Description

Acetate test pressing of Dale Bozzio's debut album Riot in English (Paisley Park/WB 25658) from Bernie Grundman Mastering, which was sent to Prince for his approval. Includes the original Bernie Grundman Mastering sleeve, annotated on the front, "Dale, Aug 19, 1987." In fine condition, with soiling to the labels on the disc. From the collection of an early Prince insider. Acetate test pressings are made of a material much more fragile than the vinyl used for production records, and they are made in extremely limited qualities. After the breakup of her band Missing Persons, Bozzio signed onto Prince's Paisley Park label as a solo artist. Prince wrote, produced, and largely performed the track 'So Strong,' which features Bozzio's vocals dubbed over an instrumental track recorded by Prince.
