With the release of this seminal double-album, Prince evolves from the minimalist synth-pop that powered such discs as DIRTY MIND and CONTROVERSY into the pop genius that defined such quirky masterpieces as PURPLE RAIN and SIGN OF THE TIMES. Were it only for the hits--the loopy bounce of "Delirious," the moody slide of "Little Red Corvette," and the irresistible title track (only Prince could have written the ultimate dance song for the turn of the millennium 18 years before the fact)--1999 would be essential. These tracks are as perfect as they are familiar from incessant radio play.The rest of 1999 holds up to the radio hits. Loose, nasty grooves like "D.M.S.R." and "Automatic" are interspersed with the propulsive shuffle of "Let's Pretend We're Married" and the soulful, psychedelic pulse of "Something In The Water." This is not average dance music. Prince's hybrid of rich, trippy atmospherics, '80s synth-y keyboard sounds, lush, asymmetrical harmonies, elements of rock guitar, soulful singing, and strong songwriting--all rolled together with beats--weaves dark, sexual energy into ebullient boogie anthems. 1999 is one of the definitive pop music documents of the '80s.
Both records have very minimal light surface marks and light paper scuffs(hairline & superficial marks). All four labels are clean and have spindle marks. Both records grade excellent condition.
The inner lyric sleeves have no tears. Minimal light creasing. No splits and both grade excellent condition.
The main sleeve has minimal edge wear. Some minor corner wear with more on the bottom left corner(see picture).There is some minimal light creasing around the edges with a larger crease along the top right corner and smaller ones on the bottom left corner(see picture). There is also a dull looking patch on the top right corner where it looks like a sticker was once here. Very minimal light ring wear/rubbing marks(see picture). No splits. The cover grades a strong very good to a near excellent condition.
