...would just listening to the opener 'Jam of the Year' make them run away again?

I dunno. Does it sound any better for £3.99?

well i'd hate it if they returned it and got £4 back for it. I'd look like a right cheapozoid wouldn't i?

Sure. If they were a fan and don't have the set...there is plenty to listen to and enjoy. It's not my favorite...but it's an easy listen...including the opening track.

if someone gave me emancipation for free and i was starting to get into prince's stuff, i'd enjoy it - i remember when i first bought it and dug through the liner notes book and thrilled to the fact that i had 3 discs of prince to slog through...of course, the booklet is very cheesy and i actually only like about 1.5 of the three discs, but i'll always remember that opening it up for the first time was a rush.

Why not compile?

The gift of "Emancipation" is the fastest way to have them re-bury a Prince appreciation. For that money, you could buy your friend a burrito. Life giving sustenance, instead of soul-crushing shlock.
