3121

I have a Lovesexy tour working crew t-shirt. It was given to my father by a friend of his who worked on daid tour. With the t-shirt came a few tid-bits of trivia. The entire crew worked to a whistle.. once the whistle was blown, work was stopped regardless of where they were upto in their duties. They said sometimes lighting rigs were left hanging unsafely etc.. Furthermore, when Prince would walk onto the stage, on into a room where crew workers were standing, they would have to turn their backs to him - if this wasnt possible they were not to look at him.

That's one thing that gets me about Prince, he asks ridiculous things, I'm surprised so many people just go along with it.

Rarest--not sure, would probably be either the 16 track Goldnigga cd, Sexy Dancer (long version) on vinyl, or the UK single (vinyl) of Little Red Corvette with the calendar poster still in it. Not really that rare (especially compared to some collectors on HQ--they are hardcore!).

Coolest--for me it's something I made myself & an event associated with it: the Party Up! sign in my avatar, which was posted on npgmc.com last summer as part of a crowd shot from Prince's Good Morning America appearance, and the NPG digital image (in my profile). The sign gave a shout out to the Org, HQ, and NPG. It was one of my proudest moments as a Prince fan. mr.green lol

I have 6 guitar picks from the "Seattle" ONA show. I was in the front row and after the show they were just scattered around the mic stand. JB was talking to some of us and I asked him if I could have them...he said help yourself. SO I picked them up and said thanks. He then gave me a pair of his drum sticks. Great show!!

I once owned one of those purple "symboled" condoms that he put out.
I didn't consider it rare or cool back when it was in my possesion.

It ended up getting stuck in the butt of the girl whom I used it on (though she didn't realize it).

So now,
in "hindsight",
I think of it as both as rare & cool.*

No. I got it at a show.

Prince used to throw most of his Parade clothes in the audience, but never one of the Kiss Jackets. He always used to throw them off, but always into the photography/security pit, never to the audience.

I happened to be in the front row, and the jacket landed in the pit right in front of me. There lay the dilemma....Do I lean in and get it?

Being an excited kid, I thought, to hell with it. when I did pick it up a security guard saw me but didn't say anything.

At the "Jam Of The Year" tour back in 1997, some crazy bitch on the front row threw her bra up on the stage. Prince reached down, picked it up, and threw it out into the audience. It landed on a chair in the third row which was in front of me in the fourth row. I picked it up, and like a fool, I swung it in the air all night long instead of hiding it.

That damn girl came to me afterwards and begged for her bra back because "Prince touched it". I said "You gave it up when you threw it on the stage. I know Prince touched it, that's why I want it." She begged and begged and then people around me were going "Aw come on, let her have her bra back." Like a fool, I gave it back. When I think back, me and her should have been scrapping over it on the floor. lol

What track would that be?


That bit was left out on purpose! smile

Simply because I don't want to give anything away and get the person that gave it to me into trouble. Part of the deal was I promised not to sell it, promote it or copy it.

Its not the big reel pre-mixed tape by the way, its the more throwaway solid metal studio cassette tape.


Are you talking about that studio demo of Lonely Christmas? The one where you could hear prince talking during the demo where he continues to tweak the song as he goes. He also talks to band members and music engineers during the taping.

Oops, I almost forgot. A co-worker of mine, who also works at the coliseum, gave me her "Jam Of The Year Tour" backstage pass along with her Rick James "Cold Blooded Tour" backstage pass, her Isley Brothers "Go For Your Guns Tour" backstage pass, and her Cher "Farewell Tour" backstage pass.

I guess the rarest is the cd of 1999 without DMSR.


What would that CD be worth? I have a mate with that CD and all he does is moan that the track is missing.

The best I can do is...

- an original WB Europe vinyl pressing of the Black Album. Had a chance to buy two, but I was 18 and stupid and elected to just purchase one. A guy offered me $500 for it a few years later -- man, did I wish I had that second copy.

- Batman CD in a film canister (I doubt this is that rare.)

- Purple Rain, Parade, Sign 'O' The Times and Lovesexy tourbooks

- Those cheesy comic books from the D&P/O+> days.

- Around The World In A Day CD in the original packaging

Probably more, but I can't think of any right now.

I thought that I once found the hand puppet that P uses in Purple Rain in a very poor, beat-up condition.
I appeared on that "Antiques Roadshow" to get an assessment of how much it was worth in it's current condition.
They told me that it was just a really old, worthless, over-sized badminton shuttlecock.

NO
If you really had that purple coat from the video, which I doubt, you shouldn't reveal that selfishness, and donate it to the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
