new power soul 4 sure. Cover is so rank.....WTF was he thinking

As 4 "lovesexy", I remember the girl behind the counter thought it pretty cute that an early teen would buy that album. She asked something like "you like Prnce then" and I mumbled as I was embarressed "yeah".....

Lovesexy. disbelief

Not just cause he's naked though, but cause his eyebrows are repulsively bushy. He needs a lawnmower on those things.

The two most obvious ones are "Lovesexy" and "Dirty Mind", but I'd add "Prince", and "Parade". "Rave..." is pretty weird, as well. Seriously, why did he wear that outfit?

Parade?!?!?!?! I love that cover. The black & white, Prince in the half shirt doing that artsy pose. I adore that.

I don't know what all y'alls problem is -- I never felt weird about buying a Prince album. I guess I must be secure in my masculinity! wink

well, okay... there was this one time I bought the 12" single for "Sign O' The Times" cuz Prince was dressed like a girl... but then I found out, it wasn't Prince, it was some chick named Cat. it definitely had me wondering about the man tho.

I don't know how Prince fans can be embarrased by a feminine looking or outrageous looking album cover and not be embarrassed by classical music on the "Parade" album. Everyone knows Prince is feminine and outrageous...big deal! At least the music was hard enough to kick the ass of anyone else out there and make them shut their damned mouths. The fact that he flaunts such an outrageous image in people's faces and then kicks their heros asses is a plus to me. That's another notch in the belts of the freaks and misfits of the world. That's not the case with "Parade". The music on there is an embarrassment to me, not the cover. I've never been embarrassed by any of Prince's album covers. The fact that he's a freak made me stick with him through thick and thin.

The cover to Goldnigga (that big woman shank flanked by gold plates)--
It looks like the cover to a $5 Reggae Gold CD that you'd buy in the parking lot of a Brooklyn White Castle.
shrug

Maybe its just me.

I cant say Im really surprised by any of the covers with actual eyes to avert eye contact with. Its more the early 80s outfits that make me wanna look away--
exhibit A-- the thigh high spandex in church in the Controversy video eek

exhibit B-- the thigh high spandex in Graffiti Bridge during thieves in the temple; especially when he started to dance. eek

Exhibit C-- the lil red shorts w/the suspenders on that infamous Right On! magazine cover.
eek

etc. etc.

I find the cheapest looking cover to be 1979's Prince, then there's his moustache and chest hair

Ok, most of you are quite right about the hideous covers,

so I feel the need to speak up for one really good cover,

and that is TRC - I mean that cover is fantastic!

Lovesexy is a beautiful album cover, one of the best ever artistically in my view. Nothing to be embarrased about, it's a naked man, big deal! rolleyes

far worse is 'Come'. We all know you aren't really 7ft tall Prince, you're not fooling anyone with the trick photography. smile

There isn't a single Prince album cover that gets me as much as Lovesexy tour poster in which Prince had more makeup than Tammy Faye Baker. I got that for Christmas in 1989 and couldn't do anything with it besides roll it up and stash it in the closet. smile

Cool! I think I might copy you (when i gat my own house) I dont think my grandparents would apreciate that hanging on my wall


lol

I think that's what traumatized me about that picture...I got it for my 14th birthday from my Grandmother, and when I opened it and saw the booty pic, granny was all like "ooh, let's all see the pretty pictures inside the record!" and I was all like redface "uh, no Grandma, that's okay", and she wouldn't let up until I had to hold up a picture of Prince's bare ass for everyone to see. It wasn't a pretty moment. And it didn't help that my mom then replied, "if you think THAT'S bad, you should see the poster in the Controversy album!" disbelief

I love this one & I love Lovesexy! I have the 1999 pic on my binder & had a printed of pic of lovesexy on my binder until the teacher made me take it off.


But the covor I don't really care 4 is Emancipation. I love the Emancipation cd's it just the covor looks kind of boring.
