PURPLE UNDERGROUND MAGAZINE 2 funny. I was going thru a bunch of old magazines (everyone with a printer seemed to make one back then) about Prince and found one that made me laugh so hard. It was called Purple Underground. Does anyone remember this? I remember hearing that the dude that put it out had to go into hiding because he ripped off so many people when he didn't come out with the issues he was supposed to deliver. I never dealt with him, but from what I remember hearing he was some trader who kept ripping people off.
Does anyone know about this magazine? If you remember it find it take it out and re-read it. No wonder it didnt continue publishing! I also found some great old issues of The Prince Family. Now that was a very good magazine. Wish theyd continued. What happened to them? | |

Diana, who ran the Prince Family mag and web site changed it to the (no) prince family when P started sueing websites for using his name back in 98-99'.
She finally got fed up with the whole thing and shut her website down and sold off all her Prince merchandise and music. She held an on-line auction before closing down her site. Prince really pissed her off. "
First I need a picture of your mother, to verify the fact that there's not another one in the universe so supreme!!" | |

Prince really pissed her off. That explains The Prince Family but I guess no one ever heard of the dude or company (ha!) that slapped together the Purple Underground. Prince Family was a great mag with everything that a fan could want. I put them up there with Uptown. The other one was probably being investigated for mail fraud or something and had to go into hiding! lol Prince must have really pissed of Diane to make her stop her mag, shut down her website and sell her prince stuff. dayammm! | |
