Description | ||||
| A softcover songbook compilation of sheet music for the 11 songs featured on Prince’s fifth full-length studio album, 1999. Unlike other songbooks associated with albums, this was released in 2007, many years after the original album release.
The front cover replicates the album cover artwork, originally hand-drawn by Prince, as a background, now with ‘Piano Vocal Guitar’ (in white, sentence case) above the larger book title ‘PRINCE 1999’ (pale yellow, upper case), both featuring top center. The distributor’s name and corporation logo are featured bottom center of the cover. The back cover uses the same purple color for a plain background. Song titles are presented (centered) with the same typeface, in bold, as that used on the original paper inner sleeves for the 2-disc LP. The lettering is in yellow, similar to its appearance on some CD back covers for the album. The bottom of the back cover includes barcodes for retail and catalog number (left corner) and ISBN numbers (right corner, with publisher and distributor details between. The book's spine displays ‘Prince 1999’ (top), ‘Piano Vocal Guitar’ (middle) and ‘Hal Leonard’ (bottoms) again with their corporation logo. Page 1 has the front cover background (without Prince’s hand-drawn titles) in dark grey and white. Similar title information is supplemented by ISBN-13 and ISBN-10 numbers, contact details for the distributors and the copyright notice. Page 3 displays the contents in two central columns. with page numbers placed to the left of corresponding song titles, in white against a dark grey background, and lettering again in the same typeface as the book's rear cover. Starting on page 4, each song is presented in the order of the original album track listing. The song title on each page uses the same sans serif font in upper case typeface and all lyrics use the same serif typeface, but neither typefaces from the original album.
For each song, chord diagrams for six-string guitar are published above the musical staff, which comprises a top stave for the vocal melody and the main lyric running beneath. Under these are the complementary treble and bass staves for piano, all in standard musical notation. | ||||
