I scooped up some '88 singles this weekend

Woohoo. I'm still so buzzed I just have to share biggrin

Last saturday I went into town with two friends and we
passed this secondhand store which I've already seen
a million times but never entered.

But one of my friends decided she wanted to check it
out so we went and had a look.

There were tons and tons of garbage but right in the
back there was a little shoebox with a handfull of cds
in it. Amongst those were -to my surprise- two Prince
singles from the Lovesexy album.

It was the "Alphabet St." maxi single and the maxi
single of "I Wish U Heaven".

Trying to surpress my obvious exhilleration I went to
the counter cool as possible and said "Uhm, like how
much would these two be?".

Guess what, they were only 1,50 dollar for the two of
them.

woot! woot!

So I've been jamming to the long versions of all them
songs all weekend. Best of all is "Scarlet Pussy" long
version.

Yoo hoo.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

yes indeed. I couldn't believe it when I saw them. Especially the Alphabet St maxi, I
had never even seen that before.

If the guy in the shop had been able to see through my pokerface, he would have
charged me much more LOL.

Are they really that rare??? Wow, because I have got them as well (but I bought them in back in the days when the songs came out...)

And - I just love that long version of I wish you heaven...

And, somewhere I still have some cassette singles from SOTT...

That's (almost) funny. I almost got hold of the Glam Slam CD once, but the guy could see I couldn't hold back my grin, and decided not to sell it!
