This 35th anniversary commemorative CD is a truly extraordinary piece of work that not only reflects the incredible talent of the young musicians of 94 East, but also a young prodigy by the name of Prince.  What makes these recordings so incredibly valuable is that they reflect an important of ht development of Prince's career and the history of the 'Minneapolis Sound.'  Look here for a full history  behind the music  (liner notes and pictures).

As the leader and founder of 94 East, a group based out of Minneapolis, MN, Pepé Willie began and developed a close relationship with Prince in the 1970s.  From this relationship came these historic recordings.
