Does anyone have a picture of the original longbox that housed the CD? I've been looking all over the web for a site with a picture, but to no avail...

Thanks

Why is it valuable? Other than the fact that they dont make long boxes anymore?

The original album on vinyl has the same artwork, right?

The actual CD packaging was cardboard, and the longbox folded out to hold the case. I've never seen it, but I've read about it on the org a few times before.

Yeah I guess so, I just can't really picture it, and I'd like to see it.

I have one in storage. Sorry I can't show it to you.
I knew I should keep it though. Nice to hear your interest.

I bought my copy of ATWIAD in the long box. I only have the cardboard CD sleeve now...I think I threw out the long box when I moved a few years ago. . I saw one on ebay selling for like $60 or something like that. I heard they are very valuable.

I have this CD. Unfortunatly I no longer have the box.
The CD slipped into the box that folded out The CD also fits into a "record sleeve" before being inserted into the CD jacket, just like an LP.

'nuff said.

I have several Prince longboxes stored away with my collection. I'll have to check my lists to see if I have ATWIAD longbox.

These are quite valuable as it was one of the first examples of the CD longbox available!!

There were also cassettes released in boxes and longboxes. Here is a list of Prince longboxes in my collection:
