The book was OK but most people bought the book for the CD. If you want to listen to the CD it is available online now.

I just dug out my copy last night and listened to the CD. I still like a lot of his humor on the CD. Wait awhile and prices will drop. You should also check www.bookfinder.com it is a meta search site that searches many online book sites.

Well, shit. I can't find my copy of 21 Nights anywhere. Was the book any good? I can't recall much about it. And copies on Amazon are selling for crazy prices.

it was just a picture book. I bought it for like 3 dollars at barnes and noble. My stepdad stole it from me. It's ok, i don't sell stuff like that anyway. I'm gonna check on the jon bream and pop life books. I still have ebony interviews and people issues from the 80's.

Well, now you can go back to watching your Police Academy movies.

I can still find my Police Academy box set!

just go to you tube and watch the blue oyster scenes, it'll be enough to tide you over.

damn, dmsr and jon breams book are selling for a lot. The price people ask doesn't mean anything does it? Especially if no one pays.

that Indigo cd is awful, so nevermind its gone imo...

the book was just a picture book, the 21 nights i haven't really listened to that close, it didn't particularly "suck" though.

I listened to it last night after many years and while not my favorite I did not think it sucked. Now I would not pay big bucks for it though. I enjoyed the Blues Beggin' Woman/Three Handed Woman.

Don't worry. At some point, people won't be able to sell them again. There was a reason they were in bargain bins. That's the ONLY reason I bought one.

"Girls & Boys," "All The Critics Love U In London," and "Alphabet St." are worth having. So 21% of the 14 tracks.

I wasn't too impressed with the photographs tbh. I mean they're nice and all but none of them are iconic by any means.

.

it's too bad you can't find your book & CD but there isn't much you are missing out on if that's some sort of consolation

I found that Jon Bream book on ebay and almost bought it (for a comparatively high but still somewhat decent price compared to other sellers) but I´m glad I didn´t buy it. I read an online pdf of it ( I actually found it by accident while looking for second hand bookstores) , read it and was suprised that Prince bought the rights to it in order to prevent further releases.

I mean, why? There´s nothing earth shattering or any info in that book that was even remotely too intimate.

But, then again, the book came out in the early 80s and I guess not that much was known about Prince back then, and the book also contains some of the first published highschool pictures of Prince. So maybe that´s the real reason he bought the rights to it.

Hmv had loads a few years back on sale for 3 quid, so I bought 2 copies. One is still sealed. There are used ones for 18 quid on amazon uk.

I still have all the music in my iTunes library. For the record, that album sucks. I'm just asking people's opinions on the book. We're the photos good, interesting, etc? I don't remember a fucking thing about it.

Big heavy glossy fucker. Air brushed and photo-shopped to the max. That's all I can remember

ya, and there was some wierd theme that ran through it to, like he was trying to escape from some woman or something. it was only 3 bucks so fuck it.

i got bream and dmsr, both pretty high on there right now, don't know if people are paying that though. I won't be selling.

Well...of course I loved the book I think he did it just for me and the cd is not that bad ya'll damn...Beggin Woman Blues is great, his humor about the Prince and MJ pic was hilarious and Shelby sung the hell oughtta Misty Blue...I enjoyed it.

The CD isn't entirely terrible, but it just feels like such a missed opportunity. He did so many great shows during that 21-day stint. I love the bootleg collections. The official Indigo Nights CD doesn't capture the greatness, in my opinion. The book is pretty lame though. Especially when compared to something beautiful like The Sacrifice of Victor.

Well Imma need u to send the Sacrifice of Victor my way then and that bootleg
