Interesting.. This signed Lovesexy came up.for discussion in another forum with some people thinking it has been faked. If this is from the store signing at Tower Records (London) in July 1988, then there are some odd things going on.

Caveat Emptor I suppose. 

There is no instore signing from 1988 that matches the pencolors on this.
A few of the bandmembers look pretty bad as well.
Levi, Cat, Atlanta Bliss, Boni and Eric.
The only one in the band that looks close are Dr Fink and Miko.
The Prince signature is unfortunatly pretty bad as well.
So in my opinion Roger is wrong on this one.
It's a 100% fake!


Here is my signed Lovesexy. Signed at NK in Stockholm on August 12, 1988!


This is my signed Parade album from the same signing at NK in Stockholm on August 12, 1988. This signature is bigger and covers both sides of the gatefold cover.

Hello all together!

Just came up this Prince autograph. What do you think about it? 

A 1984-85 style autograph on a 1988 single....
Well this fake was easy 2 spot....

Thanks Elfar! This is really helpful, cause I´m not an expert concerning Prince´signatures

I agree with Elfar. I don't think it's real either.

Good Morning Steve,

I almost had a Heart Attack when I read this Post and saw the Picture of the Around the World in a Day Album. I've almost listed my "I would die 4 U" 45 on ebay as a "not authentic but nice looking forgery for a minimum bid of $19.99) because I've read in a post on Twitter that Roger Epperson told someone that he never saw an autograph with the "P" ending like that and that it must be a forgery when it looks like that. I'm not an Expert by all means but I see many similarities between the signature on my 45 and the Around the World Album here. 

What do you think? Is this round part under the Signature an indicator for a Forgery?

That's tricky. The "Love God" part looks right to me. Prince would sometimes under score Prince ' see below from 1982.  I'm not 100% but I think this has a good chance.
