Is This A rare Version Of 1999? & Lets Pretend Were Married

I paid like 6 bucks for it at the beat....in sacramento...and it was made in germany

if you notice it has 7 songs instead of 11 and it only has one vinyl instead of 2.

then i have the single of Lets Pretend Were Married with the Bside Of Irresistable Bitch...is this rare?

Hey Miss Murder Can i, Hey miss murder can i, make beauty stay if i take my life.....ohhhhh

I guess it's just shorter version of 1999 (the first UK release). Then it was re-released with 11 songs tracklist.

Can we all just, like, pause for a moment and remember how sexy Prince was back in the day.

How just pure, raw and sexy he WAS! licking

thats fine, i just dont think the main concern should be rarity when it comes to music.

If you want to find out if something is rare .... it's best to do as much research before you buy. People in the forum don't mind helping out. Homework is a good thing.

i have that same maxi single

i don't think much of the prince stuff is that rare or at least very expensive, i find great deals all the time in the .50-$1.00 bargain bins, like the time ice cream castles, sheila e glamorous life, old prince singles, all for 50 cents to a dollar a piece. the most i've ever paid for a prince vinyl might be $5-6. i think the maxi single cost me around 2-3

the only thing i could think of that might cost you a lot would be an original 80s pressing of the black album or maybe even one of the early bootlegs, though i see the boots around sometimes for not much

The 1999 LP is a fun collectible. In some countries there were split releases of the 1999 album, meaning two single vinyl platters marketed and sold separately. Each had varying track list configurations. Brazil had a 1999 II.

The Let's Pretend Were Married/Irresistible Bitch 12" is not a rare item, but still nice as a collectible.

I actually have two versions of the single 1999 album. One has the normal Warner Brothers label and the other has the "eye" label

I don't think there's anything wrong in asking if something is rare or not. And it begs the Q why doesn't this site have a collectibles section?

In Australia the single version was the main released version of the album. The double was much harder to find. If I remember correctly the single album has the edited version of LPWM instead of the full one with the dirty bits! (and when I was 12 that was what mattered!)

I agree, we should have a collectables section. I don't have any myself but i like to see what other fans have, also if you want to know anything about Prince this is the best place to ask. When I started collecting Prince cds I was searching loads of sites and could'nt get a complete list of his music. Fansites are a great place to get all the info you need on your fave singer.

exactly we should have a collections section so people can share their rarities and ask questions and get answers on what they have and what its worth....we should talk to the mods and ask if they can add a collections forum...cuz i know i get all kinds of new prince stuff on a weekly basis and am curious what its worth

I don't think the org needs a separate collectibles forum. I also don't think folks should bite someone's head off when a poster asks a question about Prince memorabilia. There are plenty of "what's Prince thinking right now?" threads for those people.

It pops up on eBay for around $30 once in a while.
