I sent off for fan club info, back in 198-something. I got a post card with him wearing that lace thing over one eye, asking me to join "The New Breed"...

I wonder if that ever panned out.

yep, got lots of cool stuff back then

yep....

I wrote to the fan club address on two albums and got something back twice. The first time was the fan club address on the "Dirty Mind" album. I got back a post card with a picture of Prince with a bandana around his neck. At the bottom read "My all, Prince". The second time was the address on the "Sign O The Times" album. I got back a post card with a picture of Prince in a yellow suit.

I lost both the post cards, my "Controversy" shower poster, my "Delirious" 45 bed poster, and my "Purple Rain" band poster when I moved. I think one of the movers might have stolen them.

This is sounding very familiar.

I remember getting something in the mail... i think they were buttons with Purple Rain shots on them.....maybe something wtih the yellow suti from parade era.....

Maybe I got a tape or something??? I can't remember.

I got a free tape of "The War" in the 1990s. It was totally unexpected. I just looked in the mailbox one day and there it was.

The SOTT album (vinyl) came with an orange postcard,addressed to Paisley Park.I mailed it in,not sure what to expect.The only thing they ever sent me was a promo ad for the Good Question album

The same shit happened 2 me!!!

I sent away the orange card that came w/ Sign O' the times. i got a big postcard of Prince in a yellow suit w/a black cloud guitar that had a maple neck. It told me to send 7 dollars to some address. I never did, caus I was 16 and broke ass. I'm fairly certain i still have the postcard somewhere.

You must be the one that stole mine.

Yes,Movers Suck! They Don't Realize that Some Fans Would KILL THEMSELVES or GO MENTALLY ILL if Their BELONGINGS are RUINED or STOLEN. You can be so careful and they Just THROW Yourself around and they go through it and Repack . They are SLOBS. Then when you try to put a Claim in thy ARE CHEAP after RUINING and STEALING Your Stuff. I Don't Think they care if you Swallow Pills or Check into the HOSPITAL Cause they HURT YOU SO BAD. It's Really Severe for me and I would NEVEr STEAL From ANYBODY so for them to do this to me is PURE SIN!!! God,Knows what People do and How can THEY LIVE with THEMSELVES Having NO SOUL or CONSCIENCE? My MOVERS Didn't CARE and RUINED ALOT of MY STUFF. I didn't NEED ANYONE RUINING my Tee-shirts , Exercise Equipment or Collectibles. They Can NEVER Make it Up to me Cause I will NEVER FORGIVE them. PRINCE is EVERYTHING to ME.

Um..yeah, Prince means alot to me too.

Wow, I was always going to start a thread about the new breed club. They sent out quite a bit of stuff. I still have the metal "Prince" pin and a couple of posters and post cards.

If I remember correctly, they wanted $14 to renew and sadly I was too broke and didn't. Was is P's official fan club and how long did the club exist? Does anyone know?

Thanks for showing this off...I admire Prince for being adventurous.

Zelaira said:

what's your real name? prince needs it.

(to file a restraining order...)

I just saw this on ebay. I forgot how much stuff they mailed the first time. I probably threw mine years ago, I never had professional movers and have no one to blame!
