MADHOUSE FANATIC...

For at least 13 years know, I have trying to find Madhouse 8, 16, and 24 on CD. I know that this is a LONG shot, but can anyone help me?

Thanks!

You must not have been looking very hard, because Madhouse 8 and 16 CDs can be found on E-Bay almost any day of the week for the right price. If you go somewhere else they won't be any cheaper. 24 would be a bootleg, so you'd have to know someone that distributes those.

None of us here do that though, right? We're all good people. smile

Never even thought about ebay! I always thought that MH was too obscure. Can I get the Family on ebay, too?

If you'd spend $100 or more...hmm

It's risky though. I won The Family for $39 and never received it.

your best bet is obtaining CDRs, they're cheaper.From a kind org member of course.

I have the vinyl, the CDs would be nice, but the prices are way too high to justify purchasing them.

Get the vinyl, rip it yourself, or download/trade.

I ripped my own vinyl a few years back, but recently downloaded 256k mp3s from the DCHub, so now I listen to those.

I would presume that you would get better sound quality from vinyl any ways since other Prince CDs from the mid-80s aren't all that hot in terms of sound quality.

And there lies the rub...

Genuine Prince CD pressings, (some of which are vastly overpriced) just have not been mastered properly by Warners. The sound quality is often brittle, flat and sterile, lacking the depth, warmth and clarity of the vinyl versions...

I sold both the Madhouse 8 cd and Family cd on ebay to someone 2 years ago. You can find anything on there but you may being paying for it.

See if you can find someone near your area to send you a copy of it. I'm sure someone will.
