I do. It's a great example of the Minneapolis Sound. | |

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

 I have the same CD, I bought it off EBAY knowing it was a fake but I was able to get it for under $10 with shipping! I'm a huge fan of the Apollonia 6 album. So many killer tracks! But yeah, I do hope there will be a proper premastered release with 12" mixes and bonus tracks some day soon. *fingers crossed* 
Oh, and btw, I also purchased the Mazarati CD from the same seller for the same price. [Edited 1/18/10 13:10pm] Dad. Cartoonist. Illustrator. TOPPS Star Wars and Walking Dead Illustrator. Film Illustrator. JEDI. PRINCE Fan. www.theartofprince.com

Jeez I saw the legit Japan original sell for the same, but I guess not in a few years. I guess the o.g.'s are getting a little scarce. | |

Yep, interesting and I know this is what they say about it .. however, the Jacob Armen CD does have official Steve Parke artwork, and I doubt one single person can master the Cds, do all the artwork, without passing security . Same for the holgram stickered exodus promo can, the green coloured jewel case stickered promo cdsingle Get Wild. There is just too much work on it. I also have promotional German video tapes. My guess is Princ gave a yes to these releases, and later decided to pull the plug, as usual. So my guess, NPG definitely had an idea what was going on I AM LOOKING FOR USED PRINCE CONCERT TICKETS ... https://www.facebook.com/...erttickets | |
