oh, that's what this is. it showed up in a google image search a couple of weeks ago when i was looking for something to use as an "Indigo Nights" cover image for my iPod.


but, seriously... jesus christ, this is really fucking stupid.

Hell, I thought the book itself was pointless and extravagant.

This is just insane. He's lost his fucking mind.

see ...Prince is not a fool at all look up the original meaning of what a OPUS is outside of this PR agency based in London...if this goes well he might just consider releasing extensive amounts of work housed in an OPUS/VAULT for large amounts of money. I tell you one thing the private performance with 50 guest is priceless either people will start saving or this willbe for the rich only.


and um make sure whomever decides to splurge and buy 7.77 cut diamonds are worth more than the amount asked. please take the pendant to a gemologist to be inspected by a diamond grader. the only a few companies ensure they buy flawless diamonds.other wise it's amethyst and a shiny Cz

SEE folks wanted something NEW AT LOTUSFLOW3r ...well ya got it

Thats the first thing I thought!!

i bet it's synthetic. like his snake skin suit from 1998.

That's what I think of this idea!!

Get the Opus ipod for a lot less - starter kit.

What you will need.

21 Nights book - $50 (less if on special)
Ipod touch - 32 gig version - $399 (less for 16 an 8 gig version)
KRYLON 51913 Purple Spray Paint, 12oz - $3.56

Purple alligator hunting trip and hospital bills if the alligator does not come willingly.... $2000
I think Prince's deal is cheaper.

Man what a **** he is...Pardon my language. I'm so angry.. I was ready to pay up and then found out he's chose to go with leather and aligator skin. Limited edition or not, that's just not cool. What next Canadian Fur Seal lined wreckas. Seems like Prince is happy to spout on about heaven on earth and not eat anything that had parents, but then skin a gator for a book cover. Seriously not cool.Don't he remember "The animal kingdom" from Crystal Ball.Or even his lecture in Rave, whilst quoting Gandhi... "Life of a lamb" etc... Funny how he lost the sale in this instance due to ethics.

Man what happened to him? Doesn't he have anyone around him that can tell him how it is, since his divorce? Keep yo purple gator. I'm sho nuff not down with skinning an animal for anything, let alone for his latest book. Wonder how people would have felt if it was a book bound in purple tiger pelt.Money don't matter 2nite right...

Hope I have jumped the gun and it turns out to be fake skin. Doubt it though

This is completely insane!

brother lost his fucking mind to put out some shit like that for that fucking much. 2 gs? the shit on that ipod better be days long . much money i spent on this fool already with cds and shit, plus my $77 for the half ass site (not bitching, just saying ), i should get this dumb shit for free . fuck a 21 nights! gimme a big ass thingy with lovesexy aftershow gigs and pics and i'd cop that shit with the quickness . costs almost as much as my car . boy, you crazy than a motherfucker

The alligator skin is only for the number one edition Prince opus also has the diamond encrusted symbol on the cover, the one that will be on auction at Sotheby's and the auction winner will get a an intimate setting concert. So this item at auction should go for crazy $$$

The other Prince Opus are leather hand bound book with velvet covercase, not aligator skin. Comes with ipod loaded with songs and a short video. 950 units will be sold. After 950 units sold there will be a drawing of the limited edition number and the lucky winner will receive 21000 pounds.


For his rich fans who can afford this it is quite a deal...

LMAO@ all the hysterics!!!

People are ranting and raving about the outrageous price, and it IS outrageous. But how much you wanna bet more than one person here buys this???

It's obvious Prince looks crazy for selling something like this. Although, he's not selling it on his actual site. But if he sells just 1 of these things, he'll be crazy like a motherfuckin' fox!!!

He's not stupid, he knows just about all of his fans can't afford this. But he's not marketing this to us. That's probably why he's not advertising it on his site. All it takes it for 1 or 2 of people to buy it.

Obviously, if you can't afford it. You're not gonna buy it.

Obvious, if you can't afford it, but you're thinking about buying this. You're insane!!!

Correction though - when you click your info on the site under a new tab "NEWS" they are in fact promoting this to us the fans. Yes you can't buy it from Lotusflow3r but they are alerting us all the fact that it is on sale and enticing us explicitly to check it out.

Anxiety said:

It does include delivery though

I'm starting to get a bit bored with Prince....Wish he would just concentrate on making good music....something he hasn't been doing much of lately.....

Swa said:

actually there are some fans that can afford it

i will not mention any names

but u have seen them at the shows before

they travel from far away places to see the guy

this, in some ways, is actually a nice gift for them

2,000 is nothing to them

it will sell

japanrocks said:

I can definitely afford it, but I would rather spend my money on charitable causes given the present economic conditions rather than on Princely extravaganzas.

Man, why won´t he just release that film on the website, or sell it through the website??

Is this where we paid 77 bucks for? To spend even more money? I think he's out of his mind

japanrocks said:

co sign .all his rich fans from hollywood and rest of the world..


so, yes the price is expensive... but please, stop the hating.....

Prince, still pimping

[Edited 4/11/09 2:34am]

by the way . congrats 2 Prince - back as the film director..

japanrocks said:

A gift, eh? A gift would be if he gave it to them, you know, as a show of appreciation for them traveling from far away places just to see the guy.

In no way is that actually a nice gift for them. What it is, is just more of this



plain and simple.
