yeah - I saw that at the weekend too.

Unbelievable. All that music for less than 4 quid!!

Virgin were having a mega sale too and SOTT was fairly cheap in that.

Hopefully it'll get people who've forgotten about Prince listening to him again...

i think i'll go an check this out.
the third disc on my copy broke.
it plays fine up till the begininng of The Love We Make then it stops

I saw this earlier in the week and it invoked a very strange reaction and chain of events.

The first was surprise and joy at being able to get a couple more copies (will it stop being produced a la TGE?) for such a great price.

The next phase was me suddenly wanting to become a salesman and not letting anyone pass without telling them what a great bargain this was and how Prince is still alive and kicking.

I then started feeling a bit ashamed and embarrassed that "the album he was born to make" was selling for £3.99.

Before I knew what I was doing, I was removing all the copies from the sale shelves and putting them back under the Prince section.

Explain that one to the assistant when questioned!!!

i live in atlanta guys what is hmv? i have never heard of them

Even at £3.99 I wouldn't say it was a bargain. Some of his worst work and I'd call it boring at it's best.

id say its well worth 4 quid! come on! 3 discs!! yeah supposedly sign is 7quid in that sale too, i remember the last one they did loads of his stuff was a fiver, parade lovesexy, dirty mind was 4 quid. i bought sign and saw a guy pick up dirty mind, i had to stop myself saying oooh thats a good album!!! i watchedhim and he bought diamonds and pearls with his girlfriend. oh well...!

The good thing about SOTT in Virgin was that it had been pulled out to the front of the shop on a promotional stand + when you walked thru the entrance you were confronted with about 12 copies of the CD next to each other. It was literally the first thing I saw in the shop.

great cd set, pick it up for any price and enjoy. The last great release

Is it the slim case version? 2 CDs in a 1CD-style case, or the full big case version?

You're kidding right...?

I'd pay £3.99 just for Soul Sanctuary

I'd pay £3.99 just for The Holy River

I'd pay £3.99 just for The Love we make

It certainly is not his best but come on, let's not talk stupid. 36 new songs...I guarantee that if it wasn't released you would be happy to pay £50 for a bootleg of it!

It's the full version. They've been going cheap for a long time. A shop in Cambridge has had them for £3 for ages.

this is no joke i seen it last week.

and my thoughts were if only peeps knew how good this was ! they'd buy it ! hey at this price they are actually giving it away ? no ?

ive seen it in the uk regularly for £6.99 occasionally in asda / wal-mart its been £6.99 for years ! and i thought that was a bargain ive bought 2 copies just 2 give away to peeps !!!

sadly this shows where p sits in the industry 2day triple cd at £1.33 a disc think about it !!!

Slimline - but who cares, I got my thick case but bought a few slimmers for mates!

Kinda sad that it's going so cheap. It probably means that unsold copies of Emancipation are taking up valuable warehouse space the world over.

I never heard of this... it was released last year?! WHF?
