ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS IS RARE.

HERE IS SOME RESEARCH I FOUND ON THIS RELEASE

The Black Album is a Prince record that was originally planned for release on December 7, 1987, as the follow-up to Sign o' the Times. Referred to as The Funk Bible by preceding press releases, and in a hidden message within the album itself, the work seemed to be a reaction to criticism that Prince had become too pop-oriented.

The 1987 promo-only release had no printed title, artist name, production credits or photography printed; a simple black sleeve accompanied the disc. On promotional copies, only a song listing and catalog number—25677—were printed on the disc itself. The commercial version was to only have the catalog number printed in the color peach on the spine. The original compact disc pressing was made by Sony DADC rather than WEA Manufacturing. The album was withdrawn weeks before its release date, and was replaced with the album Lovesexy, a brighter pop-oriented album with elements of religious affirmation.
