So is The Black Album (vinyl LP) worth anything more than just another Prince album?

I went through my dad's gigantic Record collection and I found The Black Album by Prince. And he said that's worth some money.
There should be two, though, so I'm definitly keeping at least one.

Is it the Erotic City records release 1988? I bought one on Ebay a few weeks
ago for next to nothing.

An original vinyl Black Album (dependent upon condition) is worth something.

Did he say he had two? That link indicated there are only about 6 known
existing copies of that record. He's sitting on a gold mine!

I have that same one. It's not worth anything. I've had it checked out a few years back. Unfortunately, I forget what it's missing (or actually has on it) that has cheapened it's value. Sorry to burst the bubble.

The Erotic City one is worth about $20 right?

As with everything, it's only worth $20 to the extent that someone is prepared to pay that much fot it.
