That's what I said first of all, it was DoctorMambo who said I might be talking about the '95 radio show, I was just correcting him.

I've always been curious how much one of these would fetch on ebay, never seen one come up before.

the vinyl says made in UK

shausler said:

actually for mine, i replaced the disc with the one that had the 4 color diamonds and pearls image (the legitimate special edition

making mine a double non authentic item lol

shausler said:

In that case, the sleeve and the vinyl don't match. As that picture sleeve was
definitely only released in Holland. It was issued in a standard brown WEA
generic sleeve in the UK.

I think you'll find that the catalogue numbers don't match.
The Dutch cat.no. is WB 26126
The UK cat.no. is K 17537(T)

i have found a few gems recently that i will never ever part with:

#1 = the GETT OFF BIRTHDAY 12" that prince gave away at his bday in 1991. i got this for $2.95 !! i felt so guilty!!!!!

#2 = strange tales from the rain ! i couldnt believe it when i saw it. got it for $125

#3 = black album 1994 warner brothers release on vinyl.

#4 = sexy mf on 12" on gold vinyl.

i am ALWAYS looking, whehter in record stores, flea markets, thrift stores.. im a total JUNKIE!

interesting

my disc contains both numbers

I have a copy of John L's "Father's Song" CD, which Prince plays on (under the name "Gemini"). The CD, interestingly enough, does not contain the song "Father's Song".

NouveauDance said:

YES! Now THAT is old-school!

I actually heard "Hey Hannigan" one time. Pure brilliance!

I have a promo "Gett Off" 12" vinyl. It was released on his birthday with his artwork on the cover. I think this is pretty rare.

I don't think these have been mentioned:

Withdrawn MPLS/Ryde Dyvine CD-Single


Promo LPs


Promo Cassette


Promo Cassette


Promo Give-away - Is this the real J-Card?

Not quite...
the UK issue lists several numbers on the right hand side of the label.
The number I mentioned is printed large, with a few other numbers underneath, like this...

K 17537(T)
K 17537(T) A*
(FWBD 0168)
(K 26126)
1979
STEREO

You'll notice that the number which matches the Dutch release is listed
with a "K" in front of it, not a "WB". You'll also notice that the sleeve
only lists the "WB 26 126" number. I can assure you with 100%
certainty that the UK release was never issued in a picture sleeve, and
what you have is the Dutch sleeve, but with the UK vinyl inside.

Interesting thread.

Just a quick question on the general view of fans.
I have the original "The Undertaker" CD with the glue on the "playable" side and from the beginning I decided to not try to remove it, still having the chance to listen to it from another source and knowing that the process for remove it can damage the CD itself.

Does it make it less valuable of a "glue removed" CD or being the actual thing it doesn't matter at all?!?!?!?!?

Thanks.

I'd throw in for rarities his Hit n Run tour singles:

Daisy Chain/Gamillah
Supercute/Underneath the Cream

and the rarest, the Peace single which sold out right near the beginning.

I didn't know the Catwoman 3 inch was rare.

Maybe this is to obvious but:

They sold these at the first celebration on tape for $2. Boxes and boxes of them. It's great when you can catch them unloading things from storage.
