Photo of Prince in Concert

Another piece from my Prince collection. This was part of a set of photos that I purchased at the Dixie Classic Fair, probably in the early 1990s.

Newspaper Article about Wendy & Lisa

I can't figure out why I would have kept the second half of an interview from a local newspaper. This article looks at the self-titled release Wendy and Lisa from 1987.

This was a fantastic album to follow up the Girls work with Prince on Parade. It is a good bridge between their influence on Prince and the development of their own work.

Prince Sign of the Times Album Sticker

A much, faded sticker that I removed from the two-record Sign "O" The Times  release from 1987. I cut it off of the plastic wrap and it was taped to a mirror in my room for over 5 years. When I scanned the heart-shaped sticker, I colored the background black to make the image stand out.

I reviewed the Sign "O" the Times DVD here.

Prince Postcard: Standing in Front of a Window

Another postcard from the 1984 Purple Rain era. This was also a poster that was produced in color.

Prince Postcard: Purple Rain Movie Poster Card

I imagine that the reproduction from this postcard adorned millions of bedrooms in 1984. This image was the included poster with the Purple Rain album. It is also one of the iconic images from the When Doves Cry video. I always wondered why "Doctor" Matt Fink was transparent. Bobby Z. is leaning against the stairs while Matt seems to be floating there. Another Prince-related mystery, eh?

Prince Postcard: Sign Of The Times Tour 1987

The 1987 release, Sign "O" the Times, was going to be a three-record release called the Crystal Ball. Warner Bros. stepped in and cut the album to two records of near perfection. At this point, Prince began struggling with the decline in his popularity after Purple Rain. When he toured in Europe to support the album, he recorded a concert film to promote the album.

I reviewed the concert film, here.

The front of the 1987 Sign of the Times tour postcard.

I love the graphics and images from the Sign of the Times tour. Prince went with a fairly, simplistic logo design that hearkened to a 1960s revitalization. Color me peach and black. Color me taken aback.

Notice the MADHOUSE logo? It is interesting to think of Prince performing two shows every night.

Purple Rain Postcard: Prince and the Revolution

The Purple Rain postcard from 1984.

An iconic image from the 1984 film and album, Purple Rain. It is more evocative of the When Doves Cry video with the flowers strewn about a white background. The purple font with the yellow shadow takes me back almost 30 years.
