Best Prince CD Booklet

For me, I like 4 of Prince's CD booklets. The first one has to be Diamonds & Pearls just because of it's cheap, but beautiful holographic cover. Although, it's not one of my favorite Prince albums, it nice to move the CD back and forth to see the 3-D picture. The second one is Musicology because it looks very urban. Look at those pictures inside-- the new Prince. The third one has to be RAVE UN2 THE JOY FANTASTIC because it looks digital and computer-generated. Aside from the beautiful, yet tacky album cover, the booklet itself can be used as a poster. And last, but not least, The Hits/The B-Sides because of the black and white photos. Looks very classy and the liners notes are top-notch. What is your pick for the best Prince CD Booklet? headbang

Around the World in a Day

I like the feel of the special "Prince World" - Plus I like how the mountains in the background is a woman on her back.

Unfortunately his booklets don't usually have much content. I generally like CD booklets in general because of nice pics. But of the ones I have, TGE and NPS tie for first.

For the albums For You 'til LoveSexy you should judge the LP-artwork!
They were designed for the LP-cover.

Around The World In A Day is the greatest LP-cover ...

As a booklet ... the booklet is too little for all the persons
and the lyrics are just printed instead of the beautiful artwork from the LP-cover!

I like the booklet from The Hits/B-Sides. Just the fact that it has rare (official) insights into the songs makes it cool.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
