Numero Group: Purple Snow - Forecasting The Minneapolis Sound (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 4LP Boxset
Numero Group: Purple Snow - Forecasting The Minneapolis Sound (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 4LP Boxset
It’s difficult to look past the legacy of Prince when discussing music from Minnesota, but this extensive Numero Group compilation is FULL of pre and post-Purple One joints that really shine the light on the futuristic fusion funk that was happening in the city. Spread over 4 LPs are 32 “slick, black, technologically advanced” sounds from the land of 10,000 lakes, and you get a clear view of the impact the “tight-knit” community had on American dance music by “varnishing futuristic funk with guitar rock’s glamorous sheen” Check out tracks from 94 East, Flyte Tyme, Alexander O’Neal, Mind & Matter collective, Andre Cymone, and more, and the ambitious release is accompanied by a 30,000 word, 144-page hardbound book that details the stories behind the rare, unreleased tracks.
- 32 rare & unreleased tracks from the 1980s Twin Cities boogie/R&B scene
- purple & lavender colored 4xLP vinyl pressing (please note: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)
