Hi folks – we’ve all seen (pics of) acetates of Prince’s vinyl singles or albums over the years. The ones I saw all came from Bernie Grundman’s mastering studios. I was wondering, are there still any mid-eighties Prince acetates available among collectors today, and if so, how much do they usually go for?

To give you an impression of what I’m talking about, here are two pictures of an acetate that I’ve bought two decades ago:

Thanx for your feedback!

For this period (the 80's) there are Grundman acetates for many of Prince's (and associated artists) singles / albums etc... rarity (and value) typically depends on whether the acetate includes any unreleased material; song, version of, or mix of...

Prices range from $75USD to $500USD+
