe and these hits. She showed love to @prince and the crowd ate it up! #sheilae #prince #princerogersnelson #mikoweaver #leviseacerjr #ericleeds #boniboyer #atlantabliss #drfink #princehistory #todayinprincehistory #catglover #signothetimes #lovesexytour #purplearmy #signothetimestour #iwishuheaven #glamslam #gainwithdante #princeappreciationday #followtrain #blueangel #theballadofdorothyparker #likes #trocolikes #gainpost #peachcloud #sayhellotomylittlefriend #twitter #lovesexy (at EPCOT) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjPFpgRMexj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Prince released his 10th studio album #Lovesexy

35 years ago today! Who else has the first edition CD that you couldn't skip tracks? 😂

Reposted from @prince The CD version was released as one continuous, 45-minute, 7-second track. “Lovesexy was a mind trip, like a psychedelic movie,” Prince told @RollingStone in 1990.

Reposted from @clubhousequake May 10, 1988 - Prince released his tenth studio album, Lovesexy. It was issued as a substitute record after the last minute cancellation of the infamous The Black Album. It was recorded in just seven weeks, from mid-December 1987 to late January 1988, at Prince’s new Paisley Park complex.

Most of the album is a solo effort from Prince, with a few exceptions...

The album is designed to be heard in the context of a continuous sequence: LP pressings split the album in two side-long tracks, without visual bands to indicate individual songs. Early CD copies of Lovesexy have the entire album in sequence as a single track, though some later editions have it as nine separate tracks.

The theme of the album is the struggle between good and evil, or “Camille” and “Spooky Electric”, respectively. God and Satan, virtue and sin, the perennial themes of Prince’s work, mix as Prince climaxes to “Love is God, God is love, girls and boys love God above” in the song, Anna Stesia.

It spawned three singles; “Alphabet St.” became a worldwide top-ten hit in the spring of 1988. The follow-up singles “Glam Slam” and “I Wish U Heaven” failed to reach the Hot 100. While it was Prince’s least successful album in the U.S. since 1980, it became his first UK No.1 album (where all the singles became top-thirty hits) and received critical praise. The album was accompanied by the critically acclaimed #LovesexyTour, of which the Dortmund show in Germany was released on VHS and LaserDisc.

The cover (based on a Jean Baptiste Mondino photo) caused some controversy as it depicts Prince in the nude. Some record stores refused to stock it or wrapped the album in black, ironically, as Lovesexy was issued as a replacement for the hastily withdrawn The Black Album, which had an achromatic black cover.
