I found these cool photos of Paisley Park online. This is how Paisley Park looked when I first started going to parties there.

A couple from the NPG store.

Great pics...The decor is very early 90s, isn't it? Perfect.

All the photos on the wall were artists who had recorded there, which were later replaced by album awards.

Notice the big portrait of Carmen Electra on the wall, in the center of this pic.

Which look do you prefer?

The old, more sterile and "clean" look, or the current look that started in 1996?

I think both have their pros and cons.I like both but I am a little more partial to the current look.

Thanks for posting!

These are great photos!

I think I'd go with the current look, it's more alive with all the colors. I love the old look too though, a lot of great memories.

Thanks for the pics. I like the current look myself. I especially like how the atrium is painted to look like your in the sky with clouds around you.

The Cloud guitar looks interesting. It is not the baby blue "Blue Angel" from the Lovesexy tour but it´s not the dark blue Cloud from Act II either.

Or is it just the lighting that makes it look a tad lighter than the Act II Cloud?

Fantastic!! Would love to see more from this era.

I think it's just the lighting. He would have been using the dark blue one around this time. I bought the blue Cloud that PP was selling and I'm amazed at how it looks in different lighting, light blue, dark blue, and sometimes it even looks purple.

I belive that these pictures are from June/July 1993. Mayte didn't have bangs until the Act II tour. And if you look at the picture of Mr. Hayes outside in a sleeveless top - it must of been summer in Chanhassen.

OMG! Thank you for posting these. I had always heard the walls were all white/cream color before Mayte now I can see it was all true! I think the place looks better with color.

These are great! I can't see them clearly, but it looks like Mayte has on some great shoes! I love her clothing from this era...

Very nice!

Thanks.

So Amazing. Thanks for sharing these!

Paisley Park Records is definitely my favourite era. Thanks
