Prince/The Revolution AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY + Rare Paisley Park Label Copy

$

50

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

• This copy is in the original Factory Sealed Shrink Wrap.
• Sealed copies have a sticker on the cellophane wrapping. The sticker features the "Balloon Boy" being carried away. The balloon reads: "Prince And The Revolution Around the World In a Day" (see photo).
  
• The Paisley Park label copy sheet is a real one-off Prince collectable.
  
• This sheet has the Prince & The Revolution logo on the letterhead followed by "Around The World In A Day" followed by Prince's sequencing for Side One and Side Two. This is what he sent to Warner Brothers Records to enable WB to create the official label copy sheet.
  
• Note the uniqueness of the different fonts and type styles for each song title.
  
• This literally fell out from between a batch of Prince records that had been stored in a box in the Seller's garage for the last 37 years.
  
• I cannot represent for sure that Prince himself typed this but it is possible and it did come from Paisley Park. It is an original, not a photo copy.
  
• The Seller acquired this from WB Records in 1983.
