Be happy you got 3 pounds. I gave my extra copy to a friend of mine - for free. | |

It takes a hard lesson like this to become a true Prince collector. I knew this was a collectible the day I got it. That is why I never opened my second copy. It is also why I bought 3 copies of NEWS (it was only $10). People will be searching for these in a few months. I keep spares of several items like this. I also buy everything that is released. I did this back int he 80s when people were not paying attention to the Paisley Park artists like Mazarati, Jill Jones, Madhouse, Ingrid Chavez - now those CDs go for a ransom. Have you seen what a Vanity 6 CD goes for on eBay?? | |

How did you extra copies? The day mine came in the mail I attacked it. I miss getting stuff in the mail. Are those days over? | |

Reminds of when I saw The Family's album on CD back in 93...a Japanese import in the USED CDs bin...I passed on it cuz I didn't wanna get anything else that day and told myself "I'll come get it tomorrow"...shit was LONG GONE by the time I got there...Fuck. Desire, it covers our faces

i think he is being a little greedy at £70.
The going rate seems to be from £40 - £50 i cant see many people bidding for it. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Yes, between $25 and $50 on ebay which is relatively cheap compared to CDs by The Family, Mazarati and Apollonia 6. Expect to pay at least $100 each for those. | |

i doubt NEWS will be that collectable simply because you can buy it on amazon and the npgmc, and ONA might go down in price for the cd once everyone realises its available for $10 as a download.
casual fans will suffice for that i'd have thought, then again its not exactly casual fans paying £70 for a cd so what do i know? | |

Remember those NPG singles (Peace, Underneath The Cream, The Daisychain) that were only sold at shows a few years ago and are now out of print? Even though they have all been available as downloads for awhile now (as part of 'The Chocolate Invasion' and 'The Slaughterhouse' comps), whenever one of those original CD singles appear on ebay, they still sell for lots of money. | |

There are no bids, mind you. Dynamic Savior Said: Also, do you think that ugly people are God's cruel joke on humanity (like the platypus and the heterosexual) or another form of population control? | |

the rest i can see...this i seriously doubt. Doubt on - this album is an oddity and Prince fans will want to hear it. not enough people did because the genre is too advanced for the average hip hop and pop music listener. Real jazz heads appreciate more, I think. | |

Right there you have a collectible that is relevant to real collectors: oddities, limited editions, album that will be out of print soon or are out of print. Who the hell was rushing out to buy Apollonis 6 on CD when it was released in Japan? Now the disc goes for $300 on eBay. | |

The "Mazarati" CD is rarest one of all, back when these Japanese releases came all Prince fans knew who A6 was and bought it but only the hardcore collectors knew about "Mazarati"... The last time I sold one of those it went for $500+ whereas the A6 album goes for max. the half of that... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

The last Mazarati CD I saw on ebay sold for over $300. I don't recall the Family CD ever selling for that much. | |

True dat. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
