Sacrifice of Victor book

Who has this? I am curious about it. Where did you get it? Has any1 seen it 4 sale anywhere? (please don't tell me ebay). How many copies were printed? Any in4mation would be cool. I thought it was another one of those infamous Prince projects that got dropped.

£700?? Outrageous!
I finally managed to pick up a - paperback - copy of 'Sacrifice' at this year's Celebration. They were selling copies for $30 each (around £20/£25, I guess).

I'm glad I have it, from a collector's standpoint, but I wouldn't call it an essential item.

Got it at Paisley Park a year or two ago.

I have this book.
I bought it at the old NPG store in Minneapolis back in...wow, maybe 1994?
It's got some great photos in it.
I have the hardcover edition, and it's cool, but not essential.
If it breaks when it bends, you better not put it in.

I missed this one and the other book of poems...I forget...Neo-something...they have fantastic Prince photos.

I could have bought it at Glam Slam West, but I just sat on my laurels and said later...regret it in a way.

Oh well, one day I'll have it for reminiscing.

Great photos, very 'natural' ones, unlike many of his which are often tooo sophisticated.

Its called Neo Manifesto. I think its available at the NPGMC site. Its not all that great tho, just some cheesy computer graphics and like 10-12 really thick (posterboard-like) pages.

I have a bootleg called "Black", and the pictures came in the booklet. By the way, the cd is great, some rehearsals from the Gold era.

Are you talking about Sacrifice or Neo Manifesto?

Sacrifice only has the lyrics to The Sacrifice Of Victor.

Neo Manifesto contains lyrics to:

Color
Crystal Ball
And How
Don't Talk To Strangers
Empty Room
Old Friends For Sale

and

God Is Alive

No, the black & white Sacrifice of Victor photo book, with mostly lyrics from the Come album. I remember seeing one song lyric that wasn't on Come, though...maybe it was from TGE.

The format is the photo on the right-hand side, and one line of lyrics on the left-hand side of the layout.
