Controversy Ad

I came across this ad a few days ago.
I don't remember seeing or being aware of it in any publications,at the time.
Anyone aware of where/how this Ad was distributed?

It would make a nice addition to any collection.
When I first saw it, I thought "RollingStone"

Wow I love that ad. Great find!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I had never seen the Ad until this past year. I didn't know if it was real or not. Cool.

What issue of Billboard did it appear in?

Really?
Where'd you see it?
I'm still not sure about the dates the ad ran.

I'm checking into 80'-82' issues.

Yeah, gotta give a big thanks to the person that originally scanned this in, because before about a year or so ago, I had never seen this advert before, it definately must've been scanned/circulated online recently to then, and it really is bloody brilliant.

cool

DAMN! That's hella cool! I remember everything during that period and I own many of the posters, tour books from the Controversy tour, rude boy t-shirts, etc. But I have NEVER seen that poster/pic before. Damn.
