nice, didn't know the fourth cloud was painted black for some Batman compettion in '89. I always thought it was for a competition in 84 and it was white.
I think the article wrong tho about two original clouds that have been found now because the Yellow one in the Smithsonian is one, the broken blue angle that was auctioned of a couple of years ago had white paint under a layer peach and black I think, the black Batman cloud for the cpompetition and finally the peach one in Holland that was gifted to someone in 91. So all four have been found now I think.

In this 1993 MTV Report on the Act 2 tour, there is footage of Levi gifting an all black cloud to a fan who won a contest. It looked to be the same guitar Prince has on the front of the Act 1 tour book with his yellow outfit on.

Yeah, I know that one, but I don't think that was the black one meant in the article.
The girl who won it in 93 said she was asked to come backstage and chose between the black cloud, a yellow cloud or a blue cloud. She choose the black one.
