I saw this at Sam Goody...

I was browsing SG in Baltimore and saw this tucked away on the rack...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/e...65-9317217

I can't find a pic, but the package was black with a black and white pic of P's head off to the side. It also had a "made in Holland" sticker on the back of it...

So my question is: What's this? and (supplemental question) Is it rare or somethin'? I can't find the actual version I saw in the store anywhere online (except for that one link).

From the FAQ:

4.9 What is 94 East / Symbolic Beginning / One Man Jam?

Prior to Prince securing a record contract, Prince's early musical adventures resulted in him meeting a musician, Pepe Willie, who had moved to Minneapolis from New York and married Prince's cousin. Pepe Willie offered Prince opportunities to perform on a number of studio recordings with his group, 94 East, dating back to 1975.

In 1986, Pepe Willie released some of these recordings, originally under the title, 94 East: Minneapolis Genius - The Historic 1977 Recordings. Pepe Willie has subsequently released essentially the same recordings, sometimes remixed, on more than one occasion through different record labels and under different titles (Symbolic Beginnings, One Man Jam).

speaking of pre WB recordings... they say that there are many prince songs that he did (mostly with Chris Moon) that were used for various local commercials and radio... that may well be undiscovered.

well he lent his guitar and voice to The Lewis Connection's "Got To Be Something Here" in 1977 so i would probably agree with you.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!
