💜 40th anniversary of the film "under the cherry moon" (july 2nd) and its soundtrack, "parade" (march 31st). it is also the 40th anniversary of the "kiss" single (feb. 5th for the 7", march 5th for the 12")! speaking of the "UTCM/parade" era, there'll be another symposium over in new york soonish! check here for info: https://iwonderu.polishedsolid.com
(edit-o: holy shit i nearly forgot about this: prince's birthday, june 7th, marks 40 years since the detroit '86 birthday show! ~how i almost forget to add this important gig, fucken wow~)
💜 30th anniversaries of the "emancipation" and "chaos and disorder" albums (november 19th & july 9th, respectively)
💜 20th anniversary of the "3121" album (march 21st). next year will mark 20 years since the 7/7/07 minneapolis shows. that was the last time i saw him live...wow i feel old 
🕊️ ...and of course, april 21st will mark 10 years since prince's untimely passing. Princey Season™ will be a bittersweet one this year for sure.

Oooh, there's a whole website dedicated to the equipment Prince used throughout his career, with everything from instrument models and descriptions to rig diagrams to archived articles!

You'll Hear It: *If You’ve Never Really 'Got' Prince, Start Here*
I'm trying to take a no strings attached attitude towards 2026: if I don't ask anything of it, it can't break my heart. But I have also purchased the bottle of champagne I am going to pop when that one guy dies.
"On July 23rd, 1984, the song was recorded at the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse in Eden Prairie with the entire band. The song was played and recorded live. After 21 minutes the tape was full and the band were still playing."
It was only released on vinyl a long time ago. 21 minutes is a bit long 😆, still interesting for any Prince fan. And the song has an amazing groove...

I just noticed this yesterday evening, but didn't had time to share it on the fediverse. The full (21m41s!!!) remastered 12 inch version of America!
I have this on vinyl since its release in October 1985. Instead of other 12'' singles (aka maxi singles), you have to play this on 33⅓ rpm (instead of 45). Let's hope that this means that the Prince Estate finally continues releasing Super Deluxe sets, Around The World In A Day Super Deluxe in this case. Because this is remastered by Bernie Grundman my hopes are high.
