 5.0 out of 5 stars LSO version of Purple Rain

Wow! What an extraordinary version of Purple Rain by the LSO, I bought the LP for that 1 song. It is so true to the original with how it is gradually built up and finishing with the many layers as the great man originally wrote it. And the guitar solo! Just beautiful, such a magnificent effort by the LSO. This song is the most beautiful song in the universe, often covered badly, but the LSO have performed it magnificently. I have a feeling that even Prince himself would appreciate this version. Well done LSO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic

London Philharmonic need I say more ! The instrumental renditions of the 80’s classic pop songs are phenomenal.

This one is worth spending your money on.
