1999 Record Cover - Prince's Eyes?

I guess if those set of eyes do not belong to P, they belong to Vanity, can anyone verify?

I'm guessing that the're P's eyes, as they're also on the vinyl labels.

if you remember I pointed out long ago that if you watch the SNL intro.. round about when they are in a club.... you see a DJ cueing up an album... it is one of the 1999 albums or 12 inches... you can see prince eye on the label

If you look closely they look like they are taken from the Controversy cover photo.

If Vanity has eyebrows that bushy, shame on her. Look again.

I mentioned this on here before...Some may remember this: You know, when this album first came out, there was this spooky rumor about WHY P's eye was on the record. That P purposely put a picture of his eye there because he used to get so many fan letters from girls telling him that his eyes "scared" them. Also so that whenever anyone listened to the album on a turntable, if you watched the record spin around and around while listening to his music, THEN he could put a hex or a spell on you. wink For real,...that was a Prince urbun legend through 82-83. So by the time he had all of that at the end of Darling Nikki, in the intro of Let's Go Crazy, during Baby I'm A Star, it didn't sound so far fetched. lol

1999 is a scary album in some ways

The eyes on the cover and the wax

The "torture" in "Automatic", the gasps in "All the Critics"...
