So I don't have the physical copy of Emancipation, since it's out of print at present. Is this the album booklet?

Happy 25th birthday to the album! It was released on this day in 1992.

No. If I recall it came with the Jam Of The Year tour.

You could buy the Emancipation lyrics-book from Prince's website (I did buy this)....

1 strange thing, about this Emancipation book:

Not all the songs had the lyrics printed in this book


The cover songs

Betcha By Golly Wow,
I Can't Make U Love Me,
Lalala Means I Love U
etc.

Those lyrics were not printed.

Damn I was a little disappointed when I found out (because I like these songs )

The pictures in the book were very nice.

I would love to get my hands on a one of these JOTY tour books. What pictures are in there? Were they all of or were there photos of Mayte and the NPG?

.

Overall, I like the Emancipation era. I don't remember it first hand, but I've learned about it since 4/21/16 and I like many of the songs from that era. I also like the maturation that he shows on the album as far as him being a devoted husband an an ecstatic father to be, because I think that him being a family man really brought out the best in him personally. Up until the death of his son, 1996 was a very good year for him. He got married, he became independent of Warner Brothers, and he seemed to be very happy and at peace---and the songs on Emacipation reflect this. He's so full of love on that album, plus he was so happy to be a free, independent artist.

^ I cannot help I am afraid = the org well I can't post any pics from my photobucket account, anymore;

I don't know what is wrong, why I cannot do it?? I get an error everytime.

When the hell was this? Kind of casual for P and damn is he skinny. I am guessing 2009.

Peek-a-boo...

Never seen this in any of the pic threads. Very glad to have this in my collection, the Spanish promo CD single of Space.

I've seen the bottom one of him with the guitar. In the top photo, Who is that in his hand? Mayte? The top photo is VERY strange to me, even by Prince's standards, because he did some strange things.

Many of the pics are out there. Like these:

No it is not Mayte. The concept was Steve Parke's idea who was experimenting with photoshop at the time.

Rather pretty for a 57 year old drug addicted man...odd.

DAMN!!!

I didn't think the woman was Mayte. Thanks for sharing the background info about Steve Parke's concept for the photo.
