Unreleased Artwork?

Apart from the very punkish artwork of Come, are there other unreleased artworks?

I think there is an alternate album cover to ATWIAD. I'm sure it's in the gallery somewhere but I couldn't be stuffed looking through it.

I think he made the right choice by not using any of those. But that around the world cover is great! smile

Someone mentioned recently about T.G.E. artwork (I think it may have been Boris) and how it was a shame that the original cover wasn't released as planned with a gold foil effect, as it lost something in the process. SOunded very... 'luxurious' smile

Have to say I really super-dig the original Jim Warren ATWIAD art, that's great.

You can see David Letterman hold it up to the camera when Prince performed 'Dolphin' on the show.

There's also a Get Wild and Exodus alternative covers floating around - The exodus one has the picture of the prince shaped building found in the Emancipation booklet.

I SO want that on a t-shirt, a 'lid' *ahem*, mug, mousemat, beach towel, and a basketball jersey for my dog with 'NPG4ever' gaudily emblazoned (in gold) across the back too.

Too bad Prince was so out of his mind during the Gold years. He had some great songs, but he didn´t know what to do because of his war with WB. The ´Come´ cover is amateurish and he probably did it to piss Warners.

He made some real good stuff then...but his fight wasn´t good for his music promotion then.

i hated the 'come' cover art when it first came out, but now i love it. it's perfect for the music, and for his whole mood at that time. ever seen a promo poster for this album? the small size of a cd cover really doesn't do the cover photo justice.
