That's always been my fav Prince picture, back when I first became a fan in '83. Anyone wanna post a jpeg of that? I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks. There was a full-page b&w version in Uptown about five years back. I'd like color tho.

edit: and yes, i do have the picture sleeve, but it be wrinkled.

Is this the one that used to be in N.Y.s Hard Rock Cafe? Yes,it used to be there and then it was moved.

those posters are always on ebay i got mine there a few months ago .

It's nice to see Prince getting some recognition; Lord knows he deserves it! The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame Museum here in Cleveland (my hometown) does not even have any display for Prince, which I feel they should.

When I went to the Hall of Fame several years ago when they first opened, they had a picture of Prince from the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine that was mixed in with other memorabilia from other artists, and that was about it. The only thing that even remotely refers to Prince is their "U Got the Look" display, that has outfits that various artists wore onstage, but yet they don't have ANY of Prince's clothes included. What a bunch of idiots! Needless to say, the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is not all that.

It will be nice if Prince gets inducted into there, and I hope that happens soon. Most of the artists that they have inducted so far have not even been remotely as talented as Prince. Until then, I probably won't be returning to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame any time soon.

Prince didnt wear the shiny coast from the 1999 video in Purple Rain. It looked like the one that is in this picture.

OOooohhh...I want it!

Purple coat... purple coat...

I only wanted to see you in a Purple Coat.

I belive in order to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame, an artist must have a career that spans at least 20 years. Therefore, Prince only became eligible in 1999. Let's hope it's not too long before they recognize his genius very soon!

I agree, Housequake!! When they put out the ballad in the local paper to vote on who you think should be inducted into the R & R Hall of Fame, you can believe that I will be voting for Prince as often as I can.

that coat is from purple rain, he wore it for a few years anyways and he is in a scene of that movie with it on
