Inside Paisley Park

Peter Willis of the Daily Mirror had the experience.

…he led me to his recording studio in the complex and invited me to sit in his leather swivel chair at the enormous mixing desk…

Wow! I had finally arrived at the epicentre of Prince’s world – the scene of fabled all-night recording sessions in which he apparently played up to 27 instruments.

This is where the genius behind classics such as Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, 1999 and Let’s Go Crazy created his great music. The walls were a vibrant reddish purple, flickering candles lined every ledge and the smell of incense filled the air.
