Title: Prince, the disco glamor boy...

THE STORY

The listing describes Prince as “the disco glamor boy” and highlights his self-produced Dirty Mind album. It notes his previous albums Prince and For You, details the touring band (Andre Cymone on bass, Des Dickerson on guitar, Bobby Z on drums, Lisa Coleman and Dr. Fink on keyboards, and Prince on guitar), and provides show time (7:30 p.m.) and venue information.

CONTEXT AND NOTES This advance notice ran one week before the December 14 show during the Dirty Mind Tour. It shows how Prince was still frequently labeled a “disco” artist in local press even as his music was evolving. The bill with Teena Marie was a strong R&B pairing common on this leg of the tour.
