I have all of the albums that were released in the record stores...even the bullshit ones. I thought I had all the 12 Inches and maxi singles but, every now and then, one pops up that I never knew existed. I also have most of the 1980s protegees' albums.

The Chocolate Invasion is my favourite Prince thing of the last 5 years

Yes, I have all of them.

Well, by that logic, very best of is also a "collection of songs old and newer".

I initially thought this thread was called "Do your own Prince album". And I was already like "No way, maaan. Can't be arsed."

Anyways, nice weather for October.

How can i argue with that ??

I suppose i have every song on the very best of many times over & had already paid $70 for the hits/b sides when it was released so that y i didnt bother, i never actually said it wernt an album ..... BUT it is a very poor best of (a PR & D&P benfit is what i would call it)

It's a promo.

I started a thread about the promos and E.P.s yesterday - http://www.prince.org/msg/7/163788

The tracklist is here...

http://xanoke.topcities.c...eve_01.jpg

I got everything from Prince that's in my reach.

I got everything except ONA : Live 3 CD set which I've never got around to getting , probably cos I already had enough bootleg CDs from the tour anyway and never felt the need to splash out on the same stuff .

All I need now is (on CD, I have all the albums bar ONA in mp3 )

1978 For You
1993 Gold Nigga
1994 1-800-New-Funk
1996 Girl 6
1997 Kamasutra
1999 Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic (I have this on MiniDisc )
2002 One Nite Alone...
2002 One Nite Alone... Live!

Basically the rare ones

Thanks once again fishpaw. Funny how they have all the singles in the correct order of release there except for Thieves.

BorisFishpaw said:

Tut Tut Boris, great list but U left out One Man Jam AKA Minniapolis Genius or Symbolic Beginings.

A true Prince fan would...so yes for me...

RepoMan said:

Prince is against bootlegs
Nah though , I wasnt that keen on that tour anyway , a few of the weak songs off The Rainbow Children didnt do a lot for me live so I let the 3 CD set slide.
[Edited 10/14/05 18:03pm]

I have The Time and Ice Cream castles, and Romance 1600 by Sheila E

Ja, mein herr!!!

PURPLESKY said:

The same here

Loads of people with loads of Prince albums .....

Everything, including multiple copies (The Hits 1, The Hits 2 and The Hits/B-sides; clean and normal; Gold normal and 'limited edition' version; both versions of the Musicology commercial CD... )

Don't get me started on the numbers of the same albums I have over different formats..

I got EVERYTHING!!! Every album, every b-side, every remix or long version, every video, and about 900 boots. I almost wish I didn't have as much as I do, because the hunt for it all was quite fun - and, sadly, quite expensive.

Once I went to a website called thedatabank.org and when I saw all those boots, I was discouraged - I was like "I'll never get all that." 4 Months later, I had it all. But I don't have all his LIVE CDs - There's just TOO many. I would not have time in this world to listen to them all.

AlphabetST1977 said:

That's my collection. Plus I have a lot of 7" & 12" singles from back in the day. I also have a bootleg LP called "Crucial with Miles Davis & Friends". I bought it in 1990 along with the Black Album.

ashynevermind said:

Do you have all that stuff on cd, or mp3 or both?

I had the same reaction when I found the databank. I got a bit depressed realizing my collection will never be truly "finished". I can't believe you got all that stuff in 4 months! I'm jealous!
