Shit, if that's going to be the final cover. i don't want an album looking like that.

- It indeed looks cheap. I miss those days where a Prince album had a special care about cover art. SOTT´s cover is timeless


The covers for Sign, Parade and even Around the World....were briliant. Truly arty

Perosnally I'm more concerned about the music on this disc. That is what will really sell this record but more imporatantly strike achord of relevancy that I think Price really desires

Does anyone know if Cinnimon Girl is a cover of the Neil Young song? Probably not, but that would be pretty cool.

Ever since they stopped making vinyl albums, I never really cared that much about the artwork on a CD cover. Maybe just cause I'm from the old school or something but, to me, a CD cover just isn't big enough to make a difference to me one way or the other as to what the artwork is like. I mean hell, look at Pearl Jams cd covers.

If I was Prince, I don't think I would put a lot of effort (or money) into the cover art either. It just doesn't make the same impact anymore like it used to, in my opinion.

Just as long as the album cover alludes to the music being made by Prince!! The music? I have only heard 2 songs and part of a third so I will pass on judging for now, and I always have a different interpretation when finally getting the cd esp when I first hear them MP3.

if its a neil young cover its pretty loose guitar sounds kinda close might be same key but the only lyrics that are the same is "cinnimon girl" other than that pretty differnt

- Well, I agree that Cd covers are very small, but I think a guy like Prince should try to make covers with more good taste. David Bowie and Pearl Jam make some very good ones. It doesn´t need to be that expensive. TRC cover was real nice. There are lots of design companies that wouldn´t charge a lot. I just dont think he should come with a Microsoft Paint cover, like someone mentioned. I would prefer a white cover with the title of the album.

Hmm I know I just posted a response saying it looks like fake but check out www.towerrecords.com they show the same image...I dunno hopefully they change the text or something. Though in the end the music will be what matters the most razz


I just remember that this photo was used in Billboard magazine in an advert that Universal (!!!) placed congratulating Prince on his induction in the Rock'n Roll Hall of fame...

Wonder where they got that photo from, then...
