What is it?

The Batman CD in a black tin. The booklet was circular. It was a special edition of the album. Here's one on eBay:

Cool, thx. And it's new too! Great, now I have to choose between this collector's item and an old Black Album Bootleg. Tough choice.

I don't know why you would want an old Black Album bootleg. It was officially released in '95 though it's still kind of hard to find, and it sounds the same as the old bootleg unless the bootlegger has thrown a few extra tracks on there. All the bootlegs originally came from only a few original test pressings - but how you can tell the difference when the cover is just pure black I don't know - makes it very easy for bootleggers to pass it off as genuine and steal your cash unnecessarily.

I would get the batcan is I were you. Those bootlegs of the black album are
just the same as bootlegs of any other type: boots. non official and not as
rare or sought after as anything else. Besides, the album was released back
in 1994 so it's even officially available (be it very hard to find).

But I hardly ever see the "batcan" turn up anymore. I have one, but it is a
bit damaged. Still, it's a nice thing to have and the disc itself is nice
with that black on black batman logo on it. Much nicer than the regular cd.

The songs are all exactly the same as on the regular version so there's no
different mixes or different songs here. It's just the packaging.

I thought i saw an edition of that album in an actual canister. Any thoughts?

Is In All My Dreams released at all?

doctamario said:

No, but a bootleg of the Black Album is not the way to get it. The Batcan is a more desirable collector item, and All My Dreams belongs on Dream Factory (a famous, famous boot)

I agree. . .get the Batcan. . .forget the Black Album boot. . .

and look for Dream Factory. . .'twill blow your mind!

I have the Batcan , and My 7yr old loves it and makes a special request..all the time.. wants me to "play "...that Batman song!!!!"...

I don't mind, because Batdance is one of my favorite Prince songs. I love that guitar break.

Alright, thanx for the advice all
