Prince Single Album-Raspberry Beret-Fully Hand Signed-Double Authenticated

"Raspberry Beret" is a song written by American musician Prince and the lead single from Prince & the Revolution's 1985 album Around the World in a Day. The sound of the song expanded upon previous Prince arrangements, incorporating stringed instruments, Middle Eastern finger cymbals, and a harmonica in the extended version. The song was also more in the pop vein than before, though the 12-inch single and video of the song feature a funky intro.

The song tells of a teenage romance and first sexual experience with a girl who wears a raspberry-colored beret. The extended version was included on the compilation album Ultimate in 2006.

While the song hit number one in Cash Box and reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US (behind "A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran), it only reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart. The Vinyl single is the song "HELLO". The album itself is signed by Prince in September 2007 in London. The Album is dual authenticated by Richard Watson and Andrew David Holland. Richard Watson at the time would hire professional autograph hunters to seek out specific individuals.

Richard Watson owned a long standing memorabilia and record shop in London and many bands at the time would visit his store to promote their albums. The signature was authenticated by Andrew David Holland.
