... every week you search the movie titles in the directv menu, to see if Purple Rain, Grafitti Bridge or Under The Cherry Moon is coming on that week, even though you already have them on DVD

You have the 1999 cd with and without DMSR.

What? Is this is a real thing that happened? Sounds like a collector's item. Why would they do that? Space? And why pick one of the best songs on the record?

Your music collection includes Elevation's "Traitor" 12"...just in case...

The original CD release of 1999 doesn't include DMSR (not enough room to fit on one disc). Later, as CD technology was able to have longer runtimes, pressings of 1999 include DMSR.

It was a space issue at first, when CDs were limited to 74 minutes. Technology improved for later pressings and enabled enough space to include DMSR. . DMSR was on the Risky Business soundtrack, which I believe is why it was omitted from the first cd release. . http://www.princevault.co...p/D.M.S.R.

Why didn't they just release as 2 discs like the original lp?

B) The Vault is your favorite book. Or alternatively, Per Nilsen is your favorite author.

You exchange actual currency for AOA and PE.

You already have AOA and PE on Spotify but you go ahead and exchange actual currency for them anyway!

...you could write Prince's name before your own when you were 4

Tfw u and your boyfriend legit planned out making a shitty sock puppet remake of Graffiti Bridge as a piss take and planned out the voices and everything.

We wanted to make it as funny as possible and give Aura a deep cockney mans accent and make Morris Day sound like A Pimp Named Slickback from The Boondocks

We will probably make it one day but just for us to laugh at. It'd be cringey as hell.

When I was 4 Prince hadn't even released any music.

If you need guess what year each is, you can't be a true fan, a person who likes and knows of Purple Rain is not a Prince fan

you know for a fact that he isnt gay..

Going into a bookstore yesterday (A big local chain) and they are playing Somebody's Somebody on the intercom and the song finishes, and some Moby song comes on. I go up to an attendant and say, do you guys have Emancipation in the CD player and they are "What is Emancipation". I say it is the album that last song came off. She says oh that Justin Timberlake song, I say no its Prince and its off his 1996 album Emancipation.

.

She a young Polynesian girl about 20 says "Oh that Purple Rain guy, my dad has that record, you're joking that can't be him, I thought he died in 1985" I laughed and said no, he is still making music, she just shook her head and laughed. I gave up, ah the young and ignorant.

.

Decided she was too clueless, that he was known as the Symbol at the time, why confuse things?

.

Black Bob agree about the gay bit, being gay myself, I kind of know he ain't one of mine and never will be. Ignorant non fans always pick on him for that shit. In fact that is the second qualification of fanhood, knowing Prince ain't gay (The first is, that he has made albums and songs other than Purple Rain).

Surprisingly, many of the people I know don't think he's gay (aka never believed he was). It saves me breath

You immediately look for Prince CDs in record stores even though you've already heard/owned them all.

Or you actually know which ones you are missing on CD

But the only one I am missing is "Prince".

But I do have the album on Vinyl, cassette, itunes, digital (Computer and tetradrive), Flashdrive.

.

Which is the next point - Not only do you have the albums, but you need them on as many formats as possible

1. Vinyl (Especially for Pre 1995 material)

2. Cassette Tape (Less vital, but again up to 2000 or so), many of us started collections with cassette tape copies

3. CD (Most widely collected format for all Prince albums)

4. Itunes copies

5. Digital copies saved to computers and hardrives

6. Sheet music books

and the most extreme

7. Piano rolls for player pianos, these exist for most major albums and singles up to the mid 1980s.

.

Same for all the singles, vinyl, CD and tape cassingles.

Then we move to international copies, like the stuff on sleevographia including Russian knock offs on 6 inch square vinyl platters.

.

And that is before bootlegs and unreleased tracks. Get them all and you have a vault bigger than Prince's
