I'm quite certain more then 5 exist but that is a VERY rare item if it's legit which if memory serves thats how it looked when delivered (which doesn't mean he didn't copy the artwork etc). Does anyone have a list of the radio stations that received it?

I have a burned copy of it and it was real exciting at the time because it was released well before ONA.

If legit I don't think the price is outrageous. Now one day I saw someone paying around $200 for the boot Funk City which is completely insane.

Just out of curiosity do you think its a fake (and if so why?)or priced too high?

I'm glad you reminded me of this disc because I forgot how much better I liked the version of Xenophobia on this cd compared to the one on the official release.

It looks about as bootleg as a 21 tracked GoldNigga with bad photocopying

Oh wait....I saw that too. Whatever.
But what about this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-...dZViewItem

Why would anyone want something that looks like a Prince cd, but really isn't?

Not really into collecting are you?

lovemachine said:

Well, I'm no professional but...I am steadily working on my own Prince collection. Judging from your response, I guess it's probably worth a lot? I wouldn't want it though.

lovemachine said:

Not very good at patronising are you?

jone70 said:

It's not

Lovemachine's just trying to act authorative when the Gold Experience CD's worth fuck all.

There was indeed an EP of ONA Live released, but I don't think it looked like this. I think it had the text printed directly onto the top of a silver disc - this one looks like someone's been messing around with their R200 and printable cdr.

What else are you supposed to answer when she wonders why someone would want something that didn't play what it was supposed to. Because it's collectible. As for value things don't always have to be worth a lot to be collected.

freakyfeet said:

First of all that's not a sentence so I'm not exactly sure what you are saying but exactly how am I acting authoritive? It's not like I even mentioned what I thought it might be worth or gave any information other then it's a collectible.


I assume you are mad because it seems you didn't know the original item (The ONA EP) existed (and you will notice I said I didn't really know if it were real or not) but it certainly exists.

Looking around I found this from Dawnation
http://www.dawnation.com/comingup.html
scroll down and you'll find it. Looks exactly the same as the eBay listing, so no idea if it is real or fake.
Definitely very easy to make copies of, though.

I thought it looked the same. Its worth tracking down a copy just for the version of "Xenophobia" included.

lovemachine said:

I can read you talking about me. I understand that something may be collectible b/c it's unique, but come on; $270US for a cd that doesn't even have the right music? I mean maybe if it had the Black Album instead of Gold or something, but who is this Blur Parklife cat? At any rate, someone seems to find it interesting, as there is a bid on it. (Maybe it's you? )

Didn't mean to cause any trouble...

jone70 said:

I agree with you jone70, I think lovemachine's just coming across an arse on this thread.

freakyfeet said:

Ahh, thanks for having my back.

freakyfeet said:

I just looked and the Prince Mugs paid more then $550 for it and and the Gold Experience you said was worthless sold for $125 and for the record I didn't bid on either.

lovemachine said:

I never said the Gold/Blur cd was worthless, just that I didn't really think it was worth as much as that person was asking. I was just teasing about you being the bidder, btw.

jone70 said:

I know. It was the other guy who said it was worthless. It's all good though

lovemachine said:

Just becuase someone paid $125 for it on ebay doesn't mean it's worth that.

As to £300 for that ONA CD - time to burn some CDR's and print up some labels !
