The Revolution: Lades & Gentleman

Prince’s groundbreaking backing band that helped define the Minneapolis Sound and elevated his music to global superstardom, officially taking shape with the 1999 album. OVERVIEW The Revolution was Prince’s primary live and studio band from 1980 to 1986. Known for their tight musicianship, diverse influences (funk, rock, pop, R&B, new wave), and flamboyant style, they were central to Prince’s most commercially and artistically successful period.

Anotherloverholenyohead captures the final spark of The Revolution — a playful, horn‑driven funk workout that radiates the theatricality of the Parade era. Pairing it with I Wanna Be Your Lover was a clever UK‑only move, reconnecting fans with the youthful disco‑funk that launched Prince’s career. The result is a single that bridges two eras: the raw ambition of 1979 and the sophisticated experimentation of 1986. A vibrant collectible from a moment of transformation.
