Madhouse 8, a favour of someone Hi, I just bought a copy of Madhouse 8 on ebay, but I think I might have been given a good copy. Could someone do me a huge favour, is there a photo of the actual disc on the web or could someone scan it to see.Much appreciated | |

If you go to Housequake.com click on the Prince collectables forum there is a sticky thread which lists pirate and fake Cds commonly found on ebay and has pictures showing the differences between the real and fake discs.

http://www.housequake.com...genumber=1 Know that US Madhouse CDs came in a longbox and were never sealed(shrink-wrapped), UK CDs were also not sealed and had no longbox. Many of the Madhouse CDs on Ebay are fakes, especially if they have a buy-it-now price of around $30. A real Madhouse CD should fetch a much higher price. If you didn't pay much for a counterfeit, consider that you have a wonderful piece of Prince music and chalk it up to a lesson learned. I paid a bout $30 for my Apollonia 6 CD knowing full-well it wasn't the real McCoy. I just wanted the disc without having to pay big $$$. that is interesting, i wonder what my original collection of all these would fetch, although they are cassettes  If it were not for insanity, I would be a sane man today
So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie? | |

Thanks all, it looks like I got a copy!!! I compared it with the pictures on the housequake link, the one I got doesn't even have any of those coded numbers on the edge of the actual CD. Also, the cover was badly copied. So, be careful out there if any of you are buying on ebay. I bought it as new for €25. Oh well, you live you learn. | |

It sounds very good though. Purple Fact #542: Prince can make a Weeble™ fall down. |

Prince could put those bastards out of business if he would re-release the Madhouse albums, as well as Jill Jones, The Family, Vanity 6, etc.  | |
