Im just starting one and its looking good!
Im glad that we have articles and magazine covers to look forward to

I used to in the 80's.
Now I just have boxes full of clippings and stuff that never get looked at or sorted.

Web pages are the modern equivalent. There's so much more that you can do. Of course scrapbooks can be converted to web pages if you have a scanner and a computer guru who is willing to help.

Hi
started mine n 1984, it's now 20 years old. & it's now divided n2 4 binders (3 - 3" binders & 1 - 4" binder) and indexed by year. The 1st 3" binder has the years 1978-1988; the 2nd 3" binder has the years 1989-1999; the 3rd 3" binder has the years 2000-Present; & the 4th 4" binder has nothing but Prince photos big & small. & have a seperate group of over-sized clippings that r 2 large 4 the binders.
Thinx 'm crazy? Ur probably right! But 'm gonna have fun every mutherfuckin' nite!

I have two Prince scrapbooks. One has photos of him, the other has newspaper clippings, and ticket stubs, and pictures from Prince trips, like the celebrations, etc...

I have had one for years...I mean, eerr, I think that you will enjoy this new project.

I've had one for a few years...newspaper clippings, magazine articles, pictures, etc.
It's got some nice stuff in it, but I kinda got lazy with it...the guy just wasn't in the
news during the late 90's/early 00's.
My latest thing is to print out his entire catalogue lyrics and keep those nice and
handy...it'll take some time, since it's so massive, and I'm not as FAMish as
others...

I gave up and sent mine to Paisley Park around 1990 or so. It was huge, full of associated artists too.

I do!! I have ALL the different Newspaper & Magazine Aricles or mentions in a huge notebook I started in 1996

Yes. Started around Purple Rain time.

why did you do that???

I have one that I stopped in 1991... but I have stuff from really early. I suppose it could be turned into an internet site, but what about all the copyright issues?

No, ....But I can draw him!! I'm artist, who else??

wild guess! Tick tick bang performance on Grafitti Bridge?

Actually, I think I knew it was the end of an era, especially when he didn't carry thru with the Lovesexy vibe.

Jasziah said:

yeah, but why did you send it to paisley park?

I realized how unhealthy and obsessive I'd become, and I got rid of almost every thing I had collected on Prince. Paisley Park was the only place I could think of who'd appreciate the scrapbook.

I do! I'm 19 and mine is mostly full of Apollonia and Vanity (I also have four pages devoted to Cledus T. Judd-had to put those clippings somewhere ). It's starting to look really good though. All the artists are put in there in alphabetical order. I just wish I had someone I could show it to who'd enjoy it. I live w/ my parents and my little sister and they don't like Prince.

I have many! Soon I will share.

well I wonder what THEY did with it....hope they didn't throw it away.
