It's OK but someone should tell Prince that if you are going to pose nude, spread your damn legs open so people can see the dick. Hell, I don't see a damn thing. Not showing the dick defeats the whole purpose of posing nude.

dick ain't spirituality, man. lol

It looks like a bad photoshop.


1988, did they even have Photoshop back then? If they did it was very basic. Compositing stuff wasn't as easy as it is now. We had the latest thing at our college, a Quantel Paintbox, cost about a quarter of a million and did what photoshop does now!

I can totally see how people thought this cover was embarassing at the time, I loved it personally and never had a problem with it, but then in Europe we are far more open to such things, not like the USA where a nipple on tv is a national scandal and yet has a massive legitimate porn industry... I think Lovesexy went to number 1 in the UK..? The cover didn't put off buyers here.

It sure didn't,it was his best selling album,next 2 PR,at the time.I think D&P was the only one that sold more than Lovesexy.
But sometimes,even In Europe,some kids made jokes about the cover;especially those who loved Guns&Roses,Bon Jovi & Bryan Adams...

I don't know about photoshop, but they had airbrushing and this pic is covered in it.

If the idea was for Prince to be presenting himself in a "pure" way to God, wouldn't it have made more sense to show him sans makeup, and without his flaws coloured out?

I was never embarassed by the cover, I never got the controversy of it.

Its not likes P's got a raging small on or something.

I just thought it was a bad looking picture.

Dick is like the holy ghost

I never felt such a feelin'

Apparently the camel toe picture doesn't have the same effect on others as it does to me.

I remember being in a music store about 10 years ago, and I took this cd up to the counter. The guy behind the counter laughed at me, and then showed it to two of his co-workers who all laughed too. I felt really stupid for buying this album.

But I loved the music.
