I thought that was it.

Do you have the original cover?

Is this what you are refering to?

[img:$uid]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u257/djdaffy1227/100_5341.jpg[/img:$uid]

lol

that's the one.

My cover got damaged quite badly. I had been storing the vinyl in a different sleeve and ended up sitting loads of shit on top of the original sleeve.

Was bloody raging at myself

You waited a long time on this, I assume you had to order from Europe?

I luckily had mine delivered a week after release from an ebay purchase, but the cd I ordered was delayed from amazon. I never bothered with the regular vinyl.

I'm not collecting as seriously as I have in the past. A few weeks ago I was just looking at E-Bay and saw this and the regular 12" single. Since I collect 12" singles I fugured what the heck and bought the two for about $30 after shipping costs.

That sounds like a good deal, especially with the shipping. My pic disc was £15 inc shipping if I remember correct.

I just went back to E-bay to look, it was more like $45 after shipping costs. I underestimated a little

Oh well, at least you have them for your collection.

How and where did you find all these discs?

Or here http://www.purplemusic.ch/

I've been collecting for well over two decades. I got these from record shows, E-bay, private sellers, record stores. You name it.

I don't have the world's biggest collection but I do have some nice rare pieces. Not bad for a little fan in Erie Pennsylvania.

Noice pics.

Oh sorry, I thought the question was for Dance 4 Me.

I want One!

BTW, you have an awesome collection!

looks like your missing the Love Sign picture disc. I sold mine on Ebay a while back for $500.00 and wish I would have kept it. It sold within 36 hours of posting so I think I under priced it. Anyone know what its worth now?

AFAIK there was only a 12" and a CD Single - No Picture Disc.

You sure it was "Love Sign" ?

Here is my copy. I knew it was rare, I didn't know it was $500 rare!

the Lovesign records are fake and the $500 must be a "kind of typo"

I've heard before they were fakes but it'd still be cool to have one.

Very nice collection you've got there.

I brought the Dance4me last week and brought the Letitgo too. Was gonna buy the SOTT but they was charging £25 for it. And I'm after the Pop Life disc but the only one I've seen is the darker disc which is meant to be the faded one, looks like you've got the good one. Will still buy the SOTT eventually as I want to get all of the Prince picture discs only have about 10 so far.

NB. The Dance4me picture disc-peeps better double check it before buying because the shop tried to fob me off with one that was chipped

What does AFAIK mean.

I believe you are referring to the "Paisley Park" single not "Pop life". I got the good one from a seller on the Org:

This is the one I had first, commonly referred to as "tea stained":

EDIT: After looking at these pictures I see I need to switch the sleeves they are in

[Edited 1/31/12 11:57am]

it's the "tea stained" one I own

What was the story behind it...why did it get discoloured?

Remind me please.

It's true, mine was much nicer when I got it. I have no idea why it does that. It's only the front too. Most times you will see the B-side pictured on E-Bay, so know that when they do that, they are trying to hide the "tea stain":
