I've been around Prince forums and newsgroups and such for many years, and I have yet to see anyone say whether they see what I see on the backside of the Dirty Mind (vinyl-copy) album on the bottom. Do my eyes deceive me, or do you see it too? If you know, please confirm. He repeated the same artistic idea on the cover of Around the World in a Day.


---> I'm talking about the SHADOW under Prince.

NO! or prepared to be locked, banned, and sent to the dungeon!

andykeen said:

Nah, those patterns in the background form a large image of a nude woman on ATWIAD. The kid's feet are right by the bottom of her breast.

I dont know how he managed to carry off those heels with this outfit, but hey, you gotta appreciate somebody who can work heels into every single outfilt for 30-some-odd years.

You need to give me some of what you are drinking because that must be some good shit. I don't see any comparison. Would the flower print on the bed spread on which he is laying on "Dirty Mind" possibly match the flowers on the "Around The World In A Day" album or maybe the design on the mountains?

Wait a minute....you didn't say which side of the "Around The World In A Day" cover. Could it be the Warner Brothers logo on the back of both albums?

Is it the nude woman mountain on ATWIAD is almost the very same shape that Prince's bended knees and the bed are making, almost like he's lying on top of her ..... Ok iam really trying hard to see something LOL

I see the naked lady but, what am I missing on the Dirty Mind back cover. Please inform me

Does he mean the shape of the black shadow "under" the bed on the DM cover? How that would resemble/be a shape like the female-figure-mountain on ATWIAD?

I had this album on cassette for years and never really paid too much attention to the cover, other than P being in his draws

Then I got the CD and I realized that he is standing in front of a stripped down mattress. Just the coils. Used that damn thing till he wore it the phuc out

I think he just means the silhouette of the mountains is a woman lying down, just like Prince is lying down, just as Danza said in the first post.

Y'all don't see the shadow of the man lying down under Prince with his pants open and his manliness sticking up????

Wow, I guess I was right that not many people know about this. Only one person in this thread has mentioned it (GuardianAngel).

The real kinky part about this is of course that Prince's feet heels are on his face...

I guess you could say that. Interesting that the "fly" of the guy's pants match up directly under Prince's arm. I wonder what they used to create the shadow back then (different bits and pieces, excuse the pun)? The whole thing could come across as homo-erotic, but I think it's just Prince's twisted humor.
