I'm about to bid on this, but would like to know more about it. Is it official and rare? Or is it just fan made? It has a lot of pics I like and can't wait to win it!!! So excited!

Could everyone tell me everything they know about this publication? It said it was published in '84. I just bid on it, I hope I didn't make a mistake. Does anyone else have this mag?

Oh shit, I hope it is a genuine magazing and not fan made... I hope it is official.

This is the front

Here is the back

I bought two of em in the '80s. One to cut up for pics, one to put away. Haven't seen it in ages. From what I remember it's very short and sweet. Not a lot in there of any substance but a few good pics. It's not from the P camp but it's not a fan made thing either.

Sorry I can't tell ya more. It's back in the loft packed away so I can't scrutinise it for ya.

its been years since i looked at mine, but it's pretty much just photos in it. it's not fan made, but i don't think it's official either. i wouldn't pay a lot of money for it, £10 or so, unless you know what you are buying and really want it. it's a bit like a tour program type thing

Cool, the bid right now is just $.99 so I'll get it. So...everyone who has this did you enjoy it? Does it have a lot of 1999 era pics? I saw one in the description along with a controversy era pic and a few more. It also said that was just some of of what we'd get to see.

It's not in the loft, I've just dug it out...

Last written page is #48.

Loads of full page pics of the early days, Prince, Dirty Mind, '99 P Rain. A lot are black & white.

Interview with Cynthia Horner from April '81.

Quick spin through The Time and Apollonia, interview with Apples.

Covers Purple Rain, more pics, lots of stills from the film.

That's it. Original UK price was £1.95 I wouldn't say it was worth much more now?

So most of the pictures are black and white? or color?

Mix of the two.

Flicking through it I found some quotes from the little fella.

"I think people sometimes - at least it appears that way - get used to keeping up their Mercedes payments and so they have to go out and make records geared to the bank. It's a whole different thing when you don't have anything to gain."

"There is one thing that might be a drawback in my career... I can't read a note of music. It hasn't gotten in the way yet. Maybe it will later but I doubt it."

"Success to me, means that people believe in what you're doing and they give back the love which I give to them through my music."

Had to laugh at the first one.

lol, how many 1999 era pics are there (how many in color, then how many in black 'n' white?)? I love Prince's sense of humor haha.

^ You'll have to wait and see. I've put it away now.

Oh, ok lol. I wish the seller would hurry up and come back from wherever he/she is. He won't beable to ship it til he gets back, which is april 17.

So, are the pics worth it? I mean are they all cool, to you?

Not sure cool's the word I'd be using. I can do without the nipslip shots.

Couple of better ones:

Now it's going up in the loft where it belongs. It's making me feel my age.

Given that "For You" came out exactly 2 months before Prince turned 20, and that it most definitely did not sell a million records in those 2 months, the first sentence here is categorically completely false.
