Desirable grouping of Paisley Park promo materials, including: a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses from 1989 with the Paisley Park Studios logo in blue on the left stem; a black swivel-pen keychain with "Paisley Park Studios" and the facility's telephone number printed on the side in yellow; and a Paisley Park promotional brochure issued when the studio opened in 1987, consisting of a folder with a large fold-out color image of the exterior, containing six double-sided 8.5 x 11 cards describing the facilities and services at the complex. In overall fine condition.
Prince's former co-manager Jill Willis recalls: "The Paisley Park promo folder was sent out by Harry Grossman, the facility's first director, to anyone interested in more information about the facility or its technical aspects. We also sent these out to the media to help secure an article about Paisley Park or Prince. The sunglasses and keychain were among some of the more popular promo items he passed out to VIPs, etc."
