Lotusflow3r Would Have Made a great picture disc

Lotusflow3r Would Have Made a great picture disc... I miss the days of the vinyl picture discs... The last ones I got was Fury and Black Sweat...

Nah, I'm growing tired of picture discs. There was something special about them in the 80's when they were the exception, but now they are more or less all any artist spew out, when the want to make a "special deluxe unlimited 12" spectacular".

I'm more fond of cover sleeves, and would much rather have Prince put together some inlays and booklets.

Its not his best artwork I will give you that but its by no means the worst. I think Musicology is worse, Emancipation is worse, even Planet Earth I think isn't better than the Lotusflw3r/MLPSound... (JMO)

Different pics from Lotusflow3r/MPLSound would have made an excellent calendar.

I agree, and in fact those albums were not issued as picture discs. In the past Prince issued great picture discs (my favourites are Thunder, Sexy Mf, U got the look, Sign of the times, Kiss, just to name a few), but I think that in the last 15 years there were very few sleeves that would have deserved a picture disc treatment. "Black sweat" was cool, but "Fury" wasn't
