A very expensive way of showing it maybe

The Opus is a classy keepsake. A lot of collector upset because they cannot purchase one. But Hey! Some people are just luckier than others. I'll put it on the list of things I'd like to have along with "The Cloud", an autograph, and another concert.

Collectors will check ebay

I think you think too much. THe record is set, and people know it. It was all over the international press, it's well documented (including all 21 audio boots I have of it). Why sell some $2,100 item to "show people" something? LOL THINK about it. It's silly.

And it ain't worth 2,100. Why not just release a stellar DVD set instead of a coffee table book?

if he felt he needed to do this to prove himself for playing 21 nights and Michael ends up playing 50 won't that defeat Princes purpose for boastin the opus?

not only that but this project is unlikely to gain widespread media coverage anyway (seriously, have you seen the other opuses by other artists covered?).

As a collector i think i speak for many of us when i say...LOL. Prince can do whatever he likes but the truth is it is his outlier years 81-89 that is worthy of this kind of packaging and sticker price. If WB owns it, or a lot of it is in bad condition then it is worth it to him to invest in striking a deal and fixing what can be fixed. He wouldnt have to do a limited release because we will determine the market which is huge, many of us would pay 1,000 for a large portion of the vault, DVDs with classic (81-90) concert footage and aftershow jams.

it's being auctioned late 2009? when does MJ play the o2?..i think it's prince way of reminding the brits who the real rockgod is

I DO think it odd that a self proclaimed vegetarian, then vegan would endorse the sale of a poduct that is wrapped in crocodile skin... or have I misread something?

I think the product is lovely but a bit outta most people's reach in these current depressed times, I would still like one but have to think very long and hard about spending that much money on something that i essentially all ready have and the money might be needed for another concert experience which money really can't buy.

I love U P and always will xx for your mind not your body you fool !

I don't think Prince cares enough about the Brits or Michael Jackson to go to the trouble.

BoySimon said:

Yeah - that he isn't a vegan anymore.

And it isn't crocodile (which is endangered). It's alligator.

How much does Prince's Naked Kiss in the bed next 2 U 4 a lifetime cost?

I knew it this was intended for unique and the Brits

I think some people will try to rationalize just about anything!

Prince isn't releasing it. It's being sold by another company.

I would buy it if I had $2100 to spend on Prince... I have damn near have everyting that I could buy within reason. The key is within reason. I have the 21 Nights book and honestly I never read it... I looked @ the pictures and loaded the CD on my PC. It does become a good conversation peice when company comes over, as does everything else Prince related.

As 4 Prince himself or the company that put this project 2gether... It works, it a good qaulity collector item 4 those who can afford it. It's a realy nice book and the jewel encrusted symbol, is the greatest thing ever and don't 4getthe 40 minute documentry (like we won't b searching 4 it 2 leak out). Like I said... If this was a few years ago, and I wanted 2 spend $2100, I would without thought order it. I now have a family and I don't go off the deep end 4 Prince collectables like I used 2.

I stand by the thought that Prince can demand such a price 4 those who want 2 pay the price. Prince has just as many fans that r not effected financally by the "recession" here in America. It's their choice 2 buy or not 2 buy such a book. I know that, I would... if I could bring myself 2 part with the cash, just 2 say that I have something that under a 950 people in the world have that is a true Prince collectable. But that is where it would stop becuase A collectable like this doesn't belong 2 those who trip over the price.

where could we have read that he isn't a vegan anymore?

Genesia said:

without his permission, natch.

stanleylieber said:

And they are setting the price not Prince.

mzsadii said:

and he has absolutely no control over the contents of the package, the materials it is made of, or the price.

prince is the victim in this situation, and the fact that some of you are unwilling to pay $2100 for a deluxe product made of animal parts is proof.

I have no problem with this Opus thing, if i had the money i would buy it, just for the Ipod, i almost got U2's one some yrs back, but went to Jamaica instead. And i hate Ipods

I thought about buying it. I'd have to choose between the opus and being able to go to other shows and buying items when the option presents itself on Lotus.

Shit, I still need to fix the handle on my car door. Just cant seem to part with the $$$..... but when it comes to Prince...well....

I think you're probably dead right Lottie!! Way out of most people's reach though especially at the moment, but I can't WAIT to see that 40 min 02 film... Close ups!! the helicopter landing in London at the beginning ..... But couldn't he just have given it to us... he said he loved us in London....



Oh, and I WANT that 21 Nights jacket too, desperately...
