I'd really like to get my hands on one of those someday (either the white or grey Black Album promo). I would prefer to find one with a number that hasn't yet been tracked down and get it added to the list. It's cool that there is a website keeping track of who owns which numbers.

Announcer: Will return after this message: ( don't keep your stick 2 the topic panties in a wad thx! )
@ Genesia : I love ur sig, but I gotta ask, what was or is the point of going to stripper places, watching the girls dance for an hour or whateva and then scold THEM on how they dancing? I mean, why are you there in the first place. Same old Prince. Can you shed some light on that.That ain't Jehovah like
Announcer: and now will continue with whatever the hell you were talking about. Next poster, take it away.... Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone ![]() | |

My wife is actually very cool about it considering that she has only a slight interest in Prince's music. She did have a stamp collection when she was a kid, so she understands the idea. I just wish I had made the effort to buy some of these things when they were still in print and priced like other items. I knew that some Prince records were valuable, but it never occurred to me that something as basic as the standard-issue Vanity 6 CD would eventually go out of print and shoot up in price dramatically. Kudos to those who built up their collections when the items didn't cost obscene amounts of money.

It's true that some items are worth a lot now which were normal price or at least not extremely high-priced back then (I should have bought more than one Goldnigga CD in the NPG store back then for example With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be!

My wife says she wants me to write info on each record I own so she knows how much to sell them for when I die, so she can pay for my funeral Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. | |

That's true. It's hard to predict what will happen, even with things that you know are rare. The guy selling the 1987 longbox CD on eBay right now may get thousands of dollars for it, but he might have gotten even more if he had sold it before the 1994 reissue. I wish I had a real crystal ball (not the one that comes in a plastic petri dish) to see what records or CDs you can buy cheaply today that will be worth big bucks in the future. Not so much because I'd want to sell them, but because I'd hate to pass on something now and later find that it's prohibitively expensive.

Just 5 minutes ago I thought (inspired by this thread) that my family might just throw away things like my Apollonia 6 CD and tons of stuff like that when I die With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be!

I'm 99% sure that the reason the Apollonia cd is so rare is that it was only ever released in Japan on cd, and was not released till 1990. If it's not a Japan issue cd, then i'm afraid it's a fake. If it's a Japanese pressing, then you are sitting on a goldmine.

My signature has no deep meaning. It was just a ridiculous comment by an orger who shall remain nameless (mostly because I can't remember who it was) that made me laugh my ass off. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I wonder how many were actually pressed. It may be that there are actually a good number out there but those who own them are not interested in selling, so when they do come up for sale they fetch big bucks.
As an investor, I guess I should be rooting against a remastered version now, because I think the issue of a remastered version would reduce demand for the original (even though it would still be a unique item). But as a fan I do hope we get a remastered version of that CD and the other associated artist CDs (not to mention Prince's own stuff). But I'm betting that there will be no remastered version, or that, if there is one, the sound quality will be inferior. I hope I'm wrong.

I have no idea how many were pressed. I'll bet there are a few sitting in peoples collections over the world (especially Japan) who have no idea of it's value.
As for remasters, I think we will be very lucky to get Prince albums remastered, never mind associated artists platters. You never know though, maybe one day.

The ironic thing is that you can get the vinyl record for $5 or less, and it probably sounds better than the CD. Same is true of most of the Associated Artist albums. The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach. | |

True that. Genuine copies of The Family, the Madhouse albums and others on vinyl can still be found with relative ease and not too much outlay on ebay.

I found Jill Jones on vinyl (in great condition) at a local wrecka stow. I could have ripped it, myself - but just went online and found a lossless torrent (which was undoubtedly taken from the vinyl) for my iPod. Best of both worlds.

Wow. It never used to sell for that much a few years ago. I remember most ebay auctions topping out at around $300. Maybe I should consider selling mine now. | |

Having owned both the CDs and vinyl copies of the associated albums, I think the vinyl editions do sound better. Record labels hadn't yet perfected CD audio in the 80s sadly. | |

I don't know. If the sovereign debt crisis takes down the global economy, your associated artist CDs could be a hedge against inflation.
P.S. Now may be a good time to sell a copy of The Vault book, too:

If there is a new edition of that and a remastered Apollonia 6 CD in a few years, I may feel like an Enron investor.

I will most likely hold onto my copy for too long and sell it after Cherry Red or some other small label rereleases it officially and only get $20 for it. | |

I had it back when it was released and lent it to someone and never got it back. In recent years, I got a copy for 50 cents at a thrift store and it was still sealed and had never been opened. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Does no one have/had the "My Name Was Prince" Japanese promo? It was released to promote The Hits/The B-Sides and is worth several hundred £/$/whatever. Eil had one for an age, they kept reducing the price gradually, but it still sold for several hundred pounds. As you can see, the tracklist is nothing special at all, but this has to be one of the most collectable and valuable cd's out there.

We should start a derivatives market in Prince and associated artists CDs. For example, I could (hypothetically) promise to buy both of your copies in 2022 for the price of $1,000. If it keeps going up in value, I'll come out really well from the deal, but if the Cherry Red remaster comes out in the meantime, you'll win the bet.
We may need a securities lawyer to advise us on this, though.
