.. is that Prince?
Looks more like him than the guy wearin his outfit.

No, it's not him. Prince is one of the nuns at the back.

The old man kinda reminds me of his father!

Blonde hair?

I always assumed the blonde guy was Prince because of the "Raspberry Beret" cloud suit but the face looks nothing like him and the heels are not skinny enough. And most obviously, the blonde hair.

I agree that the old guy does resemble his father.

Actually, the cat in the cloud suit is Brown Mark, just with blond hair. He looks like Mark in the face and has Mark's build. Also Mark's flat heels. Here's a question for ya'll? Anybody spot Michael Jackson?

This album cover along with all of the early album covers were a source of intense study for me and my Prince discliple friends ...

We would have long discussions, trying to figure out what was on them..

I can still go back to some of them and see things that I don't remember catching back then..

That's the same thing as his sons.. I go back and hear subtle things I don't remembering noticing in thepast..

For some reason that cover always freaked me out as a teenager

Just realised that the hills form the figure of a nude women on her back.

That old man, isn't he the old man from the lyrics of the song Paisley Park?

Mj is standing besides prince

And why would Michael be on the cover?

I've tried to figure out who was who, but I still don't know which one is Prince.

Oh, and the old man does look a lot like his father!

Can anyone please confirm which character is supposed to be Prince? Very difficult to see...should get vinyl then I'd have a larger image! Agree about the old man and can pick out Wendy, Lisa et al.

I always thought the guy eating the ice cream above the man in the blue cloud suit was Prince?

Ah! Yep think I agree with you! Thanks!

Mike would be on the cover because 1) Michael was P's arch rival 2)The Beatles album Sgt Pepper made mention to their arch rivals, The Stones, on that album cover. Which is no doubt P was hip to. Mike is the cat licking the ice cream cone. The ice cream man = children. Look at the pose as well. Thriller cover, anyone?

thank u!

its great to see theres people that think the same thing.

Christaro said:

Yea, I reckon your right, that white nun in the middle looks a lot like him. I've had this album for years and never noticed it....weird.

Why is the old man crying though? Does it have anything to do with any lyrics in a song?

He looks pretty sad.

Actually I was wondering if there was a better picture too because it's only a corner of the cover art.

Christaro said:

That's what I always assumed.

OK, makes sense, thanks
