PRINCE 12" volume 2 1985--1989 (2 cd...21 tunes) they cost $50 each.
by ladybird records 2005.

my ?? is has anybody else seen these and r their any more out there ??
and YES they r worth picking up.

The only problem....i have to say.. why did u buy them...or pay so much
Yes there are more 86 and up - vol. 3, 4 (i think),
and if your me, a must have...
but i just hate to pay for them....but i did buy mine. but not the set you have i got all the singles ,cds,12,45, (only the important ones)
But i do have a copy of the set you have, it did have ,mabye a hand full of things i didnt.

wow its a BOOTLEG

I bought Vol 1 & 2 back in the mid nineties and paid $125 a piece for each. Both came in gold embossed tins, and the discs were gold as well. Probably some of the nicest packaging I've seen for bootlegs.

The sound quality is really good, but it sounds like they were taken from the LPs.

Where did you get yours?

IAintTheOne said:

no, not bootleg. good pictures and the sound is good.

here in milwaukee,WI. at atomic records on the eastside.

SIRTONY said:

bootlegs can have both. nothing about a bootleg refers to its sound quality or the quality of its packaging. Sabotage and Thunderball, to name just a couple of old bootleg companies, traditionally had great packaging and sound quality.

SIRTONY said:

It most certainly IS a bootleg.... Fact.

SIRTONY said:

Ladybird records.. Pirate/Bootleg label has nothing to do with Warner or PPE

I actually have mine on vinyl I got from a DJ record store in the U.K. They are each multiple-record sets, PRINCE 12" volume 1 1976--1985 &PRINCE 12" volume 2 1985--1989.

Ladybird puts out some very good quality stuff, fixing glitches and such that previous bootleg outfits didn't do.

But people, don't get this site into trouble by asking for or offering where you picked up unauthorized merchandise. Prince's camp comes down like an elephant with a college degree.

Remember what orgnotes and email are for.
