In 1975, Brooklyn - based Pepe Willie went to Cookhouse Recording Studios in Minneapolis to record demos of five original songs. With no local backing group, he gathered a young team of musicians, including 16 - year - old guitar genius Prince Rogers Nelson. These recordings, known as 'The Cookhouse 5', feature Prince's distinct guitar playing, adding a perfect touch to 94 East's brief yet charming song collection. It's a key record for the origins of the Minneapolis Sound. The B - side has instrumental versions, giving a great view of Prince's expressive style even in his teens. This is an early recording from a 1975 Minnesota funk & soul group with Prince on guitar. It comes on gold colored vinyl, has instrumentals on side B, and is housed in a deluxe foil - stamped sleeve. Music label: Numero Group 2021.
This vinyl LP is a great music collectible. To play it, just place it on a turntable, lower the needle gently onto the record, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on the record. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in its sleeve to prevent warping. The deluxe foil - stamped sleeve is also delicate, so try not to bend or scratch it. Enjoy the unique sound of this early recording featuring Prince's amazing guitar work.
