Maybe it's the grey vinyl of the Black Album.

Purple Raincoats, surely.

The original Black Album on cd probably is the rarest,
according to this anyway http://sleevographia2.fre...0USACD.htm

Wow. I wonder who owns that.

I'd sue..

51 hours is quite rare too, only around 30 copies of that pressed.

Prince's rarest collectibles?

Any one of his mastertapes, surely?

muirdo said:

oldpurple said:

I know what you mean...I'd love to own a copy one day.
I know where they are at least 3 copies for sale.
Maybe one day

how much is it going for at the moment

oldpurple said:

Tales $360-$400

CD is rarer

vindication said:

The cd of the black album is rarer just like the DJ promo release of the 1987
Nevertheless the grey one is rare too. I'm working on a nice idea this year for people to obtain a grey one for not much money (got 2 at this point)

that's not SO bad...

You've all missed the mark completely.

It was the cassette single for Stax-O-Wax that was enhaced with grape-scented packaging. Unbelievably rare. Rumor has it that P himself tossed a Ring-Pop into the glue vat at the manufacturing plant and dared Mayte to jump in after it.

Don't believe me? Go smell your Stax-O-Wax cassingle today to see if you're one of the lucky ones. They're out there!

Strange Tales From The Rain from Japan is difficult to get but most likely not rare. I had this 2 lp set a long time ago and I think it cost for $200.00.

Musicology with "Jewel case" not digipak.

whats the track listing I cant remember

Isn't there some sort of COmp out there with a cover pic that has the maniquin bust used for his clothes?



$2400.00

I've wondered how rare these are,
"Man O' War cd single?
and
The Rainbow Children vinyl?
