Under the Product Details section, the label states "Import".

Import - ok....?

I live in Europe, this is made in the UK or Germany...

It may be a "Import" for the US citizens, only... Am I right? Or wrong?

The vinyls and lotsa other P memorabilia are so expensive because there are opportunists only out to gouge fans/collectors out of their money since 4/21.

It's ridiculously sad.

You can still find decent quality on ebay - and you have the original not some reissue. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262729648844 - I did it a few years ago when I was 'upgrading' my cassettes.

That's exactly the reason. Only way to drop those prices is not to buy that stuff.

I don't mind paying a high price for a rare Prince item. But it's not okay that prices went sky high after he passed away. Not cool.
I've seen tour books for 500 euros, for which I paid 20 at the concerts. Motherfuckers is the only way to describe these....motherfuckers.
And no, they're not sexy.

^ thanks of4s, cool.... cool

I am still not updated on the latest news...

Were the reissue vinyls cancelled, from Lovesexy and on...?

Has the WB company spoken somewhere about this?

I don't know, man... I was at my local record store today and found a confusing difference in prices... They had The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers for well over € 30 (and it didn't even have a real zipper on the cover), Neil Young's Harvest only slightly below € 30... These are single LPs, but there were double LPs that were cheaper... And they sold Buddy Holly LPs for around € 15... What's the reason for this? Record label? 180 or 120 grams vinyl? Coloured or black? Limited edition? I have no idea... I love the vinyl revival, but it's also created a lot of confusion wrt pressings, quality, prices and the likes...

All new pressings seem to cost an arm & leg, I expect to pay $20 to $30 for a new pressing of a single LP. I've seen those Neil Young titles, and the price is shocking. 200gram costs more than 180gram.

.

As a result I tend to seek out good quality used albums from the old pressings, if they can be found.

The vinyl price rorting needs to stop, all these albums at daft prices. I mentioned a week ago about the copy of Graffiti Bridge for sale at $79.95 NZ (About 400 Danish Kroner) and other albums all $40 to $70.

.

Yet I bought a lot of vinyl between 2012 and 2015 when Prince was very much alive and the average cost of an album was about $10 to $20 (50 to 100 Kroner) and a 12 inch single anywhere from $5 to about $13. Now you can triple or quadruple those prices. I wisely kept all the labels with the name of whatever the record was pasted down on a book.

.

I bought a mint 2 record set of GB in 2014 for $9.95 and it was a mint and obscure South African Pressing, the $80 album is a bog standard Australian WEA pressing.

.

Don't buy it, let the greed of some people consume itself.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name
