my purple rain autographed backstage pass

A 1987 Black Album original numbered vinyl, I'd say.
Or the (not so rare I guess...) Family LP, love the artwork and picture, not to mention the music.
And a ruined Gold experience cassette, for personal reasons.
Couple of boots, of the shows I attended...

I've got a Mica Paris 12"ep (misspressing?) with Prince's original demo* (*the shorter of the 2 ciculating versions) on it by accident, because it says on the label/cover that it should be Mica's album version(?) Wierd! I wonder if it was corrected and I have a limited edition or it is quite wide-spread. Anyone know anymore about this? I'd love to ask Mica actually! maybe I'll e-mail her at the beeb!

I have some superb Prince condoms called "Purple Raincoats".

And unlike the line in Little Red Corvette - "none of them used"

Mine would be either my portrait i drew of prince age 15 or the lovesexy stage crew t-shirt i was given as a gift by a friend who worked on the tour. Digressing, but did u know that when prince approached the stage for lovesexy rehearsals, a whistle was blown as a sign to tour crew to turn their backs to the main man. eye contacts was forbiden. true story.

Either my white cloud guitar or Rayban sunglasses worn by Prince during parade tour (Paisley park logo on the side).
Thanks Babs!

Afraid I can't keep it down to one item, but my faves are:

Mountains 10" white vinyl
Pasiley Park shaped picture disc
Japanese 7" single imports (Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, SOTT, etc etc)
Purple Rain picture disc LP
Let's Work 12" remix
Purple Rain Purple Vinyl LP and single
Parade picture disc LP
All my 12" picture disc singles
All albums up to Diamonds and Pearls on vinyl
Unopened copy of the symbol album special edition CD box-set
My T-Shirt collection from SOTT up to present day
Tour programmes from Purple Rain, Parade and Lovesexy (got others but those are my faves)

Phew! The only thing I want now for my collection is "Tales from the Rain", and I've seen it for sale on a second-hand record site...for £400!

I've never heard of a purple testpressing 12' for "I Wish U Heaven". What is the catalog #?? There is an Ultimate Rare 12' on blue vinyl for "I Wish U Heaven". This is next to impossible to find!! I've only seen it once. It was sold on eBay.

You have that Cloud for real???

Anyway, my favorite item is the touring roadcase that was used to carry one of his Cloud guitars on tour. Purchased from Startifacts. I also have a copy of the offical letter from Paisley Park to Startifacts for authenticity. The original letter is with the owner of the Cloud. It states in the letter that it was a Yellow Cloud used on tour and played by Prince for many years. Possibly the Cream / Gett Off one. The case is cool, 'cause it still has the impression of the strings in the purple velvet.

How could I forget, I bought the BMW from the sexy MF video

Love This Topic!!!

my faves are:

Autographed Rolling Stone, Autographed U Got The Look 12'
Purple Rain Coats
Glam Slam Matches
Paisley Park Pic Disc
Emancipation Mobile

and of course, all my bootleg stuff

Definitely...

The Godfather hat Prince handed me from right off his head at the Hamilton,Ontario ONA show...sweat and all.

Peace!

Oooh-u missed Ebay about a month ago, one was on there and went for £180-bit of a bargain!!

If my house was on fire, I'd have my Endorphinmachine Japanese Promo cd in one hand,my Love Sign Pic Disc in the other,and my Rave Un2 press pack shoved up my ass.
