The Best Buy Sunday ad had it listed at $14.99 and Target had it listed for $9.98.

I got a copy yesterday in the mail .

Didn't actually buy it. Instead, a few years ago I won a Rhino contest where the grand prize was every CD they ever release.

If this is cancelled, I have a an instant Collectors item on my hands

best buy also has the old track listing

LOL, I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I wanna see if anyone finds this in their local wreckastow (or any other store for that matter!).

c'mon Tangerine17,give us the scoop!
is this thing being sold tommorow or what?
I appreciate the fact that you came here and gave us the details of this project,how about a little follow through now?
every source I have checked with thus far plans on selling this cd tommorow(3/14).

As of today, it's no longer on the Rhino website. I think that says something

According to Target.com

Too bad I don't have a digital camera, or I'd do that.
It's the cover you see in the ad. Inside is a foldout with pictures of a bunch of album and single covers , kind of strewn about. Then there are credits (white letters on a purple background) for each song, giving the musicians and engineers for each track, and what album it originally appeared on. Interestingly, there is no CD mastering credit. I personally was very interested to see who mastered this release

i just contacted the best buy in my area, and they told me that it will be sold tomorrow for 14.99.
that they do have them in the store room.

oh shit, i should have asked his name, so i can kill him if he be lyin'

What do you think of the remastering?

boyubad said:

I am travelling a LOT these days so can't check in too much but ads are all due to last minute cancelation. They could not pull them. All stores have started returning CDs and are not allowed to sell the CD so I doubt you will find any tomorrow. Some slipped through the cracks, which is the nature of this kind of situation. Sit tight, this should be released later this year and if not, well, those of you who got it will have the "white album."

Listening to it as I write - My first thought this is the beast I ever heard this material sound. "Sign O the Times" in particular is a big improvement over previous versions. Even later tracks like "7" and "gett Off" sound fuller, with more prominent bass, and with greater clarity than their original CDs

Well, stores will be open in a very few hours, we'll see if anyone finds it on the shelf!

I thought this set was cancelled?

Thanks for the heads up.I'm on my way to Target in the morning!!

HMV UK says its deleted. Virgin UK says release date 20 March...

i'm buying a few copies, just in case it is deleated and some stores got it by mistake.

anyone find it yet?

wow, I kinna wanna run to target this morning just in case they put it on the shelf..

I went to Target in Jacksonville, Florida, this morning, and it wasn't on the shelves. Checked Circuit City as well, and they've posted a notice that the "Street date has been delayed due to vendor circumstances." I can't do an in-store pickup on Best Buy's Web site, so I guess I shouldn't waste a trip over there, too.

the artwork is better than The Hits 1 or 2, and the Very Best of...

If I could compile Alan Leeds liners with the photos of this one you'd have a perfectly attractive set.

I was suprised to see an afro'ed Prince (For You promo pic) staring back at me when I opened this booger

UPDATE: I GOT IT!!

Went to Target and Circuit City in Jacksonville Florida this morning and found nothing. Circuit City had posted a notice that the "street date had be changed."

I figured there was no use in going to Best Buy, but I went on my lunch break and much to my surprise, they had 3 copies.

I bought them all.

The track list is different than what I've seen posted online, but the sound quality is great. Hearing early-era tracks remastered really makes me hope all the more that Prince will give his back catalog the remastering treatment that it so badly needs.

I got my copy from best Buy just has the sales guy was pulling them off the shelve. Best Buy has pulled all the cd's from all their stores.

nooooo! I was going to go on my lunch hour!

HELP!!!!!

Or, maybe you got lucky and got one?

Well, I went to Target (Taunton, MA) to get the CD and they had a notice that the CD was not going to be released and that they would not be offering rainchecks although the CD appeared in their Sunday sales notice. Just thought I'd let y'all know.
