RARE PRINCE SIGNED 12′ SINGLE FROM HIS MOVIE, ‘UNDER THE CHERRY MOON’
Unusual “Anotherloverholenyohead” single album signed on the front in Prince’s own hand in blue felt tip, “Love God.” In fine condition. The record is included. Originally obtained by in-person specialist Mike Wehrmann. For a period of time, Prince eschewed the signing of his already assumed name, Prince, in favor of the moniker, ‘Love God” as he has signed here. Signed Prince albums have become increasingly rare on the market since his untimely death. On April 21, 2016, Prince died of a fentanyl overdose at his Paisley Park recording studio and home in Chanhassen, Minnesota at the age of 57.
“Anotherloverholenyohead” is a 1986 song by Prince and The Revolution, from the album, Parade the soundtrack to the film, Under The Cherry Moon. The song is essentially a solo performance by Prince, with backing vocals and horn section on the extended version. The song is set in a minor key, and written around a piano chord sequence, although the arrangement emphasizes an upfront guitar synth and a drum machine. The lyrics are about a man trying to reclaim a lover who is intent on leaving him for another. The song’s title is a combination of the main idea of the song, and the line “U need another lover like u need a hole in yo head” from the chorus. The single received this 12″ extended release with intricate piano work, a horn overdub and some dance commands from Prince.
