As I write this, I reflect on the fact that I need to replace my copy of "1999" because it simply refuses to play "DMSR" without skipping, and I can't have that! What albums have you worn through so much that you have needed to replace them?

Here's my list...

Dirty Mind- on my 2nd copy
Controversy- on my 3rd copy
1999- soon to be on my 6th copy-
Purple Rain- on my 2nd copy
Sign o' the Times- on my 2nd copy
Lovesexy- on my 2nd copy
Symbol- on my 2nd copy
B-Sides- I just made a CDR from my bro's so I wouldn't have to shell out another $50
The Gold Experience- soon to be on my 3rd copy.

LoveSexy - 4 times
SOTT - twice
DirtyMind - 3times
1999 - twice
For You - 3times (first was an 8track)

You should take better care of your CDs! LOL

Actually, I'm in the process of replacing them all right now Damn him. And me.

Gold-all messed up
Black album-plays fine but to many scratches
Hits-disc 2-skips during one song
and a new copy of the London 88' aftershow the CD has a gash in it and it permenatly skips right before the solo in just my imagination! !!!!

Wow! I guess I should consider myself lucky. I play my Prince CD's to death & I've never had to replace any of them. Are you guys also using your Prince CD's for coasters or something?!

LOL, xtruex, i've never had to replace any yet....
Now, some of them i've bought on CD because my first copy was an album or tape.
Just remembered that my '1999' CD doesn't include "DMSR", something about them not having enough space to include it.
I know the newer ones have that song included...Damn!!
Gotta go now...on my way to the wrecka stow.

Symbol album: went from tape 2 video 2 CD (the irony? I wasn't crazy about this album when it 1st came out)
SOTT: So worn out, the audio on the tape actually has VOID spotting throughout. Time 2 purchase CD replacement (+ video).
Other than that, all releases pre-GOLD are tapes needing 2 B replaced by CD's.
