The motorcycle Prince rides in the film Purple Rain and on the cover of the album is a customized 1981 Hondamatic Honda CB400A. The bike was customized by adding fairing, special handlebars and a seat with hot pink velour inserts. Prince’s also added an early version of his symbol painted on a few parts on the bike.
On December 7, 1987 Prince was set to release “The Black Album”, his follow-up to “Sign O’ The Times” album. “The Black Album” had no printed title, artist name, production credits or photography printed; a simple black sleeve accompanied the disc.
On the cover of the first press of Jacksons 1984″Victory” album Michael Jackson’s little brother Randy Jackson had a white dove on his shoulder. For some reason in all the next pressings the dove on Randy’s shoulder disappeared.
In 2003, the Foo Fighters recorded a cover of the Prince song “Darling Nikki,” which they included as a B-side on the Australian version of their “Have It All” single.
