Description

An impromptu home video at Prince's Chanhassen home

Prince’s personally taken Fuji VHS home movie marked on the label in black felt tip, “Pope.” The content of the video includes a Sunday pool party at Prince’s house in 1993, where Prince plays the part of cameraman and director and records future wife Mayte Garcia as she lip-syncs the song ‘Pope.’ Garcia eventually takes the camera and proceeds to tape Prince as he dances and walks around the property. The footage then cuts to a studio rehearsal in Paisley Park. In fine condition. According to the consignor, Sundays were known as ‘play days’ by Prince, who would essentially spend the day working on ‘fun’ projects; Prince never truly stopped working. This video offers unique, very exclusive insight into a Sunday afternoon with Prince and Garcia at their home in Chanhassen, Minnesota, as well as an inside peak at a Paisley Park band rehearsal.

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Prince's Personal Sound Engineer, Shane T. Keller.
