Description

Terrific assortment of Glam Slam Nightclub ephemera, including: one unused black-and-gold Glam Slam book of matches, one unused ticket to opening night (with Rosie Gaines performing on October 16, 1990), a two-sided purple Glam Slam Summer Drink menu (featuring alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks named after Prince’s songs), one used ticket (with After 7 performing on November 15, 1990), one used postcard from 1992, two unused $1 off coupons for Prince’s Diamonds and Pearls album (expired October 1, 1990), three different monthly calendars showing upcoming concerts at Glam Slam, and one amateur-quality daytime photograph showing the outside of the nightclub. In overall fine condition.

In 1990, Prince opened a nightclub in his hometown Minneapolis called “Glam Slam,” named after one of his songs (the second single off the 1988 'Lovesexy' album). Frequented by celebrities, supermodels, and Prince insiders, Glam Slam became one of the city’s hot spots, providing him with a venue to host parties and promote musical artists he appreciated and admired. During the early years of the club, artists such as Miles Davis, Chaka Khan, George Clinton, and Tupac Shakur performed there. Prince also performed here himself 19 times in less than four years, as well as filming music videos and sharing unreleased music with the DJ to play for those in attendance.
