PRINCE - The Dr. Fink Collection: Collection of 39 Prince Archival Cassette Tapes c. 1979 - 1990 - A collection of 39 cassette tapes representing an archive of Academy and Grammy Award®-winning singer-songwriter Prince's rehearsals, live shows, and studio performances between 1979 and 1990. The tapes offer rare insight into the notoriously private musician's process across various eras and projects, with material stretching from his time practising and performing with his band in the late 1970s to the periods just before and after he won his Oscar for the now-classic 1984 film Purple Rain. They also feature the iconic artist instructing his band on how to play their parts during rehearsals, as well as discussing how some of his music should be performed.This lot comes from the personal collection of Grammy Award®-winning keyboardist and producer Matt Fink (known by his stage name Dr. Fink), a member of Prince's band from 1978 to 1991 who notably played as part of The Revolution as well as co-starring in Purple Rain. Each tape comes inside a hand-labelled plastic case, with such labels as "Controversy Rehearsal 1981," "Possessed Show for 1st Live 84," "Get On Up Mountain Long Version 1986," and "Prince Lovesexy Rehearsal 1988," among others. Some of the material, including one tape featuring an unreleased album Prince created as a side project called "The Rebels," is believed never to have been officially released. The Rebels tape is one of very few original cassettes ever made.MP3 and WAV files are also included for every recording in the collection. As the recordings were collected using various technologies, including boom boxes, high-end studio equipment, and mixing boards, the audio quality of the collection differs from tape to tape. Additionally, cases exhibit a variety of cracks, fractures, and peeling labels.
