I was very impressed by this book. The packaging is absolutely
beautiful and the photos inside are artistic and pretty. They are
certainly now 'raw', as many amateur concert photos of Prince are,
and reflect Randee St. Nicholas' very polished style. Do they give
any new information on Prince, his performances and his life? No.
But, they sure are beautiful photographs.
The poetry inside is a mix of previously-released song lyrics and
short (unreleased) poems by Prince. Interesting to read.
The live CD (Indigo Nights) is great. Again, it's not as raw as the
bootlegs of these shows, and you can argue about the song
selection, but any officially released live album by Prince is hard
to come by.
If you've ever purchased a Prince bootleg for $20-30, you certainly
owe it to the artists to pick up this project. If you're a fan of
Randee St. Nicholas' photographs, you'll enjoy this as well.
