The Gold Experience

The Gold Experience is a (formerly known as Prince) album released in 1995. The album is considered by some fans to be the Purple Rain of the 1990s, due to the rock and roll feel, accessibility of the tracks and 's own admission that the song "Gold" would be the next "Purple Rain". Prince wanted to release The Gold Experience as a album in 1994, alongside Come, which was a "Prince" album of "old" material. The idea was to show the superior quality of the newer work. Warner Bros. felt the market would be over-saturated with Prince material and withheld the album. was prompted to protest by appearing in public with the word "Slave" written on his face and stating The Gold Experiences release date would be "never". Unfortunately, by the time the album actually was released in 1995, 's interest in it had passed and he was already working on songs for his 3-CD opus, Emancipation. As a result, the album was not the commercial success it could have been with the proper promotion.
