Purple Rain on vinyl at HMV - CHEAP!

I went into HMV yesterday as they have a BIG sale on I was surprised to see they are selling Purple Rain on vinyl for £2.99 from an 'alleged' £16.99. It comes with a poster as well!!!!

Seems like a good deal to me if anyone doesn't have this on vinyl.

Also, it was quite refreshing NOT to see piles of Musicology on clearout as with previous recent releases!

(hope this isn't old news)

Thanks for the tip. I'll pop into Brighton at the weekend and hunt one down... I really need a third copy to keep the other two company.

Yeah, I know it's silly. Here's how I am justifying it to myself. I have a black vinyl copy, no poster, played (quite a lot) and a Purple Vinyl copy, with poster (not mint) played a bit. Therefore I'd like a Mint copy with poster...

... that's a pretty weak argument when I write it down, but at only £2.99 who can argue?

Nope... makes sense to me... especially @ £2.99!

I found Purple Rain on vinyl for $1 at a record shop and the "PRince" Album for 25 cents

Hi, me again... Which branch did you get it in? I have two here in Brighton and neither had it. Did you buy it in London?
