About 94 East:
94 East was formed in the late 1970s by Pep's233; Willie, who learned the business of music from his uncle, Clarence Collins, a founding member of Little Anthony 's38; The Imperials,
which will soon be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pep's233; began working with a teen band, then named Grand Central, which was composed of Prince (Rogers Nelson), Andre's
Anderson (Andre Cymone), Morris Day, William Dowdy, and Linda Anderson. While recording his own demo, Pep's233; hired Prince and Andre Cymone to record tracks on 94 East'ss classic demo
sessions, and later hired Prince to record on the two featured songs of this CD, 10:15 and Fortune Teller. 94 East was originally introduced in 1985 on Hot Pink Records with an LP
entitled Minneapolis Genius 94 East featuring Prince: The Historical Recordings. For more information, please visit http://www.94eastmpls.com.
