How many of u have actually seen the message in the alphabet st video??? I've known for years but r ther any who aint seen it???

I never noticed it back in '88 but i have noticed it's not in the Hits video collection.

I've noticed it but can't remember exactly where it is off the top of my head. It's quite early in the video. I'll try and find it and keep U posted.

Really! During what part of the video does it appear? I'll have to go home and check again.

There are several...are you referring to the Black Album message?

pause it in frame to frame but make sure you smoke a fattie first

I honestly don't know where it is, I always think of posting this thread but I keep 4getting. I see the video over & over but I neva notice,,which part does the message appear?

Its just as the 1st chorus of "yeah yeah yeahs" start,the screen splits in 2 and just as Prince walks into the middle of the picture and disappers,pause it bang on there,and the message "Dont buy the black album,I'm sorry" is going vertically down that split in the screen that Prince is going into,I've probably not described it the best but watch the video and you'll see it
