Description

Sometime during the half-year stretch when 1984's "Purple Rain" was the most popular album in America, Tipper Gore, wife of the then senator AL Gore, walked in on their 11-year-old daughter listening to the song "Darling Nikki."  To her, the sex references in the lyrics seemed inappropriate for a child.  She formed a committee called Parents Resource Center designed to raise awareness about the moral evils of pop music -- a campaign that went so far as to put stickers on the albums "Parental Advisory Explicit Content."  Some say to listen to "Darling Nikki" as a song only about sex is to miss the point.  I say, let the buyer be the judge!  The vinyl in this listing is in excellent condition, and the album cover is near mint.
