Yes, I had the presence of mind to buy much of the Paisley Park output on CD. I kick myself every day for not copping The Family CD, but I did manage to get several others, including Jill Jones. That stuff is collector's gold. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

That stuff is collector's gold. The Family CD was hard to find in the US compared to most Paisley Park items. It was only available as a Japanese or European import. I found my Japanese disc in a local import bin for $20, which at the time, was a lot. I was lucky enough to pick up about 5 of the Jill Jones CD's when Best Buy had them as cut-outs, for about $2 a piece. Before the days of eBay, I traded most of them for other Prince stuff. I more than once passed on buying both of the Madhouse discs when they would come up in used CD shops, since I already had them. I should have popped for the $8, considering what they are worth today. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Same with me, I grew up with vinyl but for some reason I totally ignored 7" I didn't totally ignore 7" singles. I have all the officially released US 45's and a couple UK ones, I just liked the 12" singles better:  Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. |

To me its not vinyl, its any book or magazine article, there are bargains to be had here in New Zealand. I got a copy of Prince "Imp of the Perverse by Barney Hoskyns" for $5NZ (US $2.59) a year ago and my copy of a pop life by Dave Hill cost 20 cents from a garage sale, apart from looking well read, both books are in good nick. I also got a March 1986 Rolling Stone Mag for $3 ($1.56) from a shop in Dunedin (New Zealand) that has Prince in Paisley Pajamas with WendynLisa So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

I was lucky enough to find some stuff on vinyl. I was given an original LP issue of The Family purchased for 20.00, and I did pick up a Madhouse CD for the same price you quoted, 8.00. I also found Madhouse 16 on vinyl online for about 9.00. Sometimes, the sellers don't know what they have.  Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

IMO, that's not only the best of the books, but the rarest. Good pickup. I'd LOVe to have that '86 Rolling Stone. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
