Hi, taking the idea from Brother915's topic,

what were everybody's first Prince items for the following:

7"
12"
CD single
Cassingle
LP
CD
DVD/VCD/LD/Video


Here's my response:

7": When Doves Cry/17 Days
12": Mountains (I can't remember clearly!)
CD single: Scandalous Sex Suite (Japanese)
Cassingle: Gett Off
LP: Batman
CD: Diamonds and Pearls
DVD/VCD/LD/Video: The Undertaker

hmm. I can remember the order of most of my first cd's, but the others will be tough. I'll think about this and get back with ya.

7" - 1999
12" - Kiss
CD single - the WB re-release of Little Red Corvette (dance mix)
Cassingle - Gett Off
LP - Purple Rain
CD - Parade, even before I bought a player
DVD/VCD/LD/Video - Camden Palace. Mica Rocks.

And;
MOST excited about the releases of;

7"; Thieves In The Temple. Danced myself silly to that.
12"; Sign Of The TImes, properly hyped.
CD single. New Power Generation; all those mixes moved me then, bore me now.
Cassingle; TMBGITW- Mustang. Cuz I did not hve the cd single yet.LP; Sign Of The Times. BEautiful art design. Ouch.
CD; Diamonds and Pearls. Working in the music biz gave me lots of extra's; esp the free hologram stickers (big ones) that I kinda held for myself. All of them. Horrid, huh?
DVD/video; Under The Cherry Moon; my fave Prince movie; too funny.

BTW - I was a diehard vinyl fan...I absolutely HATED cassetes. My last LP was "Graffiti Bridge"...I was sad when "Diamonds & Pearls" wasn't available on vinyl and finally broke down and bought a CD player.

7"-When doves cry
LP-Around the world in a day
12"-Mountains (I lost it!)
cd-Diamonds & Pearls
Video-Prince ant the Revolution live
Half of this stuff I had to save up my allowence to get.
I hated cassettes, still do, too much rewinding/fast forwarding, so I don't have anything on cassette.
