Hello

Of course my indecisiveness is leaving me to almost last minute with regards to making a purchase. Did anyone else make a purchase and if so, what?

Nope, nothing. I'd like a shirt but probably would never wear it

A shirt & a picture disc. Well, I only wanted the picture disc but had to buy them both to get it

Exactly those sneaky buggers! Especially when you get to the check out screen and the disc is $15 Oh well, at least I can say I have it. I dont like that they don't say a size chart

I would DEFINITELY have worn a D&P one until it was unwearable too

I didn't get anything. Too expensive. Although I did have a friend pick me up a 7" purple vinyl of NC2U from Electric Fetus.

I sooo wish I could do that too I tried to put in an order hope itt went through

Well, I just pulled the trigger and bought the picture disc and the black symbol shirt... I'm back baby!!

I'm a Tee shirt guy 97% of the time, and I bought the NC2U, and Dirty Mind group shot tees. I plan on wearing them well.

I`ve been looking for a shirt with the album titles in the symbol shape graphic for a while but haven`t found a good one.

Was excited when I saw it in the store but!!! it only comes on a bomber jacket.

Note to the powers that be... you could have sold a bunch of shirts but I can`t imagine you have sold a whole lot of bomber jackets! Give options please.

That same symbol design isn't new, it also appeared on official Diamonds and Pearls t-shirts back in the early 90s. Sometimes those old tees come up for sale.

I got the NC2U tshirt, picture disk and a Dirty Mind tshirt.

I liked my 1999 tshirt from the previous pop-up store run, though I found their baseball hats to be a slightly weird shape / fit. Or maybe it's my had. Also dislike the way they mix the PR-era Prince font with other era design.

Pic disc with T bundle & the Uptown cap.

Liked the Dirty mind jumper, but white and me are a no no, plus having a pircture of Prince wearing stockings (sort of things) on me walking around in public....??

I'm hoping the Estate do well with PP and new music and video, but I have no interest in be part of the gouging that seems to be going on with the tacky merchandise and Ltd releases (like NC2U bundles).

I don't think the legacy of a guy who didn't support material things, is an endless sale of material things, but, each to their own.

Really want that bomber jacket, but like the rest of the merch, too damn expensive!

I got the picture disc/t-shirt combo. Didn't really want the shirt because it only came in men's sizes, but I figure I can just use the shirt as fabric, cut it up, and incorporate the design into something that's more wearable for me.

I apparently missed out on the Electric Fetus sale, so a few questions if anyone could help me out with some info:

--The "Nothing Compares 2 U" 7" on purple vinyl is the limited one, right? AND the only copies for sale are at the HitNRun Store (aside from EF, which sold out instantly)?

--The ONLY way to get the vinyl at the HNR Store is through a bundle?

--And finally, the store disappears after today (4/25)?? Or just the NC2U single?

I really hate the idea of paying $50 for one 7" and a shirt I'll never wear.... But I feel like I'll have major buyer's remorse when the single is long gone. Decisions decisions.... And this coming from a guy who hasn't bought anything from Prince directly since the Crystal Ball fiasco over 20 years ago!!

The single on the HitNRun store is the picture disc and not the purple vinyl.

The only way to get the picture disc is in a bundle.

The whole store disappears from what I understand.

I ordered the disc / tshirt combo. I REALLY like the old school symbol shirt, though...

I ordered the 7" only from Electric Fetus. I had no interest in a t-shirt I can't wear.

Got my Son the Symbol shirt in Black, White for me. Got my GF the UPTOWN Sweater.

Plan to order cds, vinyl of full releases when they release them. I would buy a guitar if they sold them through the website. What I have ordered, the books and thought they were nice for collection.

For me it is not monetary, I would pay a lot for a guitar and a good amount for music and books. I just don't see myself cluttering my house with stuff I don't want. What I do look forward too is the music cd, bluray releases and the new books and if they release musical instruments.

I thought the books were excellent. To me, that's legacy merchandise. Intruments and craftsmenship too.

I just cringe and people jumping over each other for fridge magnets and ping pong balls.

I get that, but I do believe the estate is not looking to do that. So far, they have issued things in a decent way. People bark about them "bilking" for money, but what exactly has come out? A greatest hits compilation is a given when a band either breaks up or a solo artist dies (even TLC is still performing but issued a GH when Left Eye died. It's a record company thing.

MJ's estate did the same thing w/ the 25th anniversary of BAD, with a 7" of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" with the original spoken intro - an element removed on subsequent pressings (which is another reason I had hunted down the original pressing over the past decade and finding it, because they aren't marked any differently).

This 7" is a nice item to really put it out was a proper Prince song. Even though he did a live version in 1992, I think this one could easily become the definitive Prince version of the song. It's a nice piece to have. In some regard, the estate has listened. They released a bunch of unreleased things on the PR album, which was worth the cost alone. Whatever is coming in September I hope is going to be a great release. The little merch on the Paisley Park site is typical things I don't consider legacy material either (except those books, which are so great!).
