I have it too. I think the print error is that one of the mixes is on there twice and is not listed on the sleeve.

It's not really a misprint. The first run, the actual record was pressed with "Paisley Park" and "She's always in my hair" on the A-side and "She's always in my hair" and "Paisley park (remix)" on the B-side. The sleeve for the record didn't mention "She's always in my hair" being on the B-side, only the A-side. There was a run where they fixed the actual record so "She's always in my hair" wasn't on the B-side. I have both, the fixed copy is rarer.

Here is the mistake one:



Here is the fixed version:

Did you see it at Hot Hits? I sold mine there in '92

Hmmm.....I know cassettes are usually worthless but....Ive never heard anything about Black album on cassette. I bought a sealed one years ago from a classical music store (?). Im just curious if it's worth anything.

Was there a re-release by Warners? Mine has a peach colored catalogue number on the spine, and nothing else.

ONA Piano CD.....lost the cd years ago. Found the sleeve but the CD--I have no CLUE what happened. DAMN! I dont even care about the value, I just wanna hear Young & Beautiful again!! :*(

i have 2 framed silver discs of P's presented to my dad from WB for promoting him and his records, one is a 7 inch of when doves cry and one is a 12 inch i cant remember the track names theyre in storage at my mums house in england, but theyre defo purple rain tracks. im guessing they must be worth a little bit ;]

how many different colors did the black album vinyl get pressed in?

Back in 1989 I dated the VP of Warners daughter. She had a cassette of The Dream Factory which had the Paisley Park logo and catalog number on it.

What about the 7" ?

Don't know when the auction took place but I'm quite sure it's been some time (before 2000). In 2002 I got a copy (*no* fake) at ebay for 720 EUR. At least I guess it was in 2002 - check Alex's Sleevographia. The price for this sale is listed.

51 Hours.

There were only a couple hundred released to Paisley Park employees and family.

I have a copy of "The Back Album" (ot black, although I have that too) and a tape titled " CLubbing It"

right. I'll go with that one. You know I almost bought that that evening.
I ended up dashing out of the store ...with the intent to pick it up the next day. when I returned to the record store all of those albums had been pulled.

I hate I didn't go on and pick it up right then. oh well ...ya snooze ...ya loose, as they say.


I heard back in '96 or '97 it was going for about 13k....if you could find a copy for sale from somebody. I don't know if that's true. But could be.

wow. track list, please?

Afraid not - the misprints have been on eBay a few times over the last couple of years. If i recall correctly they didn't realy go for that much. A lot of non-Prince dealers don't consider it to be rare (at least in the auctions i've noticed). Believe or not, i picked up a copy last year for less than £10.
The mis-print with White leterring is a lot more rarer (and still on my wanted list), and some lucky person jumped on a buy-it-now price of less than £2 recently. Not sure if the deal actually went through, though.

It was one single track called 51 Hours.Tisn't very good either

We've talked about this record many times on this site. It's rumored only 30 exsist.

Here's a story from Goldmine magazine about it, featuring an interview with me and Alex from Sleevographia and Tim, a former moderator of HQ:

It is completely CRAP

Love these threads. But I almost didn't add a reply - I felt a bit like maybe bragging around.

However, if listing rare records don't forget about I Wish U Heaven 12"/UK test pressing (either purple or blue) and Batman 12"/UK test pressing/clear vinyl (either labeled or white labeled).

And sorry, but no, to all those who asked every now and then - I have changed my mind and don't consider selling.
