And this broken heart of mine

That would be a tough one to find and very expensive, I would think.

Keep an eye on this and on eBay and expect to pay a LOT of money. You'd be better off buying the VHS or just downloading the damn thing but if you have too much money to spare you'll find a legit copy eventually.

There's a copy on eBay right now if you're feeling flash.

$888.00 for a CD? Prince fan or not. If I had $888.00 to throw around without a care in the world, I'd be using the cash towards a trip to visit my family in the UK. That said, its settled. Till the bloody CD appears at the normal suggested price down the road, I'll remain happy with my collection. Thx everyone for your suggests anyways. Have a great day.

Unfortunately I dont think this CD will ever show up at a normal price. Warners destroyed most of the copies so only several hundred remained. I had to find mine through nefarious ways and I also found the video. This is one of my favorite albums by Prince (I know, I know, not technically an album) but still one of my favorite recordings.

How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart?
How will U know if I'm even in the right key
If U make me stop before I start?

Just bought one on Discogs for £45 had contacted the seller who confirmed it was a playable version.... at that price I'm doubting it's a real one but hey!

Be very careful, there are a lot of bootlegs of this album. It would probably be easier to track down a genuine rip of the original cd, then you could at least enjoy the music while you save up your money.

It was a bootleg (lazily or purposely) put on the official Discogs page for sale, gonna request a return and refund.

Mind you nit supprised at that price!

I got a bootleg copy from eBay just before he passed on for £22. Seems like they're asking for silly money now though.
I wanted what was yours, now I just want u 2 care

Bet that it will be a available for purchase again, legally. Maybe not in CD format, but probably on Tidal.

I think that everything we consider rare - like Undertaker, Goldnigga, etc. will all be re-released in the "near" future (within a few years).
