No need to introduce this item, ain't that the truth?

I'd like to buy THE original record, label number WX 147.

U.S. or German edition does not make any difference, as long as it is the original one.

Thank U so much for all your help.

Good luck !!

IIRC a member from housequake (streetmusic) sold his copy recently, on ebay, I think I haven't seen one in the last 2 years !!

Just in case, so U won't forget about me.
I'm still looking for it and I know it's out there, waiting for me

I might have an extra copy of that album, give me time to check my stash and I'll get back to u.

an extra copy of an original 1987 Black Album ... and you need to check that ???
WOW

Are U serious? The original from 1987?

Sophianestesia said:

Hi, how do you know if it an original copy? I bought one in 1987, and as I live in Germany, could it be the original one? Anyone got a link on a detailled description? I would be willing to sell it (but I fear it could be a boot). Sound quality is great...

Thanks

Dirk

Hi, Dirk

U can compare your copy with the pictures U can find here: www.theblackalbuminfo.com and find out if your record is original or not.

Sophianestesia said:

Well, dusted my copy off tonight, mine's got a red vinyl, so chances are pretty slim that this is a "one-off specially designed for Prince"

I see.
By the way, sorry I messed up with the site. It is www.thablackalbum.info and not the other I posted before.
But U managed to find it anyway.

no i was kidding... sorry there is only a few of those around...and they dont come around to often.. i do have 2 orignal 94 release vinyl

Yup turns out that I have an original and a Promotional Only copy but I will respect the rules here and not offer to sell them, especially the Promotional Copy.

talon said:

Well, U're not gonna sell the original because U don't want 2. Not because U're breaking the rules. This forum has been made for Sale/Trade.

and Talon is probably speaking about the 1994 re-release, since it is highly unlikely you forgot you have a 1987 Black Album promotional copy in your possession .....which is worth $ 1000.00 +
