Nope, you'll wrong. Prince took those pictures from a book he published back in 92 called The Saciface Of Victor when the O+> album was released. He put those pictures in the liner notes of COME.


Actually fact-fans, you're wrong too. The Sacrifice of Victor was published in 1994, and the shots taken during the 1993 Act II tour of Europe.

Personally, I think Terry Gydesen's photos are some of the very best photos ever taken of Prince - most are unposed, and just caught off-guard shots. Obviously Prince had a major (if not FINAL) say on what was eventually used, and I would imagine that he had the remaining shots/negatives (of which there were hundreds) destroyed.

What remains are glimpses of a side of Prince many rarely get to see, and in that respect I think she should be applauded for capturing that. As nice as the more recent 'Hawaii' book is, it's a little too 'perfect' for me (although there are a number of great shots I like also)

I do like the book and can appreciate the photos, but i can't help thinking that the little dude looks a bit ill in them. sad should've been a few more photos of him tucking into a big roast dinner. biggrin
