Review: Wonderful! - The often overlooked pre-Purple Rain era of Prince's career is captured perfectly in this book of photographs by one of the best photographers Prince ever worked with. Along with Jeff Katz, Steve Parke and Randee St. Nicholas, Allen Bauliaeu captured the essence of Prince's character and mystique. The book covers 1979-1983 with a few post Purple Rain era photos at the end. The stories connected to each photo shed new light on Prince. Unlike some of the other books released, this shows the early years of Prince where his guard is a bit lower. I can't recommend this book enough. If you love Prince... Buy it!
Review: Beautiful photo book. Must have if you like the late 70s to early 80s Prince era. - One of my favourite photo books about Prince. It has beautiful pictures from the late 70s to the early 80s. I wish they were all in big size because I love every single one of them!

Got this for 8 pounds and some pence. And I was shocked. Thought it would be small. I was so wrong. Great book. With some great pics.
