I saw today Planet Earth on a bargin bin here in Portugal.... I went today to buy a cool leather cover for my iPod. I did the usual pelgrimage through all the records shops I passed...and I saw Planet Earth twice in discount and once in a bargin bin!
I was like "WTF!..." 
Just came to the conclusion that: or I must one of the few portuguese who buy prince's music or the album was forgotten... | |

 It's about 4 or 5 Euros here.
It makes for a nice coaster  | |

Well, it was given away for free in a UK newspaper and with every UK concert ticket in 2007, and it's now available for next to nothing as a result on Ebay, so I doubt most people are going to pay full price for it. ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

I'm from Sweden and I'm probably one of the few who buys his music here. And then it comes down to: do people not buy his music because their taste is inferior or because taste is relative? And my conlusion when it comes to musical taste is that mostly it's just a matter of taste based on music cultural history in respective country, with some exceptions (there is some crappy music out there). But of course from a personal perspective, I would've loved if more people dug Prince. | |

Yeah. I'm with langebleu. When I started shopping for Prince albums to backfill my collection, I kept seeing Planet Earth for 1-3 USD. I bought my copy for 3 USD still factory sealed. The biggest local record store near me was selling used copies for 11 USD... pfffff
Got mine on-line for the cheap. After reading scathing reviews here and elsewhere I was determined to get it as cheap as possible in case I hated it. | |

I've got about 6 copies lying around my house!! I found one lying on the beer soaked floor after an aftershow and retrieved it, because I thought it seemed a bit disrespectful! I can't imagine anyone having to PAY for it, that's a bit naughty even in a bargain bin! But, we were lucky in London I suppose. And.....I LOVE Portugal, I miss it so much..... | |
