Prince - 1999, Double Vinyl LP 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 - 1999 would be essential. These tracks are as perfect as they are familiar from incessant radio play. This item is brand new and shrink wrapped. 1999 is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Prince. It released on October 27, 1982 by Warner Bros. Records. The album was his first top ten album on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States (peaking at number 9) and became the fifth best-selling album of 1983 and was certified Multi-Platinum by RIAA. 1999 was Prince's breakthrough album, but his next album, Purple Rain, would become his most successful. The title track was a protest against nuclear proliferation and became his first top ten hit in countries outside the United States. 1. 1999 2. Little Red Corvette 3. Delirious 4.
