About this product

Product Information

Photographer Allen Beaulieu worked with Prince from the late 1970s into the early '80s, capturing the musician's progression from rising star to his ultimate purple superstardom. Always at Prince's side with camera in hand, Beaulieu helped Prince carry forward his vision with legendary album cover images and promotional photos during the groundbreaking Dirty Mind, Controversy, and 1999 era, while also capturing live performances on tour with Prince. Prince: Before the Rain puts into focus the hallmark imagery--including behind-the-scenes, candid, and casual shots--with recollections from Beaulieu on his personal and professional relationship with Prince. Accomnpanying text will take the readers deeper into the context of these crucial years, with reminiscences from former bandmates, including Bobby Z., Dez Dickerson, André Cymone, and more. Prince: Before the Rain paints another important picture in the mythology of the celebrated, influential, and endlessly invigorating performer while providing an intimate portrait of the Minnesota artist about to take over the world.

"Allen was like another member of the band. He was the only photographer that I ever remember just hanging around with us. Prince trusted him more than anyone since, I think. Al was allowed to be around in the dressing rooms and at rehearsals. . . . He was there in beginning, and we were really close, and he was a punk like we were. I am so glad to see someone unearthing his stuff."Lisa Coleman "Working with Al was very natural; it flowed. The magic of how Al worked--and I think it's the thing that really appealed to Prince--is he had a way of conducting things along without being overbearing or reducing people to action figures or something. It was very organic, and he managed to pull something out of this disparate set of human beings."Dez Dickerson, With 200 pages of beautifully printed shots, Minneapolis photographer Allen Beaulieu's Prince coffee-table book is A-U-T-O-matically definitive. Many iconic images are present and accounted for, including the covers of Dirty Mind and Controversy and their accompanying singles, plus press shots and inner-sleeve images from 1999. But what really elevates Before the Rain is an intimacy you simply can't find anywhere else. Beaulieu, Prince's main photographer from 1979 to 1983, catches the maestro not only hard at work and relaxing backstage but full-on goofing off; no other Prince tome has pink-hued color test shots of the Purple One with a red bandanna on his face, pretending to suck his thumb. The multi-page spread of Prince and his band before and after their notorious 1981 opening set for the Rolling Stones--during which the audience pelted them with garbage--is nearly a documentary in itself. -Michaelangelo Matos, author of The Underground Is Massive, "Allen was like another member of the band.

The most Beautiful Prince Book I've Seen!
Absolutely beautiful photos throughout the entire book! Never-before-seen photos from behind the scenes! Like a lot of books out there about Prince there are some inaccuracies in it, but not as many as other well-known books. Love the photos of Prince and Denise Matthews AKA Vanity!!! Wonderful books!!! 0-(+>
