Paperback. Legendarily reticent, perverse and misleading, Prince is one of the few remaining 80s superstars who still, perhaps, remains unexplained. Now a firm fixture in the pop canon, where such classics as 'Purple Rain', 'Sign o' the Times' and 'Parade' regularly feature in Best Ever Album polls, Prince is still, as he ever was, an enigma. Num Pages: 608 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: AVGP; AVH; BGF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 196 x 131 x 39. Weight in Grams: 478.
