The best deals I can remember are The Pope 12" for 20 STG.
Once I traded the Aussie Automatic 7" and Sheen Easton's 101 CD for The Family CD. Can't complain about that!
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

Uhm, let's see, probably that Prince comicbook, the one of
him with his yellow cloudguitar on the cover in front of a
backdrop of flames.

Printed, I think in ehm 1991 or something I guess.

I traded it with someone who didn't care much for Prince
and thus got it for a packet of gum and a quick fumble.

lol

$250 each, or $250 for both? anyone that went to ona last year paid $250 for two...

i paid $250 each for 2 tickets in 1993 when i was under the impression that this was prince's last tour... they were nosebleed seats too... oh, and i had to drive from astoria oregon to san francisco too... lol

us admirers are so gullable...

Tracked Lovesexy CD, from Germany. I got it really cheaply (few pounds) from an import store and it meant I could finally enjoy the album properly (before that I'd relied on a cassette version).
