"Pink Cashmere" is a song by Prince, which he wrote for his then girlfriend, Anna Garcia a.k.a Anna Fantastic, for her 18th birthday, on which he presented her with a coat, rumored to be made of pink cashmere with a black mink collar and cuff, the name Anna Fantastic embroidered on the sleeve, and "89" on the back. The coat was valued at $15,000, being custom made by his personal staff designer. In the U.S., the B-side was the 1978 track, "Soft and Wet," while Germany backed the song with the William Orbit remix of "The Future," originally issued as a single in 1990. In addition, Germany issued a 12" single and CD single for "Pink Cashmere." Both had "Glam Slam" (1988) as a B-side, and both contained two mixes of "Pink Cashmere" -- a vocal version and a guitar version. The 12" had "The Future" remix, but the CD replaced it with "Paisley Park" (1985).
