Good spot, and noticed in the UK both HMV and Amazon have it discounted too:

D&P SDE on Cd is £69.99 and the vinyl set is £149.99 - maybe these should have been the prices to start with?!
There may or may not be something coming!

I have the LP edition of this and I have to say it basically killed my Prince listening for the best part of a year.... to me it's the first big misfire of the Super Deluxe Editions.... the b-sides etc feel incomplete, and with the vault tracks there's just swathes of them that are junk... like, really bad.

And the remaster of the album itself was a dud.

This release actually made me like Prince less (!!) - which I never thought would be possible.

The live show is good, but, eh.....

My vinyl set is now for sale. Never would I have imagined this could be the case, as someone who was always a 'give me everything he did!' Prince fan.

What s the point in buying that album on vinyl ? It was conceived for a CD release.
Concerts and unreleased tracks are a joke on vinyl. Just a sucker thing, especially when the master and sound are exactly thé same nowadays on those releases.

I agree I do buy vinyl for new stuff but never box sets for the reasons you just said also because of costs but how often do I go back and listen to a alternate take of Cream or whatever
