Gold Nigga - Is it actually any good? Gold Nigga is the only Prince/NPG album I don't own.
Damn I wish I'd purchased it years ago when it came out 
Anyways, I see copies going on ebay for anything between 80 to 130 sheets, so I guess this is now much sought after. I'm not bothered about parting with the cash for it, hell I've spent enough over the years. I have a question though for any orgers who own this; Is it any good?, and how much is does Prince contribute to the tracks? Little? Yeah, right. It might be little but it's loud | |

I think it's quite good.
Everyone says the only track worth listening to is Johnny, which is good, but I like Black MF in The House and Deuce & A 1/4 too, and of course Call The Law & 2Gether. The two instrumentals Oilcan and Goldies Parade are also great. If you like the band sound of  , it's very close to that IMO.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a sucker for a major chord | |

It was nice back in the days but I haven't listened to it for years.
For sure it is not worth more than 10 or 15 dollars. Don't spend too much money on it. | |

It's pretty good, but not great. Check out your local used cd store - that's where I bought my copy for about $8.00. | |

I recently got a CDR copy and it's good. I recommend the similar Exodus CD by NPG as well. | |

I live in the UK and it's virtually impossible to get a copy in stores. I assumed this was why it was so expensive to get via ebay. From what I hear, it doesn't warrant £100 but maybe that's the way it is, unless I get a copy. I'm not a big fan of Tony M, is he all over this album? Little? Yeah, right. It might be little but it's loud | |

If you are a fan of Tony M, you'll love Gold Nigga. It has a few cool songs but it is a fairly lame disk. THE EXODUS HAS BEGUN. Now that is a great NPG album. The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.

It's never been available officially in stores in the UK. I presume you've seen a second hand copy or a bootleg.ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

Shafty - DO NOT pay anymore that $10 for it. It's not worth it. Wait until you find it for cheap. It's an ok cd, but it's not worth anymore than $10. | |

I don't think that's going to happen. You may have lucked into a copy but not that many copies were sold so it's not likely he is going to see one used for that price. On ebay the price is much higher. | |

Lovemachine - you are probably right. It's too bad because I got mine about 3-4 years ago for under $10. I can't imagine paying anymore than that for it, but I guess us die hard fans will pay almost anything for Prince music. | |

At the garage sale they had cases of them that they were selling for $3 each. | |

No, It's pretty awful.
'Exodus' is the one you want. | |

There are actually TWO versions of this album floating around. The one that is typically going for the higher dollar is the version with a song called, "Guess Who's Knockin'." This track was removed at one point, and the album rereleased. The version without said track, which I own, you can get for a decent price. The rarity of the first version is what makes it so pricey.

I would try www.gemm.com - I'm always surprised at what I can find on there for cheap. | |

I think Goldnigga is great. Even better than EXODUS. It just sounds more raw to me. | |
