What was the hardest cd for you to find or to get? I have to say that The Diamonds and Pearls cd with the holographic cover was so hard to find. Lucky I searched hard enough and found it.

i haven't been able to find parade

You can get that one pretty easy.....just look around the Internet.
Subscribe to yourmusic.com and get it for $5.99.

i had a hell of a time getting Crystal Ball

Ordered it 4 times from 1800NewFunk
and they fucked up the order over and over again
distribution was slow as molasses..
took forever to hit the shelves overseas and
I had to have a friend mail it to me from the USA.

GoldNigga.

Ok, somebody get me two original black albums. And throw me in a few dozen "Peace" cd singles as a starter.....

The Family, Mazarati, Madhouse 8 & 16, Jill Jones, Gold Nigga.

Damn, I got some many of them Mazarati CDs I'm using them as coasters!

Pagey said:

The Family was a hard one to find, the rest are available.

not sure why you'd include Mazarati in this list.

yup. i think the only reason i even kinda vaguely want it is because it's so hard to find.

thankfully i don't really care to make the time or the effort.

Crystal Ball/Kamasutra/The Truth-the few times I've found it, it's way outta my range
Rave Un2/In2 the Joy Fantastic-never even seen it
Goldnigga-no explanation required. I'd like the uneditted, but I know that's asking too much.
Exodus
Girl 6

I want The Black Album and The Gold Experience. I've been looking everywhere for a clean copy.

Tracked copy of Lovesexy.

the "Rave" cd got stolen out of my car, it took a while to find another one, but I got the "moneyappolis mix" cd from NPGMC.

Black Album

Where are you finding Mazarati's Paisley Park CD? I see it every once in awhile on ebay and it always goes for $100 or over. Wasn't it originally only available in Japan?

Same thing for Madhouse and Gold Nigga.

Jill Jones is somewhat easier to find but its always at least $40.

Pagey said:

and its worth it

Folks, a lot of the Prince CD's you're looking for are available right now at www.secondspin.com , including (as of Saturday morning) two copies of the Black Album! Just enter "Prince" in the artist search.

I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the years: good service, modest shipping charges, and I don't think I've ever got a bad CD from them. And they provide reasonably-priced airmail delivery of CD's (with liner notes but without a jewel case) to customers outside the U.S.

P.S. No I don't get a kickback for endorsing them, just trying to help y'all out!

for you fans ive just got emancipation on cd and look at this 3 cds 36 tracks for only £2,99p in UK at HMV music store its a steal playing it now

For me the hardest one to find is that bootleg "DANCE TO THE BEAT" from 1982. I believe that's the show where they play "ALL THE CRITICS LOVE YOU IN NY"

Goldnigga and Exodus here in the UK, and Come was a very lucky find.

Pagey said:

I had the Family, I lent it to a friend of mine (not anymore) and the idiot never returned it... Although it was a cassette but still...

Randomly found Exodus in a Wherehouse Music store. Still can't find Gold Nigga anywhere but E-Bay for a crapload of money.

not forgetting the 15 track or 16 track copy.

The Undertaker (official).

Jill Jones (was this one ever released on cd by the way???)
The Family (the same)
The Black album (i just cant seem to find it in any store, even not in secondhard-record stores)

By the way, here in holland, you can boy Emancipation in about every recordstore for 6 euro, thats about 9 dollars... No too much money for at least 12 - 15 good songs, and some filler material

Well you don't know how much you helped me! I bought the Black Album today from that site...and I've been looking for that one for ages.

The "Batman" CD was the hardest for me to find.
