Just opened 3 of my copies...they were all fine with both discs and everything. FYI: I called the Manager at Virgin before hand--open discs are returnable for Store Credit only...

MY "ULTIMATE" PRINCE FROM VIRGIN IS PERFECTLY FINE!

Bothe discs are there everything is fine, sound is great, HAE the Cream NPG mix, why origianal version isnt there is a mystery/shame. Please let his entire catalogue be remasterd...oh, speaking of that, curious why the packaging doesnt trumpet the fact anywhere that this is all remastered stuff..hmm...

I've bought a copy. My mother would go mental at me if she knew that I'd paid so much for an album...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ULT...dZViewItem

It was "Buy It Now" for £54.34. I figured that when 'The Hits/The B-Sides' came out, I paid around £29.99 for it - and taking inflation into account, it's probably only a little more expensive.

Looks like I'll be eating beans for the next month again.

I still think it's a bit of a con though. I'm basically buying this for six remixes. Everything else has already been released on CD. The edited versions of the songs on Disc One can nearly all be found spread across 'The Hits/The B-Sides' and 'The Very Best Of Prince' compilations. The only track on Disc One which doesn't appear on the prior two compilations is 'My Name Is Prince (Edit)' and this was on the UK CD Single anyway.

Yes, I know that the tracks are louder but to my ears (from the tracks leaked on the P2P networks) they're just louder - not remixed from scratch.

so if a cd is recalled, can it still chart? It is still being sold and racking up numbers. The accounting firm can't refute the sales. So can it chart?

Go sit in the corner and think about what you have done !!!!! lol... lol


As long as the CD is not released in 3 - 6 months time in the same format then I would call it an investment - I personally would not have paid that but then I am a stingy git !!! lol


It is your money.....Spend it as you will.....My partner still goes nuts at some of the prices I pay for stuff ..... wink

I called Virgin Megastore in Times Square today. They have "Ultimate" as an import and are holding it to the side for me.

The guy also told me that the US version will be released in September.

At this point, who knows. But I can't wait to get my copy razz
Come here, babe.. yeah...

Exactly...Tuesday night I went in and bought several to sell at cost...then I went back last night to buy more and they were sold out...
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

I have seen it detailed for release on June 6th 2006 at 3 places, so maybe that might be the "Official" release date ??

Tangerine has said that no date has been set for this release. He's even buying copies for himself through other means.
