Two original reels of 1/4″ analog audio tape for Prince's song 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Mustang Mix),' an unreleased remix of his popular mid-90s single. The reels are labeled in red ink and housed in white cardboard boxes with matching labels denoting the track, version, tape speed, reference level, and calibration. The labels read: "Most Beautiful Girl.... Mustang Mix, Copy A, +3/185, 30 NDF, 1 KHZ @ 0 V.U, 7.5 IPS," and "Most Beautiful Girl.... Mustang Mix, Copy B, +3/185, 30 NDF, 1 KHZ @ 0 V.U, 7.5 IPS." In overall fine condition. Originally released as a stand-alone single in 1994, 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The World' was the first track to carry Prince's unpronounceable 'Love Symbol' as the artist credit. He created several remixed versions over the years, including the unreleased 'Mustang Mix,' which was planned as a single and intended for inclusion on his unreleased album The Dawn.
The consignor, one of Prince's former bodyguards, notes: "They were given to me by Prince when I was working with him in the mid 90s. These were recordings but he was working on during The Gold Experience album and working on different variations of two particular songs. I've never taken them out of the original packaging other than just opening up the cover to take a few pictures. These tracks were given to me by Prince when we were leaving the studio in LA and heading back to Minneapolis."
