For anybody who doesn't know these pictures were taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, about a 5 minute drive from Paisley Park, check it out sometime.

I mean. (The estate is about to release a special edition of the album that Herb Ritts shot this promo photo for!)

!! I've tried a couple times to get a print of it but can't locate the right person to contact. last I checked, I think the rock and roll Hall of Fame had the rights? it's been a journey

As far as I know, the Ritts estate still owns the rights, and has never put out a print. There are always bootleg prints of it but that seems shady. If you like the other autumnal photos of Prince (with the glasses and cozy black sweater), those are by Steven Parke and I can put you in touch.

This is the handwritten note Prince sent to Ritts after the shoot.

In this photo, Prince is wearing cufflinks that say “Insatiable”, a reference to a song that’s featured on his 1991 album Diamonds & Pearls. The Prince Estate has just released an early demo version of the song in advance of a special edition re-release. spotify.link/McD54nsiSDb
