Sex symbol or slave?: Mar.1995

Prince tells all

Time Out London — Issue No. 1282 15–22 March 1995   Price: £1.50

a visual and editorial reflection of Prince’s 1995 identity crisis — caught between erotic iconography and industry protest. The anchor tattoo above the symbol adds a layer of metaphor: grounded, burdened, or perhaps resisting drift.

This issue leads into a rare, candid interview and feature spread exploring Prince’s name change, his “SLAVE” protest, and his refusal to release The Gold Experience under Warner Bros.
