Banksy - Original Paris Hilton & Danger Mouse 2008 / BANKSY001 Matrix on the CD. Printed cd.Barcode and Other IdentifiersMatrix / Runout: BANKSY00182910 CD 53543MP BANKSY001 matrix on CD with IFPI L622 in small lettering above the CD 53543MP.Absolutely fantastic piece of Banksy history with matrix BANKSY001 as shown.Banksy, with his taste for high-concept pranks, decided to target Paris Hilton as a symbol of unearned wealth and celebrity culture, her debut CD was a perfect opportunity.In 2006 Banksy secretly visited 42 Virgin Megastores and HMV shops around the United Kingdom switching the original Paris Hilton CDs with his own version featuring a topless Paris Hilton on the front cover and parody remixed songs by his enlisted friend DJ Danger Mouse, crucially though, he left the bar code intact so they could still be purchased.When the CDs were discovered most were subsequently removed and destroyed, however, some copies had already been purchased and others were kept by store staff members who spotted the prank, it is unknown how many copies of the spoof Paris album survived the cull.The CD has the all-important "BANKSY001 authentication code around the centre hole as pictured, this would of been added during the manufacturing process and only found on this genuine historical Banksy public stunt.Banksy created new artwork for this CD with slogans placed over the pictures on the inside booklet, in one image the celebrity is seen stepping out from a vehicle next to a homeless man with the text "90% of success is just showing up". Another reveals Hilton on a sofa with the caption "Life wasn't meant to be fair". The copy's inner tray artwork also has Hilton's head swapped out for that of Tinkerbell, her pet chihuahua.DJ Danger Mouse remixed the songs with new titles such as "Why Am I Famous?", "What Have I Done" and "What Am I For".No one knows exactly how many of the CDs still exist or how many were brought back and it might be that there are some people who agree with his views on Paris Hilton.Great investment, sent tracked and fully insured
