The album was much better received in sales than the film, reaching #6 in the United States and #1 in the United Kingdom. Nearly every song on the record was written by Prince despite the handful of artists performing, including Tevin Campbell, Mavis Staples and The Time. The album produced the hit singles "Thieves in the Temple" and "New Power Generation", an anthem in two parts celebrating Prince's newly created backing band, The New Power Generation. The band would get its first official outing on Prince's next album, Diamonds and Pearls. Though its 17 tracks constituted a double album, the significance of this was obscured by the rising popularity of the CD format.
Evolution of the album
The concept for the album and film began as early as 1987, or possibly earlier, but kept getting delayed for various reasons. The title track was originally recorded during this period, hence the liner notes listing Sheila E. and Boni Boyer as performers on the track. In fact, nearly the entire album is composed of previously recorded tunes that were updated for this release.
The plot re-joins The Kid, in his future life as a performer and club owner. Morris (Morris Day), his rival from Purple Rain, returns as co-owner of The Kid's club, Glam Slam, as well as several others in the area, including his mainstay, Pandemonium. The Kid is forced into paying Morris $10,000 so Morris can pay off the mayor; The Kid in turn can keep co-ownership of his club. Losing clientele, The Kid challenges Morris to a music battle for ownership of Glam Slam.
A trailer (also known as a preview or coming attraction) is an advertisement or a commercial for a feature film that will be exhibited in the future at a cinema. The term "trailer" comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a feature film screening. That practice did not last long, because patrons tended to leave the theater after the films ended, but the name has stuck. Trailers are now shown before the film (or the A-movie in a double feature) begins.
Movie trailers have now become popular on DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as on the Internet and mobile devices. Of some 10 billion videos watched online annually, film trailers rank third, after news and user-created video. The trailer format has also been adopted as a promotional tool for television shows, video games, books, and theatrical events/concerts.
History
The first trailer shown in a U.S. film theater was in November 1913, when Nils Granlund, the advertising manager for the Marcus Loew theater chain, produced a short promotional film for the musical The Pleasure Seekers, opening at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway. Loew adopted the practice, which was reported in a wire service story carried by the Lincoln, NebraskaDaily Star, describing it as "an entirely new and unique stunt", and that "moving pictures of the rehearsals and other incidents connected with the production will be sent out in advance of the show, to be presented to the Loew’s picture houses and will take the place of much of the bill board advertising". Granlund was also first to introduce trailer material for an upcoming motion picture, using a slide technique to promote an upcoming film featuring Charlie Chaplin at Loew's Seventh Avenue Theatre in Harlem in 1914.

Kim Basinger ended up in a relationship with Prince and the two of them penned an early version of Graffiti Bridge. It combined the former character 'Angel' played by Kim Basinger and "Electra" planned for Jill Jones into one, named "Aura" but now to be played by Ingrid Chavez.
The early versions of the film were not supposed to be connected to Purple Rain in any way. However, once prince was approved for financing Warner Bros began to have misgivings about the films viability. Approval for financing was partially based on Kim Basinger's involvement in the production. Kim Basinger was widely known to have been directing Graffiti Bridge. However, around January of 1990 Kim & Prince had a falling out. She removed herself from the Minneapolis based production. Prince tapped his current manager and director of Purple Rain but Albert Magnoli declined and then resigned.
Its not as if Prince had not made mistakes in the past. Critics destroyed Under the Cherry Moon. Fans of Purple Rain did not understand UTCM for the most part. Fans were mixed on Around the world in a day and the parade albums. Sign O the Times was brilliant, while sales were far from PR levels. Lovesexy was confusing to most as well. It seemed that Prince's hardcore fans and some holdovers from the salad days were left in the Minneapolis Genius' corner.
BATMAN changed everything. Hanging with Batman heightened Prince's public awareness to PR levels. Warner Bros spent unholy amounts of money on Batman and Prince benefitted. Prince was the hero again. He cashed in, and started a reputedly wild affair with Batman's leading lady and hollywood rising star Kim Basinger.
Prince and Kim retired to Paisley Park and lived happily ever after.
In his 1992 Rolling Stone interview, Burton reveals that Prince and the studio's eagerness to make this collaboration happen left him feeling trapped. "What happens is, you get engaged in this world, and then there’s no way out. There’s too much money. There’s this guy you respect and is good and has got this thing going. It got to a point where there was no turning back. And I don’t want to get into that situation again."
As he did with his first two films - Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Beetlejuice - Burton largely leaned on a score provided by Oingo Boingo's Danny Elfman throughout the movie. Besides "Trust," the only song to receive major screen time is the Nicholson-inspired "Partyman," which accompanies the Joker's destructive visit to a museum.

We've been over this a thousand times Spinnin' our wheels instead of saying goodbye Down by the water where we first kissed Goin' under Graffiti Bridge It's still brighter than a neon sign I remember watchin' you paint your name next to mine We couldn't try no harder so it's come down to this I can't get over Graffiti Bridge I can still see your thunderbird fly Kissin' me sweet, lettin' me drive I still hear the whisper of my name on your lips I can't get over Graffiti Bridge Let me hold you here one last time I'm a heartbeat away from the Arkansas line I could travel one thousand miles away from this But will I ever get over Graffiti Bridge I can still see your thunderbird fly Kissin' me sweet, lettin' me drive I still hear the whisper of my name on your lips I can't get over Graffiti Bridge I can still see your thunderbird fly Kissin' me sweet, lettin' me drive I still hear the whisper of my name on your lips I can't get over Graffiti Bridge
