ONA Live, The Rainbow Children, The Hits/B-Sides, Emancipation (tacky, but good tacky)...the rest are pretty crappy looking with little info to spare, except for perhaps the liner notes to Crystal Ball.

Parade and SOTT have my favourite "look" and music from Prince though.

Hits/B*Sides is class all the way.
so plush.
ONAlive is very cool.
TRC is classy.
& the prince album with the gold symbol on the case is legend!
something so simple but just great

I love Rainbow Children - but The Hits was my favourite. The piece in the booklet on his career was brilliantly written and he looks perfect in the photos. Classic Prince.

its gotta b the rainbow children as everything about the layout,style,etc,etc is C.L.A.S.S.I will probably get the cd cover blown up into a poster for my wall.And the Jazzy funky-ness makes it my best since the year 2000ad came about.Its now 2003 and nothing touches it.

SOTT easily. When it came out on double vinyl it screamed "look at me i'm mysterious, ambitious and fucking cool". I loved the lyric sleeves too. The whole package just screamed brilliance. It's still great looking at the CD but the vinyl was just so sexy.

i cannot believe someone put 'Rave' as one of the best? What are they, stupid? Rave is the worst album ever. It has the worst cover ever, and he even ruined a perfectly good sheryl crow song with Larry Graham. Dont get me started on Larry Graham and dont get me started on the person who put Rave as one of the best in terms of Prince albums, packaging-wise!

Thats like saying 'NPG GET FONKY!' and thinking you're cool or talented.

I actually liked the Around The World In A Day album cover myself-- the vinyl cover album that is-- the CD cover doesn't do justice to it!! The Purple Rain vinyl album is great,too, especially since it came with a collectible poster!! In recent years, The Rainbow Children album-- I'm so glad I got it when it first came out!! Great artwork!!
