At the end of the text it reads:

"

The 1994 Release

Prince finally agreed to let Warners release The Black Album as a strictly limited edition on cd and cassette only, available only from November 1994 through January 1995. It was released with a different catalog number, 1-45793, and wasn’t commercially released on vinyl.

"

But, I have a vinyl copy.

Not colored, but black.

I bought it new on cd & vinyl at the same store in Germany within that time frame.

Are they only speaking of the U.S. release?

Welcome to "the org", nayroo2002… life, it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop

All things considered, $15-$20k doesn't feel like enough for something of such historical significance.

I agree. The last one is going up for auction next month. Will be curious to see what he gets for it.
