My (Prince related) Valentine's Day gift My wife bought me record frames for Christmas a couple of years ago. Naturally, I put some of my centerpiece Prince records in them. Unfortunately, I never got around to hanging the frames. For Valentine's day, while I was at work, my wife took it upon herself to hang them for me. I love my wife!

You are one lucky man! Congratulations on having such a thoughtful wife!
The frames on the wall look great, btw.
Looking at the pic again, I've just realised I never knew promos were ever released for '51 hours'. Is this a valuable collectible?
What's the second single on the left in the lower frame? Can't make it out in the pic. | |

I plan on making one more row. I still have a couple frames.
The record you are refering to is "Black sweat" on purple vinyl.
Here's the story about "51 hours". This is an article from Goldmine magazine, I am the Dan Sheldon interviewed. The article is quite a few years old as my collection has grown by leaps and bounds. I have over 200 12" singles from over 10 countries now.

That article was a great read! I didn't know that was the story behind '51 hours'. Your collection must be impressive. Collecting is such a joy in itself, isn't it? | |

An original "Gett Off" 12" promo... Niiiice. | |

Just be sure that sunlight doesn't hit the wall they are hanging on. Prolonged exposure to sunlight will fade the colors of the covers. Also, make sure everything's perfectly flat if you don't want the vinyl to warp.
That said, looks awesome! Happy valentine's, indeed!! Not dead, not in prison, still funkin'... | |

I appreciate the tips, very little light gets into our bedroom as it is. I'll have to take the vinyl out just to be safe, except the 2 that kinda need the vinyl to be seen.
Flip: I'm grateful for your offer too but I'd need at least $6.00
