How many Prince CD's do U own?

I've spent a great amount of my time over the years searching out Prince CD's that I had not previously owned. To date I still don't own them all, but I have 27 of them. They are the prize possessions of my music collection. eye truly enjoy listening to them. How many Prince CD's do U own? Do U own any rare memorabilia? If they are unique, can U post pics of them? eye heart Prince and the ORG.

i have all the officially released albums on CD, and between vinyl/cassette/CD, i have nearly all the singles...though these days i only count my CDs, and so there are quite a few cd singles i don't have yet. but every now and then i'll find a few used at wrecka stows for cheap, so i've filled some holes in my collection that way.

i've got a few unofficial things too. but just a few. wink

I know its way more then a 100 in the official category because I had a 100 cd holder that is full. I used to have them all but I started selling off the ones with value (The War and the Hit and Run singles etc) and I've stopped buying the newer stuff but I still have plenty.

All the official albums, all the official maxi-singles, all of the releated artists available on CDs (Paisley Park artists), etc.

I've ripped nearly all of them into iTunes and, excluding related artists (these are tracks sung by Prince), I have 751 songs, 2 days, 13 hours, 52 minutes and 2 seconds of unduplicated Prince tunes. 4.19 GB ripped as 192 kbps AAC files.

Frickin' 2 gb iPod Nano...not even half as big as it needs to be to hold it all. lol

Yeah, I feel ya
It pained me to pick and choose what "selected few"
Prince tracks I could sqeeze on my 1.5 GB Mp3 player

In the end I had to lower the sound quality to the telephone
quality, to get 250 Prince songs on, along with 400some "other artist's songs"
If you will, so will I

I get laughed at on a regular basis for it by my buds, but
here on the org I feel so inadequate sometimes.
Like I don't have enough lol

Too many to count. Right now I'm gonna guess over 200, that's official and unofficial releases.

All of them...

Every officially released CD, LP, 7", 12" and CDS.
And quite a few imports and promos too (though I only tend to bother with
these if they're different in some way to the regular release).
Oh, and every related artist album on CD and/or LP.

not even one.

sold everything when Rainbow Children was released. My entire collection, all cds, boots, every 12", every promo, every poster etc.

Now I can actually enjoy music and not 'things.'

Does this make me 'not' a fan?

I am a true fan, just not a collector. not anymore

All of the official stuff (including the god-awful 1999:the new master), and a combined total of about 200 bootleg cds and dvds. It pains me 2 think of how much money i've spent on Prince since I was old enough 2 buy my first Prince tape (i've been a fan since I was 3 years old and I'm now 24). But collecting his music is so much fun, and nothing can beat hearing a Prince song 4 the very first time. Even if U don't like it, the experience itself is so cool...
