It's 150 bootlegs sold to gullible people.

That person should have 150 negative feedback.

Its not out of print and in fact from what I heard from most #wreckastow shops that I been too most places are wsiting for more copies to be pressed vinyl wise which takes time. The kast vinyl copy I got came from FYE.

It was pressed on February 1, 1995. According to PrinceVault, Prince didn't do anything of note on that day, meaning it's highly likely he was free to actually press this CD with his own hands. If that's the case, this is a bargain.

It's clear from the album notes that the seller is obviously a fan, "A soundtrack to a movie so appalling that it is infinitely wiser to let the record stand on its own merits. While Prince cavorted in purple kitchen foil and rode his Harley in high heels, the real star of the film, the music, was doing all the talking."

People without scruples: don't you just love them?

And when this person originally purchased it, they bought it out of a Value Bin! Wow, what a profit!

Exactly. Mostly non-fans just looking for cash. Just type in "Prince" and then click on "Entertainment Memorabilia" and 9000 items pop up. Homemade shit, fake shit and borderline retarded shit is mixed in with some real stuff. I realize now why Prince tried hard to prevent this sort of thing.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
