Just for info, I was out at a disc store today in Germany, and to my surprise they stocked PE, it is a gatefold cd like 3121 and has a hologram cover, has anyone else seen this, cant remember anyone mentioning it.

out of interest I looked it up at amazon.de and also found a review from a popular radio station, that described PE as genius and out of this world, I was totally . I will post the link, for those of you who can understand german.

Oh my God, I need one of those!!!

I wonder if HMV have got any imports yet?

i hav that version i ordered it from amazon.thinking it was a jewel case cuz i couldnt stand that shitty cardboard sleeve case i got with the paper.when i got it i was a little dissapointed cuz i wanted a jewel case.but the hologram atleast made up 4 it

I'm getting on to amazon then.

Regardless that I have about 16 copies of the album anyway, I want a hologram digi-pak!

For the collection - you understand?

i was just reading a comment Roodboi said on the "whatcha hate about P " thread, [quote]although it's certainly more my problem than his, I hate that I grow a lil' less excited about his new music with each album...

Funny, makes me think of today in that shop, seeing the gatefold version of PE, with the hologram cover, although I have this album about 15 times already, I still got a relapse of the dayz back when I went to the big stores on oxford street in london, and unlike the stores in ireland, which would have artist prince, and then a batch of his albums, these mega stores had the batches listed down to albums and 12" records, an entire aisle long. Ah those where the dayz, i cant imagine what it would have been like to have lived in london in the 80´s.

, damn I am getting all melancholy

that is the normal version for Holland.

Ha,ha! Well I grew up in London in the '80s and I can tell you that my average saturday....

would start at the Virgin Megastore Tottenham crt rd, then round to the little record collector shops behind it on Hanway st - then up to HMV oxford st - the t-shirt places on carnaby street - round to Tower records at Picadilly - then back round to the HMV on Bond street - up to the other Virgin Megastore at Marble arch - and then check out the bootlegs in the shop that was in the basement of the old Kensington Market!!! - then....

to finish off I'd go to the record and tape exchange in Notting Hill Gate, especially the store that had the rarities and collectables!!!

I also remember the rows of Prince vinyl 12", and how my heart would jump when I came across a cool Japanese 7" import or a U.S Long box cassette single!!!

Oh the old days huh?
