The Year of the Prince: 1984

This was one of the earliest mass‑market Prince biographies released in the UK, rushed out during the Purple Rain explosion.

No month is printed on the back cover (typical for Sphere paperbacks), but the ISBN and publisher catalogue place it firmly in 1984.

“He sold over a MILLION ALBUMS before hitting his 20th birthday…”

“Awesome and striking; the shy Prince becomes a King on stage.”
