I recently procured a new turntable having been without one for many many years.

I have dusted off my old Prince records and am having a sonic treat.

I WILL NEVER LISTEN TO ANOTHER MP3 AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE!*

The sound is so much more fuller with a greater dynamic range and warmth that even CD's cannot replicate and DOESN'T hurt your ears when listening on headphones.

Of course my collection is mainly 80's Prince and a little from the early nineties.

My question is this; what of his recent releases have been made available on vinyl?

I would kill to hear Lotusflow3r, Planet Earth, 3121, musicology et al on record instead of the soulless cd's I own.

I know Purple Rain has been recently replicated on 180gm Vinyl.

It would be nice to know other specialist labels have had the opportunity to do the same with his later catalogue.

The most recent item I know of is The Rainbow Children, which is unbelievably expensive.


*of course this is unrealistic, but if you could hear what I'm listening to right now you would agree also...

I have musicology on double lp vinyl. If I remember it might be a promo copy. Not sure if panet or lotus came out as commercial copy or promo here in the states or overseas. Anybody out there know.

Thanks for the link the dance! Very helpful.

You should have a look dolorespark, according to this site, Musicology 2xlp is a fake... Go figure...

I beg your pardon, its the 12" sampler thats is a fake.

I love my vinyl.

I've got both 3121 and Planet Earth on vinyl. Think they're both promos, I had to get mine off ebay. Cost me 20 of my English pounds for each of them, not bad considering they're both doubles and seem to be on pretty thick vinyl. I'm sure you canfind them on ebay, just as I did!

Love all my vinyl. I spin it old school. I treasure all my sealed mint vinyl (back up for my back up).
