I wish the estate would re-print "The Gold Experience" "Crystal Ball" "Exodus" and both "Rave" albums...

Im sick of seeing these go for such high price's, as the sad thing is....there usually Pirated copys!!......and im sure there are lot's of prince newbie's who are unfortunatley getting duped without realising, luckly I own them all....which im thankfull for, because now theres a 60% chance itll be a pirate copy... I mean its not as if the albums need remastering or anything and I bet there's box load's in a warehouse in paisley already, they would not have to make a big song and dance about it....which I understand will cost them money..all they would have to do is make a few posts in a few forums like here and then they could just create a little NPG store on amazon....

I have them all...but I agree

If they started an online Webstore and re printed even 1000 copies at a time..

well...How easy for them and how wonderful for NEW fans

and Id even buy them again..

Im one of those fans who needed to fill in some music from his 90's-ish era when i was on purple hiatus. I found crystal ball by chance in a used record store but would love to also find all of those mentioned above specifically The Gold Experience".

I'd love to see a proper release of The Undertaker, along with a DVD/Blu-ray of the video. The whole thing is mind-blowingly cool.

I'm with you, brother/sister! I'd love a CD or vinyl of the Undertaker album. The DVD would be cool, too, but I'd rather have something I could play in my car!

Skee-lo did that. So many memories of that song from when I was a teenager. I think that was his one and only hit.

I think particularly Rave In2 as it's very expensive and difficult to aquire.

But that's the appeal - it was never "for sale". It was an extra for NPGMC members.

I can't imagine they'd repress these anytime soon.

If you were OK with FLAC digital versions, they are (or at least they were) for sale in the TIDAL store.

Oh yeah, I remember that now. I'm not a fan of hiphop, but this was a catchy little tune that I liked.

Actually, it was. I bought mine from the NPGMC store.

If this were to ever happen, I'd like an advance warning so I can sell my CD first. There is one copy for sale on discogs.com for $1,500. eek

Good info - but didn't you have to be an NPGMC member to access the store?

Yes, you did. I was only replying to the part about it never being for sale. It was.
