Dont by the black album im sorry

I saw alphabet ST on rage last night. after watching it on tape today i could not find the split second message(appears on the screen for a split second:
) in the video.

I had the VCR on slow motion, so has anyone else seen this message before (with techincal helping)

i found this on an easter egg site http://www.eeggs.com/items/3652.html

n the video of the song alphabet street Prince lifts a transparent walking cane. When the cane is fully 'erect' you can see the words 'Don't buy the Black Album' on it.
This as a statement against the bootlegging that was going on after holding back the album in december 1987.

it the the part when he says "she'll want me from my head to my toes" then walks off,and disapears in the middle of the screen,as he disappears the words you are looking for appear down the middle of the screen in green text.


i feel as though ive just tried to explain the offside rule to a woman. smile
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
