  • V O O R W O O R D
    V O O R W O O R D Bij de eerste tonen van een liedje, wordt de luisteraar meegenomen naar het moment dat juist dit liedje impact maakte, dan wel hoop of troost gaf. Dat is de magie van muziek. Zodra muziek eenmaal in de wereld is losgelaten, is het niet meer alleen van de maker zelf. Het wordt van iedereen die de liedjes vol herinneringen stopt, als waren het tijdcapsules. Zo staat mij helder voor de geest dat ik Around The World In A Day voor het eerst hoorde. Een cruciaal moment in mijn leven; het moment dat ik begon te besefen dat op die mooie grote lp’s interessantere muziek stond dan je op de radio hoorde. Hoewel ik het werk als jong ventje niet goed snapte of überhaupt op waarde kon schatten, raakte ik geïntrigeerd. Nog steeds brengen de eerste tonen van de titeltrack me terug naar dat eerste moment. “Open your heart, open your mind, a train is leaving all day...” Voor mij letterlijk de start van een wonderlijke reis die het leven is. Een reis waarin het werk van Prince een cruciale rol speelt en waarin ontelbare herinneringen aan evenzo ontelbare liedjes kleven. Het ene moment sta ik weer in de stromende regen bij mijn allereerste popconcert, met een door alle vocht volledig aan elkaar geplakt tourboek onder mijn shirt. Het volgende ben ik voor het eerst in mijn leven alleen in het buitenland op zoek naar een concertzaal. Vele jaren later zit ik naast mijn lief in Ahoy’, terwijl het door mij aan haar beloofde muzikale spektakel uitblijft.

  • The Purple Xperience - Biography
    THE PURPLE XPERIENCE - BIOGRAPHY Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Purple Xperience has been bringing the memories of Prince and The Revolution to audiences of all generations. Led by Matt Fink (a/k/a Doctor Fink, 3x Grammy Award Winner and original member of Prince and The Revolution from 1978 to 1991), The Purple Xperience imaginatively styles the magic of Prince’s talent in an uncannily unmatched fashion through its appearance, vocal imitation and multi-instrumental capacity on guitar and piano. Backed by the best session players in the Twin Cities, Matt Fink and Marshall Charloff have undoubtedly produced the most authentic re-creation of Prince and The Revolution in the world, leaving no attendee disappointed. MATT “DOCTOR” FINK Keyboardist, record producer, and songwriter Doctor Fink won two Grammy Awards in 1985 for the motion picture soundtrack album for “Purple Rain”, in which he appeared. He received another Grammy in 1986 for the album “Parade: Music from the Motion Picture ‘Under the Cherry Moon'”, the eighth studio album by Prince and The Revolution. Matt also has two American Music Awards for “Purple Rain”, which has sold over 25 million copies worldwide since its release. Doctor Fink continued working with Prince until 1991 as an early member of the New Power Generation. He was also a member of the jazz-fusion band, Madhouse, which was produced by Prince and Eric Leeds, Prince’s saxophonist. Notable work with Prince includes co-writing credits on the songs “Dirty Mind”, “Computer Blue”, “17 Days”, “America”, and “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night,” as well as performing credits on the albums “Dirty Mind”, “Controversy”, “1999”, “Purple Rain”, “Around the World in a Day”, “Parade”, “Sign ‘O’ the Times”, “The Black Album”, and “Lovesexy”.

  • An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 435 403 IR 057 553 AUTHOR Halliday, Blane TITLE An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library. PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.

  • Power Generation Choice in the Precence of Environmental
    2002:26 lule A| UNIVERSITY ,L OF TECHNOLOGY DOCTORAL THESIS THOMAS SUNDQVIST Power Generation Choice Power in the Presence of Generation Environmental Externalities Choice in the Presence of Environmental Thomas Sundqvist Externalities DOCTORAL Department of Business Administration and Social Sciences THESIS Division of Economics 2002:26 • ISSN: 1402 - 1544 • ISRN: LTU - DT - - 02/26 - - SE Fewer Generation Choice in the Presence of Environmental Externalities Thomas Sundqvist Abstract This dissertation consists of an introductory part and six self-contained papers, all related to the issue of power generation choice in the presence of environmental externalities. Paper 1 provides a critical survey of a large number of electricity externality studies carried out during the last decades, and discusses a number of conceptual, policy-related and, in some cases, unresolved questions in the economic valuation of electricity externalities. These include: (a) the definition of externalities; (b) the choices of scope, relevant parameter input assumptions, and methodology; (c) the role of “green” consumer demand in replacing external cost assess­ ments; and (d) the behavioral assumptions and ethical principles underlying external cost valuation. Paper 2 focuses on explaining the variability of results among the external cost studies carried out so far by providing an econometric analysis of a large sample of externality studies. Most importantly, the paper concludes that an important explanation for the reported disparities can be attributed to the overall methodological choice employed. Paper 3 explores some of the ethical limits of environmental valuation, and analyzes what the implications are of these limits for the social choice between different power sources. The main thesis of the paper is that the scope of electricity externalities where non-market valuation can be applied from an ethical point of view is likely to be narrower than commonly assumed.

  • St Paul Peterson Shelby J
    St Paul Peterson Discovered at 17 by Prince, St Paul was hand picked to appear in the 1984 Grammy Award winning film Purple Rain as the new keyboard player in the acclaimed funk group The Time. He shortly thereafter contributed his keyboard and bass skills to the group's platinum album Ice Cream Castle (#24 pop), the infectious singles Jungle Love (#6 R& B/#20 pop) and The Bird (#36 pop). Prince then recruited him to front The Family, now known as fDeluxe, whose self-titled debut was released to critical acclaim in September 1985, generating the popular singles The Screams Of Passion (#9 R&B), High Fashion, (#34 R&B) and the original, and arguably, the finest version of the worldwide hit Nothing Compares 2 U, later popularised by Sinead O'Connor. St Paul is renowned as a thrilling live performer comfortable in every musical genre – complementing an impressive and ever-growing list of artists which includes Stevie Wonder, Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, Lionel Richie, Reba McIntire, Kenny Loggins, The Beach Boys, Little Richard, Boy George, Robert Palmer, Dolly Parton and Oleta Adams. He is also in high demand as a studio musician, working with many of the biggest names in the business, and as a songwriter and composer for film and television. Shelby J Singer, songwriter, supermova, Shelby Johnson as Prince dubbed her Shelby J is a native of Greensboro, North Carolina. Shelby has performed and collaborated with some of the greatest talent in recorded music history. She has toured and recorded globally with her band Blackgypsy and notable artists/groups: Groove Theory, Mary J Blige, Anthony Hamilton, D’Angelo & The Soultronics, Santana, Larry Graham, David Byrne, The Legendary Roots Crew and a little over a decade with her mentor…… PRINCE.

  • A Brief History of the NPG and "Celebrating Prince" in a Late-1990
    A Brief History of the NPG and "Celebrating Prince" In a late-1990 press release drafted in his own handwriting, Prince wrote that his new band, the New Power Generation was his "best band ever.” Those who followed him knew that he was always pushing himself and experimenting with new sounds and the musical chemistry of working with new musicians was a part of that process. This new band took him down a new path - one that was soulful, electrifying and funky! For Prince, the term New Power Generation seemed to have a deeper meaning than merely what he called his new band. In fact, before giving the name to his band, he wrote the phrase, “Welcome to the New Power Generation" for the opening track of 1988’s Lovesexy. Although he had parted ways with The Revolution in 1986, The NPG was not formally introduced as his new backing band until the summer of 1990 when most of the members made their live debut on the Nude Tour. In fact, the NPG was also the name of his band in the film, Graffiti Bridge, which included the song, “New Power Generation” on the accompanying soundtrack album. “Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor. Making love and music’s the only things worth fighting 4. We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world. The only thing that’s in our way is u. Your old fashioned music, your old ideas, We’re sick and tired of u telling us what 2 do.

  • An Analysis of the Influence of Prince on Music Marketing OUTSTANDING PAPER – Arts, Music & Entertainment
    A Royal Revolution: An analysis of the influence of Prince on music marketing OUTSTANDING PAPER – Arts, Music & Entertainment Deirdre T. Guion Peoples, [email protected] Introduction “Albums — remember those? Albums still matter. Albums, like books and black lives, still matter." These are the opening words for the presentation of album of the year at the 57th annual Grammy Awards for what we now know was one of the last television appearances of Prince (Gajewski and Lee 2015). Embodied in that one line is the culmination of a careers’-long battle for acknowledgement, acceptance, and control by an entertainer who refused to play by the rules of the recording industry. Prince figured out early in his career that the link between a musician and their audience was marketing. Marketing that typically was developed and controlled by the record label and not the musician. This study uses the culture production system (CPS) to explore how the musical artist Prince launched a revolution against the marketing practices of the music industry while capitalizing on some of those same practices to craft his image and propel his career. Along the way Prince paved a path for future artists to better maintain control of their artistic output. In exchange for fronting all of the production, distribution and marketing expenses of a musician’s recordings, the record labels also retained ownership of those recordings in accordance with the “work for hire” provision of the Copyright Act of 1976. This long-standing industry practice to include ownership of songs as a part of a recording contract has been a point of contention for several musicians (Sisario 2016).
