On Amazon.com a lot of Prince's back catalogue is up for preorder. Is this for real?

All you need to do is just search. I've found a lot of stuff on preorder. It's almost a record a month.

Other than the LPs and Rave Un2 The Year 2000 what are you talking about?

www.Amazon.com There's your link. They're not grouped together. Just search Prince, then choose "vinyl" in the left column, or look for a particular album + the vinyl.

But the stuff up for pre-order is vinyl. Come, Graffiti Bridge, etc. Hell, you can find a CD anywhere.

I noticed that but can I ask a silly question - why do a few people like vinyl when CD quality is better? Or is it just a nostalgic thing?

Honestly- I like vinyls for the art. I frame most of mine and have them hung all over the house. Always have. I used to keep them all on one wall but there are a few artists albums I have.

I sponsored the L7 documentary on Kickstarter and have a signed copy of them live at the Palladium. That's on the wall.

I mixed it up. I thought albums were better sounding but were mostly a pain in the ass. ?

I'm excited for the vinyl but want to replace my cd collection. The liner notes! The cd books. I miss that. I was just reading the notes in crystal ball. :yes: I hope the vinyl has liner notes. I love album art!!!

I was wondering if there are maybe 50 pages of songs and notes to make up his biography.

even on the newer albums which were recorded digitally, i can understand older albums which were recorded on anologue equipment but do the newer albums really sound better?

This is actually NOT TRUE.

But there sure has been a lot of hype to say otherwise. Almost like a religious fog.



Read this carefully:

I remember switching from records to CD's in '89-'90. I'd listen to both in expensive headphones. CD's have more range and clarity. For real. I have every Prince album and 12" on vinyl up until Graffiti Bridge when I switched to CD. I was making tons of mixtapes off of vinyl before that. CD's have a full ragne. Vinyl doesn't. Vinyl also has surface noise, compression, and dirt.



But the one thing that sucks about CD's is the size of the artwork and packaging. Vinyl was so cool for the art, the covers, the sleeves, the record labels. LOVE THAT SHIT.
