Cool packaging, but how does it sound compared to the regular CD version? | |

yeah these are super cool, 
only disappointment: the LOVESEXY cd is 1 track, not tracked... Prince 4Ever.  | |

i always think these look awesome, but i resist the urg to buy any of them by anyone, because of the cardboard sleeve. | |

i have one or two of the bowie ones. i'll buy 'em if i can find them used for cheap (which, surprisingly, i've been able to do on one or two occasions with the bowie CDs) just to have as collectibles. i wouldn't put serious money into collecting them, though. | |

I have that one to. I will take a picture of it later. 
As for the cardboard sleeve,it's really high quality cardboard. Very nice.  Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

They sound slightly better. You can really hear the difference with a good pair of headphones. __________________________________________________

Ok, I have Grado headphones that are supposedly one of the top brands in headphones and I've found them to be very "revealing" when it comes to this type of stuff so I'm guessing I would hear a difference with those CDs.... Are there any particular CDs in the series that stand out when it comes to improved sound quality or do they all just sound better in general? | |

Does anyone know if the Lovesexy version is a "tracked" version. I'd buy it-if I could listen to the individual songs. 
P 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

What I'd really like to know is how is the sound quality on SOTT?

It's great to see that his legacy is being maintained, even if it is overseas.
I forgot how much I loved that era! |

Thanks. This does look fantastic - can't wait 'til my CDs arrive. Hopefully the sound quality is just as good as with the "Ultimate Collection"... |

P The Lovesexy SHMs are one track. Any European Lovesexy CD will be tracked. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

They sound slightly better. You can really hear the difference with a good pair of headphones. How do they sound without headphones? I want to be able to play these in my car. If they still sound shitty, then forget about it. |
