In terms of

1. I have every Prince CD

2. I have every Prince CD and everything he's put on out the Internet

3. I have every Prince CD and every vinyl

4. I have every Prince CD and every Prince band release; so that would include the NPG releases

5. I have every Prince CD that he wrote and produced; for example, Ingrid Chavez

6. I have every CD where he has a song; for example, Bright Lights, Big City, Happy Feet, etc.

7. I have every CD his "company" has produced; so all the releases on his own label

8. I have every Prince and associated artist

9. I have every CD he's guested on: No Doubt, etc.

10. You tell me

Everyone has their own limitations.

Where's yours?

All but 3,6,7,9

Yes, all that, but i don't go for albums he has guested on, unless his contribution is significant, i'm not interested if he only played 30 seconds of guitar on one track.

Same with vinyl, i only really go for limited editions, unless i can find something old, but even then it has to be mint and unplayed, preferably sealed.

I have every official cd album, and i would say about 80-90% of all the cd singles. I have all the (audio) stuff (downloads and cd's) from the various websites he has had. Then there is all the books, magazines, dvd's, vhs, concert memorabilia etc, etc.

I have spent a fortune on Prince product, and will likely spend a lot more in the future.

With the internet providing high quality bootleg downloads with all the art work provided, i no longer have to spend large sums on live or outtake material, which is handy.

10: I've 15 Prince albums. I'm not a completist though I'd like The Crystal Ball set. I'd be prepared to pay for the Mazarati, Jill Jones and Mayte records, but nothing extortionate.

when eye am broke!

I stop when it comes to boots. I don't buy boots.

I'm no afficionado, so I'm only after Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain, Parade, Sign, Lovesexy, , TGE, Emancipation, and 20Ten.

My Prince buying stops with New Power Soul, evidently. Just couldn't bring myself to exchange money for that POS. Although now that you mention it, I can't seem to be arsed to find internet-only releases like Exodus and Chocolate Invasion either, though they might be good, for all I know (I love Xpectation, but that's different 'cause it was delivered to my inbox via the npgmusicclub).

Beyond music and maybe some t-shirts, there's not much else I really feel the need to own.

No need to.

I have much more than 1000 boot titles and I only paid for 3 or 4 of them.

Trading & sharing, anyone?

It stopped at stupidly priced/rare things. I only buy albums and general release phyiscal singles now. As long as I have the new album and any non-album tracks I'm good, I don't need that rare Brazillian promo of Rave where his catsuit is a slightly darker shade of blue because of a printing error.

Related artists are another issue entirely - that's where my interest is these days.

I don't need songs for Kenny Rogers or cover versions from Joe Cocker

You can buy Exodus on cd.

Im all about the music he is a part of. Got all official releases.....80's stuff I have on vinyl/cassette/cd, plus cassettes of associated artists..(jill/mazarati etc) Again, any thing he wrote or produced or recorded himself I want it. I will by tshirts too, but dont have alot of posters/buttons/hats..etc. oh and i bought bootlegs back in the 80's and thru the 90's, but no much anymore...jus download stuff if i dont have it. But all official releases, got em.

The thousand dollar iPod is where i end. Unless i become rich. Also I will download a song he has written for someone or produced, but not buy the whole album for one song.
