Prince playing piano over ‘Summertime’ at Soundcheck, Koshien, Hyogo Prefecture in 1990.

‘This is August 2, 1990 sound check Osaka Japan. I spent six years of my life working for, creating with and laying the foundation for the rest of my career with Prince. Long nights, remote parts of the world and creative growth beyond my wildest dreams. This may not be the Prince you think of but it is the Prince I knew. Those years were and will always remain the highlight of my career. Thanks for the good times RIP Kid.’ – Steve Purcell.
