About the book
Prince's climb during 1983 and 1984, from a cult act to the biggest rock star in the world, is documented in close detail. Duane Tudahl reconstructs the work Prince did behind closed studio doors and the days he spent on tour. He drew on rare access to the musicians, singers and engineers who knew Prince best, among them members of the Revolution and the Time, and on the daily recording logs of Sunset Sound Studios and records in the Warner Bros. vault. The result explains where songs such as When Doves Cry, Raspberry Beret and Purple Rain came from and describes unreleased outtakes, placing the Purple Rain album inside the lives of Prince and those around him.
Austin Kleon described it as a day-by-day account of Prince in the studio at his peak, admitting he skimmed and skipped around but still enjoyed it a great deal.

Austin Kleon (Artist & Bestselling Author)
A day-by-day play-by-play of Prince in the recording studio at the height of his powers. I did a lot of skimming and skipping around, but really enjoyed it.
