Prince (May 7, 1987) – "The Fact And The Fiction" Cover Feature – Music Paper UK

A superb Prince cover feature and centre-spread from the May 7, 1987 edition of Weekend Voice, published during the landmark Sign "O" The Times era.

Headlined "Prince – The Fact And The Fiction", this extensive feature examines many of the stories, rumours and developments surrounding Prince and the rapidly expanding Paisley Park organisation during one of the most creative periods of his career.

Published shortly after the release of Sign "O" The Times, the article explores the transition following the dissolution of The Revolution, the formation of Prince's new touring band, and the growing influence of Paisley Park artists and side projects.

The feature looks at the roles of key associates including Sheila E., Eric Leeds, Boni Boyer, Jerome Benton, and Wendy & Lisa, while also examining projects connected to The Family, Madhouse, and other artists working within Prince's creative circle.

A recurring theme throughout the article is Prince's extraordinary productivity. The feature separates confirmed developments from industry speculation, covering recording projects, future plans, film ambitions, touring activities and the continuing evolution of the Paisley Park organisation.

Packed with photographs and contemporary reporting, this is an outstanding period piece documenting Prince at the height of the Sign "O" The Times era.
