Unless there was actual documentation that could back this up and confirm it, then I agree.

An e-mail from my trusted source:

"...I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about a one-of-a-kind Prince memorabilia item that I'm about to offer. You are receiving special notification of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Are you ready for this? I'm going to be offering the microphone used by Prince in the "1999", "Little Red Corvette" & "Automatic" videos. That's right! You could own this unique piece of music history.

I've received numerous requests to sell Prince memorabilia from my private collection. I've wrestled a bit as to whether to offer this item or to keep it and pass it down to my family. I've decided it's something that needs to be made available to true fans and serious collectors."

My friend has the coolest Prince collectible: he has the insurance form for Prince's 67 Buick Wildcat from the UTCM movie. Its says on it: Insured to PRINCE ROGERS NELSON/Chanhassen MINN. The type of car and something about Paisley Park on it. ITs really cool. He has it framed with some film cells from the UTCM movie....


anyway, what kind of mic is that-senheiser?

Over the course of the last 24 years, just buying the albums, going to the movies and concerts, along with other Prince related items, I believe I have spent more than my fair share of $$$$...and will buy more...Just not all at one time.. worship
