Prince: "Graffiti Bridge" Album (1990)

Prince’s Graffiti Bridge was released as an album in the US by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records (catalog number 9 27493-2) on August 20, 1990, with a UK release in September 1990.

It peaked at number 6 in the United States and became his third consecutive chart-topper on the UK Albums Chart, following "Lovesexy" and "Batman." Almost every track on the album was composed by Prince, despite featuring performances by artists such as Tevin Campbell, Mavis Staples, and the Time. The album spawned the hit singles "Thieves in the Temple" and "New Power Generation," an anthem in two parts celebrating Prince's newly formed backing band, the New Power Generation. This band would make its first official appearance on Prince's subsequent album, "Diamonds and Pearls."
