[edit] The Album

According to singer Al Johnson, the album's title is meant to elicit connotations of emotion, as, to him, purple is an emotional color. The "on time" aspect of the title is meant to evoke sexual associations related to climax. [1] Al Johnson describes the records as a "love record," and contends that the band intended to make an album of love songs, but their intention went unnoticed. [2]
