The things you can't believe you own -- something unnecessary and fammish, like Hits 1 and 2 seperately even though you already own The Hits/The B-Sides, or the cassingle of Betcha By Golly Wow.

All that I can think of now is that I have Diamonds & Pearls on cassette, even though I have the CD.

The Very Best of Prince
plus some shitty boots

I used to have this obsession with getting albums of my favorite artists in every format possible. So at one point I had a LOT of copies of a few of his albums. With Around The World In A Day alone I had it on LP, cassette, and CD (both the jewel box version and the cardboard sleeve version)


I'm way too po' to do that now a days

"The Very Best Of Prince"

I have three copies of Graffiti Bridge. At one point, I had four Lovesexys,

I have a version of the black album that's played by some vague german unknown band. They released it a couple of months the black album was retrackted from sale

Someone I Know said I was Ridiculous for having all these MY Name Is Prince 12" and Cassetes and stuff with Remixes in my Collection...

I have a shoulder pad from Prince's shirt!

During "Head/Electric Man" on the Parade "Hit n Run" tour, he would strip his shirt off and throw it in the crowd. I was in the third row and being over 6 foot, grabbed it easy.

I hadn't realised how obsessed and sad some fans can be, and as I pulled the shirt out of the air, I was set up by a dozen crazed lunatics pulling at the shirt.

By the time I came up for air, all I had left was the shoulder pad!

I just can't bring myself to throwing it away!

probably the Interactive CD-ROM... must be centuries ago since I last had a look at it

This is nothing. I actually have a piece of paper that Terence Trent D'Arby stepped on and left a dirty shoe print on.

Not even Prince. See? That's ridiculous.

Wow...that's easy!

I have a Symbol chocolate still in it's gold wrapper from ye' old pointless Prince store in Camden Lock. I keep thinkin' "WTF Am I doing with this! (like it'll b worth anything)". I must have kept it so I have something 2 say in threads like these.

LOL...back in the day,I used to do the same thing! I would buy the vinyl album,the cassette and then later,the CDs too.I have 'Parade','SOTT','Lovesexy' 'Batman', 'GB','Diamonds and Pearls' and 'Love Symbol' in all three formats! How crazy is that?

To name a few things:
-The Very Best Of Prince (got it because it's still an official album isn't it?)
-4 copies of Musicology (two from shows, one downloaded version and one retail version)
-a photo of the Prince wax dummy at Maddam Tusade's!

I would agree if I actually owned that piece of shit.


But for me it's New Power Soul.

You kept it???!!

I have a plastic leaf off of one of the fake tree plants from the cover of SOTT and the concert stage.

Ouch! Got to admit i laughed out loud at that one.
I only just recent downloaded it, and have only played it a couple of times. But while i can't admit at all to being in love with it as a whole (the slow deep voice shit bugs me like hell, and some of it at this stage just seems like complete crap!), i'm gonna let it sit awhile like a fine wine, and visit it again now and then in the future to see how it sits: I'm not quite ready to pass a total judgement just yet.

The main reason for this is that upon first hearing it, i fucking TOTALLY fell in love with that whole Digital Garden segue (this 'track' messes with my mind in so much that it has that whole 'parade' underdone/wasted potential feel about it, it surges into some other crap WAY too soon). This is where i miss the whole '80's 12" extended version shit: I could fully dig an extended 20 minute fleshed out version of Digital Garden - that percussion and vocals is just totally beautiful and mesmerizing for a good minute or so...

Yeah, but it's practically dust by now.

i have a bottle of prince's spainal fluid. Found it in Hyde Park whilst i was reading the funday times.

cool, when was prince in spain last? the fluid must be gettin pretty rank by now...

I have, somewhere in my house, a small mirror that has a black ink print of 1999-era Prince on it. It is quite possibly the fruitiest thing a man can own.

The 12-inch "remix" of "I Would Die 4 U".

.

Neon - its a boot and not a very good one

When I went to the first celebration at Paisley Park I took (and kept):

- Toilet Paper from the bathroom
- Grass from the front lawn
- Pebbles from his playground

Sad isn't it?!?!

The Very Best Of Prince--because it's nothing I havn't already heard.

New Power Soul--

The Rainbow Children--Which I can't believe is even SOLD AT BEST BUY.

Symbol Pendant --Which I really wanna throw away but can't bring myself 2 do. It's evil powers just keep sucking me in!
