HERE IS THE PRESS RELEASE:
**********************************************************************************************
RELEASE DATE 22/7/02 PRINCE (2CD)
Pepe Willie's band - 94 East will always be remembered as the band that gave the young Prince Rogers Nelson his first studio experience - let's face it, a good enough reason to be remembered.
What's often overlooked is the skill and talent of Willie's ensemble and the influence it had on the developing 'Minneapolis Sound' - not to mention the influence it had on the developing Prince.
The sound is light, funky, soulful rock and, here packaged with alternate takes, instrumental versions and practice sessions, it can be enjoyed in a whole new light.
Contains the dance floor hit 'If You Feel Like Dancing' and early Prince composition 'Just Another Sucker'.
This release will be serviced to selected on and offline press.
