Emancipation £6

I have just seen Emancipation in the sale at Music Zone for only £6. What is going on?

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Ever since diamonds & pearls it took only a few weeks after release of a new prince album ,to find that same album in the extra cheap for sales corner at my cd-store.
Because i was always one of the first to buy an album when it was out ,i have been dissapointed many times.
Nice for the followers ,not for the leaders. smile

I know what you mean. I know a place localy that sells it for $9.99 (US). At one time it was on sale for $6.99. I was almost tempted to buy every copy to try to sell them for a profit.

You should see the prices in England.

A general album can cost between £11.99 and £13.99, probably about $20? We get ripped off on the CD scene.

TRC now retails for £20 and I've seen Crystal Ball for up to £55

You guys out in America get a bargain compared to over here!

I got my Emancipation CD for $6.99 to go with my cheap arse cassette copy that broke...and which i paid $20 for...


I didnt feel bad for buying it cheap...if the album flopped, its not my fault...let me enjoy the discount!!

Those $9.99 copies have a hole punched in the bar code on the back and should be in the bargain bins. Many shops sell these in the normal 'rock/r&b' section, but i don't think they're supposed to.
Either way, those are likely left-over copies EMI wanted to get rid of. I used to see Graffiti Bridge and ATWIAD in the bargain bins quite often.

I bought Graffiti Bridge on CD at a deep discount...also, I saw "Emancipation" at the Rite Aid pharmacy for $9.99 -- couldn't believe it!

JM, i've gone to a few record stores just recently, so i can't remember which one, but i think it was Best Buy or Sam Goody(which is owned by BBuy).

I've seen "Emancipation" being sold for a mere £1.5! 3CDs of quality music for your pleasure. Actually they had huge stocks of the album that they were practically giving away everywhere. In fact you'd be a sucker for paying more than 6£ for the album even these days.

Not that it wouldn't be worth it. In my opinion, it's worth at least a few quids more!
