Description

Personally approved 12? test pressing—sent "2 the Club"

Unique test pressing of 'Gett Off' personally approved by Prince, bearing a sticky note on the cardboard sleeve labeled in Prince's hand with instructions to bring it to his Glam Slam nightclub, "2 the Club." The disc has a white Specialty Records Corporation label reading: "Date: 7-25-91, Acc't: W.B., Title: Gett Off 12?, Artist: "Prince, Mtx. No. A-SR2-DMM-1, Rec. No. 0-40138." The sleeve is annotated in black felt tip, "Gett Off 12? Maxi." In fine condition, with some spots of scuffing and corner creases to sleeve. From the collection of Prince’s assistant Therese Stoulil. In 1989, Prince opened a nightclub in Minneapolis called 'Glam Slam'-named after one of his singles-which became one of the city's hot spots. He later remixed the single under the title 'Glam Slam '91,' which then became the basis for 'Gett Off.' An interesting, unique item connecting Prince's music with his other business ventures. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Therese Stoulil.
