AI notes: In 1981, Prince launched The Time, a funk band he created, produced, and largely performed for behind the scenes, with Morris Day as frontman. Their self-titled debut album was released in July, showcasing the emerging “Minneapolis Sound.” That same year, Prince released his fourth album, Controversy, blending funk, new wave, and political themes. The Time toured as Prince’s opening act during the Controversy Tour, establishing a playful yet competitive dynamic that became legendary. This collaboration marked a pivotal year in Prince’s rise and the beginning of his influential role as a mentor and producer.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
