I just bought a used copy of it and I was wondering it it comes with an insert of any kind. My copy just had the record in a plain white paper sleeve. Thanks!

Mine came with the white sleeve, but also the shower poster.

A poster? Well, that explains why it's not there I'll have to find myself a new copy, then. Does Prince typically give posters with his records? I bought a new copy of Purple Rain and it had one. My used copy of 1999 didn't, but it had the two inserts. I'd kill for a poster of the 1999 insert of the entire band. They look awesome ^_^.

No. Those are the only two I know of. "For You" has a nice sleeve with him sitting on a bed naked holding a big guitar. "Rainbow Children" has a really big version of the cd booklet. "Graffiti Bridge" has a nice sleeve, as does the "Prince" lp.

I know For You hasn't had that picture sleeve since 1984 when I bought mine, because mine didn't come with that pic -- it had an old-styled Warner Bros. generic sleeve instead. Sign O' The Times came with a postcard.

Yea, I got that one too and it's stupid WB left the "Sleeve Design by Prince" credit on the album cover.

f'real? that sux...i wonder why they got rid of the original sleeve? i've got a first pressing copy of for you with that sleeve.

yeah, i've never really dug around for this one -- i need to check my local used record stores and finally get the pic sleeve

Mine says "Promational Copy Not For Sale." I bought it off Ebay a few years back. Do you think this hurts the value of the record? Not that I really care, though.

a promo copy, eh? did it come with the poster and promo sheets as well?

No, just the sleeve (and an extra white sleeve?), but the record is on the old WB label with the palm trees, but I assume the first pressings were all like that.

Sweet, thanks for the info, guys! This will be most helpful for when I'm out scavenging the record bins ^_^.
