Prince and the Revolution





Take Me With U Prince

Prince's record sleeves are awful as often as they're good. Take Me With U is one of the weak ones, very 1984. On the other hand, I love the flower photos from the Purple Rain-era.

Note: Even though I was under 10 years old, I recognized this sleeve as cheesey and I was disappointed. Now I'm imagining Price giving orders to the designer-"I want a painting of me with a handkerchief in my breast pocket and put the male symbol over my chest with a dove flying out of it.
Onr thing I did like, and still do, is the lettering for "Take Me With U" with the smaller, sideways- leaning letters inside.

Note Two: If you get a chance, go to YouTube and look up "Kevin Smith talking about Prince". He tells a funny story about filming a documentary at Paisley Park.
