Description
Released on October 27, 1982, 1999 is the fifth studio album by Prince and a landmark release in the development of the Minneapolis Sound. This double LP served as Prince's major crossover breakthrough, catapulting him to international superstardom with iconic hits like the title track 1999, Little Red Corvette, and Delirious. Musically, it is a masterclass in blending funk, synth pop, new wave, and rock, characterized by its heavy use of the Linn LM-1 drum machine and intricate vocal layering. Historically, it was one of the first albums by a Black artist to receive heavy rotation on MTV, breaking significant racial barriers in the music industry. This specific US pressing (Catalog 9 23720-1 F) is in NM condition and includes the original printed lyric inner sleeves and inserts. It remains an essential cornerstone for any serious record collection, representing the peak of 1980s pop innovation.
