Questlove is one of those folks who perpetuates that narrative about P doing downhill. He doesn't really like Lovesexy that much. I can't help but think that his association with the Revolution has kind of geared him that way. Ironically, the first album of Prince's to have absolutely no involvement from the Revolution or the pre-revolution folks is the first he said he was not particularly impressed with. He said he would take abotu 40 songs of his after 88. That seems pretty low to me consideirng how many songs he put out and how many songs this man worships from the 80's that aren't even top notch. A person who would place Apollonia 6 songs above the entirety of 3121 (not sure if he did that but just stating a what-if) seemed trapped in nostalgia IMO and more of a collector than a fan of his overall talent. I have read 4 or 5 different reviews for lovesexy this week and all have been positive; not sure what he is seeing that doesn't measure up.

Questlove has posted the photo of what was being considered to be the alternative cover for the "Lovesexy" album. "So @jeffkatzphotography revealed that this photo was considered as an alt cover for #Lovesexy released 30 yrs ago today..." Here is the rest with the photo: https://www.instagram.com...naQ9fH_re/

This pic was my FB pic for at least a year & on bedroom wall (as a teen), it's my favorite pic of him

Prince's handwritten notes for the Lovesexy Tour programme.

Thanks for that, pretty cool. I always thought it was strange they spelt "Superfunkycalifragisexi" with an 'i' at the end in the programme. I think we can see here he first used a 'y' and then changed it for some reason.

"Anna Stesia" is pure genius!

"Anna Stesia"

Have U ever been so lonely
That U felt like U were the
Only one in this world?

Have U ever wanted 2 play
With someone so much U'd take
Any one boy or girl?

Anna Stesia come 2 me
Talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind
Tell me what U think of me
Praise me, craze me
Out this space and time

Between white and black, night and day
Black night seemed like the only way...
So I danced

Music late, nothing great (Music late, nothing great)
No way 2 differentiate (No way 2 differentiate)
I took a chance

Gregory looks just like a ghost
And then a beautiful girl the most
Wets her lips 2 say

"We could live 4 a little while
If U could just learn 2 smile
U and I could fly away, fly away."

Anna Stesia come 2 me
Talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind
Tell me what U think of me
Praise me, craze me
Out this space and time

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
I mean the right way, I mean the only way
Perhaps U could show me, baby (show me, baby)

Anna Stesia come 2 me
Talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
If I was just closer 2 somethin' (closer)
Closer 2 your higher self
I don't know
Closer 2 heaven (Maybe) closer 2 God (closer to God)

Save me Jesus, I've been a fool
How could I forget that U are the rule
U are my God, I am Your child
From now on, 4 U I shall be wild
I shall be quick I shall be strong
I'll tell Your story, no matter how long (no matter how... no matter)

We're just a play in Your master plan
Now, my Lord I understand

(I understand)

Love is God, God is love
Girls and boys love God above
[repeated over chorus]
Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above

Living in the Netherlands, Where can I buy the Wax Poetics Issue 67 without the 51 dollar shipping fee?

I guess it is not available in a digital form?

Amazon UK or DE, not sure what the shipping costs are but they would be less than from US.

Check out Paisley Park's posting related to Lovesexy:

"#PaisleyParkArchives: Exhibition Series

Around the time of his 1988 Lovesexy Tour, Prince started commissioning a series of jackets with different words and phrases written on the left arm. This polka dot suit features his hometown, Minneapolis, written in Japanese. A series of Polaroids taken around the Lovesexy era showcase Prince’s evolving style, which was moving away from the studded trench coats and blouses of Purple Rain toward a more clean-lined and striking look.
#Prince
#PaisleyPark

Here is another Paisley Park posting regarding the 30th anniversary of "Lovesexy":

"On this day in 1988, Prince released the provocative and thought-provoking album Lovesexy. As the 10th full-length studio offering in as many years for Prince, #Lovesexy was met with critical success and an extensive tour to promote the album would follow.
In the link in our bio, you will find Rolling Stone’s June 1988 review of the album. What was your initial impression of Lovesexy? Has your impression of the album changed in the past 30 years?"

Here it is:

It’s print to order - I believe you should be able to order from Amazon over there with no hike in shipping.

I've always loved this album - recall so vividly buying the album at the start of the summer of 88, the hype over the scandalous album cover 😂 I'd just finished school, life was good and I adored listening to this album that entire summer. To this day I love the title track and it always makes me feel happy. Bought the concert on 2 VHS tapes - watched that to death too. I'd been into Prince since 83-84 but I think my Prince obsession peaked that summer!! ❤️💜
