LINER NOTES -- SECRET MESSAGES

In 1992, Prince and the N.P.G. released their second and final album. If you look closely at the background of the lyric sheet, you will see the following cryptic messages scrawled in fancy script:

don't buy the black album!

may u live 2 see the dawn

live 4 love

prince's mother's name is mattie

2day is the 1st day of the rest of your life
