A Prince The Black Album cassette tape

Dated "Chrome 18/11/87," featuring Tape Gallery label typed "The Black Album Paisley Park," the cassette plastic case with sleeve featuring a typed (or possibly printed) song list including "When 2R in Love." This is a particularly puzzling item, apparently the Black Album in cassette form, but without the plain black packaging of the album and CD, and possibly part of a small batch production. Nonetheless, the songlist here includes "When 2R in Love," clearly dating this cassette to 1987, before the song was release on Lovesexy and long before the Black Album made its way to stores.
