I was in a record store once and they had this gold box with the 0(+> on the top. It wasnt the love symbol album, it was about 2 cd's by 2cd's wide. It said it had live stuff and studio enclosed. I believe the box was aluminum. The symbol was pressed and raised in the cover. Any one know what this was?

Ive seen the disc's outside the box but is it the demensions I spoke of? 2cd's x 2cd's?

Yeah, I picked this up years ago. The discs are gold plated and it has a 12" x 12" full color book. A good source for 12" mixes. The packaging had to cost some dough to make. It's a 12" x 12" aluminum tin with an embossed symbol on top. Looks like something that would hold Prince's brownies.

I think all bootlegs are limited pressing so, yes, it's 'deleted'.

Try record fairs and large 2nd hand stores.

hello, I have the gold box of Gold plated cd's you are speaking of, are they rare, does anyone know how much they may be worth, I bought it years ago, there are 8cds; and a booklet that goes with the cds, I really like them,the Gold tin box has Prince with raised letters along with 1980-1994 on it,love,peace and always be wild

I wanna cry. I bought both of these back in 1995 for a total of like $300. I lent them to someone who was putting together a Prince party at a local club, and never got them back.
