User Album Review
Intended to release the album on 7 June 1994 The Gold Experience was postponed by Warner Brothers to not compete with that August’s release of Come, their withholding The Gold Experience heightened Prince’s embittered dispute over his contract with the label and their ownership of his music, plus the fact that he considered The Gold Experience also to be his best work, the fall out from this would consume Prince for years to follow. Aptly, it is certified Gold by the RIAA.
The CD single The Most Beautiful Girl In The World would precede the album by some 19 months. It would become Prince’s first and only UK number one. Prince also continued with the supporting tour The Ultimate Live Experience, regardless, during which large screens showcased the album’s artwork emblazoned with: “release date … NEVER!”. It became the first ever tour to promote an album not even released, and with the very real prospect of The Gold Experience never being released (albeit it was eventually released in September 1995 and long after the tour had finished). The lead single The Most Beautiful Girl In The World became Prince’s first release under the name of The Artist Formally Known As Prince (The Artist Formally Known As Prince), its release only permitted by Warner under the proviso Prince pay for the distribution himself. So he did – putting it out under NPG Records, his new label which replaced the recently closed Paisley Park Records. The voice of the NPG Operator is Rain Ivana.
