Need Help with Prince Autographed "NPG" 12" Single

Hello! I have a question. I recently purchased a VERY large collection of records that had been in storage since 2008 in Louisiana. Many many thousands of records. There were maybe 100-150 autographed items in this collection - roughly 50% were people you'd never heard of, maybe half of the rest were kind of known, and the other half were well-known, or relatively well-known. THIS record was among them. Now, I have no idea who has signed this. The signature that could be Prince's is the very bottom one on the front, which I have taken a close-up picture of. MOST of the Prince autographed stuff I have found online DOES NOT resemble this signature BUT a few of them "sort of" do. Most of this writing I cannot make out but it does appear that different people have written on the front as it appears to be three distinct styles. The back I have no clue. This record was released around the time of the Nude Tour but I have no idea when it was signed. Anyone have any insights? I appreciate any comments. Thanks!

Not real, IMO.

Prince is quite rare at any time. I think I've only seen one 1990 autograph and that was signed "Love God' - Prince. '90.

Does not look like his handwriting at all.

I have a lot of knowledge in Prince signatures and i run the group "Prince signatures group"
on FB. There U can look at a lot of real signatures!
And unfortunatly this looks nothing like a Prince signature.
So my opinion ist that it is 100% fake!
