Description

Operated by Prince before his extravagant Lotusflow3r album release party

Prince’s personally-owned and -used Flip MinoHD camcorder specially made by Flip Video in a limited issue of 26 for the album release party for Prince’s 2009 triple album Lotusflow3r. The front of the camera features a colorful design template that matches the artwork found on the cover of Lotusflow3r, with the upper section marked with the album’s website. Includes Prince's personal, still-sealed CD copy of Lotusflow3r, which contains Prince’s 33rd and 34th studio albums, Lotusflow3r and MPLSound, as well as Elixer, the debut studio album by Bria Valente. In overall fine condition.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Raul Sandoval, who served as Prince’s personal assistant from 2002-2010, who states: "In anticipation of the Lotusflow3r album release party in 2009, twenty-six of these cameras were made. The idea was to give one of these cameras to each celebrity in attendance so that they would record the event from their point of view. After using the camera and at the last minute, Prince decided not to go ahead with the plan and asked for the cameras to be destroyed. Prince gifted me this camera in 2009.”
