Don't know ... don't wanna sell anyway ...
When I bought Let's Work / Gotta Stop in the late 80's the Prince-stuff was much more valuable than nowadays ... I'm glad I didn't have to pay that much.
I didn't realize that the peach vinyl was worth anything ... found it in an ordinary shop long after I completed my 80's collection and stopped collecting the new stuff (don't worry ... I don't own every single item ... I just wanted one release of every B-side / extended version)

I've never held the "Strange Tales From The Rain Promo" in my hands!

difficult to choose:

a guitar pick he threw to the audience (and I got it) after "Sign of the times" in Edinburgh 1993. He played with it, kissed it and threw it...fab!

a genuine signed card from 1988

the Gotta Stop 7" red ps


i was lucky enuff to catch one of Michael B's drumsticks at the very same concert.
It is sighned and has very obviously been used.
my other favourite item is my Paisley Park shaped picture disc.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

removed rib? Bone of my bone? I'm lost


It's a reference to the old urban myth that he had a rib removed so he could ill his own sperm.




at least I assume it was an urban myth?



Any medical students care to tell us if rib removal would allow such a thing? If so, how much does it cost?

The rarest thing I have is a japanese copy of the Black Album, which isn't really rare at all.

Oh, I also have this old Anabas picture book from 1984 my sister gave me that I think might be signed by him. She said she didn't remember if it was, but it says "To Angie, love Pr" and the rest had been rubbed off. So it's either a gift from someone else with a PR in his name, or an autograph.

The white Cloud guitar I was presented with by Damon Dickson on stage at Paisley Park during Celebration 2002.

Nothing has topped that one so far...

The "Holy Grail" of Prince items for me?

One time P. and I got roaring drunk on a bottle of ripple. In his drunken state P. signed over all his masters to me on a piece of paper (fortuntely there was a lawyer and notary public present as well as two witnesses). I put that paper somwhere I don't remember.

Man, what I wouldn't give for that ripple.

sigh

NME said:

a mate of mine has an official WB promo CD of Diamonds & Pearls with Schoolyard on it and other tracks missing. It was only intended for a WB conference to preview the upcomming years big releases.


I contact to the NME mate, and this is his answer:


There is no official promo CD of Diamonds and Pearls with Schoolyard.

As far as I'm aware Schoolyard never got any further than a rough cassette demo of current tracks that Prince made in December 1990 (If I remember right, the album hadn't even been named 'Diamonds And Pearls at that stage). Personally, I wouldn't even class this sequence as an early configuration of Diamonds And Pearls, as Prince had quite obviously thrown the tracks on a tape together with no real thought about the running order. The tracklisting for this cassette was as follows...

1. Daddy Pop
2. Walk Don't Walk
3. Schoolyard
4. Strollin'
5. Willing And Able
6. Diamonds And Pearls
7. Insatiable
8. Money Don't Matter 2night
9. Horny Pony
10. Live 4 Love
11. Something Funky (This House Comes)
12. Call The Law
13. The Flow

So if there is a CD of this sequence of tracks, it must be a bootleg / fan-made thing, as Schoolyard was almost immediately dropped from the running after this.

I still own the button in the lower right hand corner. Just the other day I was thinking about how much I wish that I still had the actual 8X10 glossy.A friend gave it to me during the yearly-mid 80s. I also wish that I still had my scrap book.

However, I'm proud to still own my 1999 t-shirt and a handful of buttons and a few magazines.

The disc in the top corner, thats the Pope unreleased 12". the smaller one in the corner next to it is a signed copy of the Gotta Stop Messin about, Dirty Mind sampler 12" promo.
