..σχεδόν είχε γίνει μύθος πριν καν κυκλοφορήσει!
Μιλάω για το black album του Prince
Πάλι έχουμε εδώ την περίπτωση που κάποιος καλλιτέχνης φέρεται τελείως αλλοπρόσαλλα με την κυκλοφορία δίσκου του. Κυκλοφόρησε σαν κομήτης το 1987 και αποσύρθηκε πολύ σύντομα Ο Prince συμπεριέλαβε το when 2 are in love( ίσως το πιο αδιάφορο κομμάτι του black album) στο επόμενο του lp love sexy.
Επανακυκλοφόρησε κάποια στιγμή.
*Just before The Black Album was released to the market, Prince recalled all copies and abandoned the entire project, leaving roughly 100 European promotional copies in circulation, and several US copies that would be widely bootlegged in the coming years. Several reasons, including speculative ones, have been given as to why the release was derailed:
• Prince became convinced that the album was evil or represented an ominous portent.
• Prince experienced a crisis of conscience and marketing identity over the eroticism and violence of its lyrics. Warner Bros. Records, his record label, reached the same conclusion.
Further evidence that Prince felt The Black Album was a mistake: In his first music video of his next album, "Alphabet St.", the video can be paused after it shows him holding an umbrella and the words "Don't buy The Black Album. I'm sorry" can be read running vertically.
• Prince decided to scrap the album after an experiment with the drug ecstasy that resulted in a bad trip.[5] Former Prince associates have confirmed the Ecstasy story.[6]
Immediately after the decision to pull The Black Album from stores, the album emerged on the streets in bootleg form, arguably becoming popular music's most legendary bootleg since Smile[7]. Several celebrities, including U2's frontmen the Edge and Bono, cited it as one of their favorite albums of 1988 (Rolling Stone magazine celebrity poll).*

Μια από τις λίγες κόπιες που κατάφεραν τότε να φτάσουν στην Ελλάδα, ευτυχώς την απέκτησε γνωστός κολλητού φίλου. Ήμουν έτσι από τους πρώτους που μπόρεσαν να απολαύσουν αυτό το εκπληκτικό lp.To Rockhard in a funky place(που έβαλα πιο πάνω) έγινε ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου κομμάτια εκείνη την περίοδο, ενώ το Bob George άρχισε να παίζεται στους ραδιοφωνικούς σταθμούς.
