In 1977, a young photographer met a shy 19-year-old musical genius in downtown Minneapolis. They were just two guys with a camera.

That was the year Robert Whitman met PRINCE.

Photographer Robert Whitman releases the Pre Fame 1977 Genesis Collection to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the first photoshoot with the then unknown musician Prince Rogers Nelson. The iconic Music Wall portrait of Prince, taken in front of the “Gaspard de la Nuit” mural at Schmitt’s Music Store in downtown Minneapolis, has been reimagined in a limited collection of 1977 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) featuring over 90 hand-painted traits by fashion illustrator Tara Abbasi in collaboration with Whitman, including the rarest combination of the 3 traits -- the completely unaltered original portrait of Prince.

The Pre Fame 1977 Genesis Collection doubles as an exclusive membership token to the Pre Fame ecosystem, granting holders access to limited edition physical and digital fine art, entry to premiere events, and eligibility for upcoming collaborations and giveaways. A snapshot will be taken shortly after the collection is sold out; holders at that time will receive a high-quality print of their NFTs signed by Whitman and Abbasi.

All NFT wallets supported. Credit card minting available during public sale for those that don’t have an Ethereum wallet setup. Please join the project Discord to learn how to create and use a MetaMask wallet.

Have questions?

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. Did we miss something? DM us on Twitter to ask anything else.

Yes. Over 70 million list registrations have happened on PREMINT. When you sign in with PREMINT, you only are validating ownership of the wallet address. PREMINT does not get any permissions to perform transactions and does not have any way of withdrawing anything from your wallet.
PREMINT has been used by some of the top artists and collections in the NFT ecosystem, including XCOPY, Coldie, DeekayMotion, Cool Cats, Known Origin, Async Art, Shaq, and over 40,000 more.
Signing is the only way we can truly know that you are the owner of the wallet you are connecting. Signing is a safe, gas-less transaction that does not in any way give PREMINT permission to perform any transactions with your wallet.
PREMINT saves your wallet and social info as a part of the registration step, so you can disconnect everything afterwards and your entry is still valid.
As far as PREMINT is concerned, yes, but the project owner might check that you still own the token before finalizing the list.
If you fully registered, the only way your wallet wouldn’t be on the list of registered wallets is if the project removed it. PREMINT never deletes wallets from the list for any reason.
If you don’t know what wallet your Discord or Twitter are connected to, just go to https://premint.xyz/disconnect and you can force-disconnect them.
While creators are welcome to name their PREMINT projects whatever they like, we choose to use the term "allow list" or "access list" vs "whitelist." "Whitelist" could be considered exclusionary language, and the spirit of web3 is about inclusion.
