Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse
Overview & History
The Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse was not a professional studio as such, but a converted rehearsal space where Prince used to record mostly band performances between May 1984 and December 1984.
The warehouse, with wood paneling on the outside was located on 9025 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie, MN, not far from the Flying Cloud airport and Starring Lake. and about 10 miles south of the Highway 7 Warehouse in St. Louis Park where Prince rehearsed and recorded until moving to this new place.
While initially rented the facility and land was later bought by Prince for $ 400.000, and converted into a rehearsal space / studio. In early 1985 it was razed as Prince planned to built a new studio there (later: Paisley Park Studios), but the plot turned out not suitable for the envisioned studio, so Prince instead bought land near his home in Chanhassen to have the studio built .
Prince started using the warehouse as a rehearsal space and studio in May 1984, after filming for Purple Rain in November and December 1983 was complete and having spent the first four months of 1984 in Los Angeles.
Studio
Prince used the building as rehearsal space and make shift studio. Like in the previous warehouse on Highway 7 in St Louis Park, MN sound issues were a challenge, as the building was highly unsuited for recordings.
