Sexy M.F.'ers...The Prince Fan Thread

Nice! Any other source for these? I can't seem to find anything.

No official announcement yet, but it seems some retailers must have secretly gotten early shipments. This is an eBay seller that sold these two releases. I'm not sure these are mock-ups. Judging from the catalog numbers on the hype stickers alone, these look like authentic Sony-distributed USA reissues.

Seems like these pictures took all the big Prince blogs by surprise. Dr. Funkenberry, Violet Reality, etc. But they seem to agree these look real. Look at the pictures on ebay. These are issued by Sony, licensed by WB. Just waiting on that official announcement.

So someone sold these on eBay, and not for some insane price. But it seems they were not supposed to yet? Is this a seller just going rogue or making a mistake?

One sold for $75 and one sold for $90. I mean they’re not super insane but that’s not cool for things that haven’t come out yet.
 
I think we all know that's not an insane price given the (temporary) exclusivity. We all know the crazy prices people are willing to pay for something that is unable to be had en masse.
I'm not justifying the actions of the seller, but the price was reasonable all things considered.
I guess I was more curious what the sellers angle is if they're not trying to make bank off of it. How'd they get it - fall off a truck? Because if they're a legit store/seller then would they not burn a relationship w a distributor by doing that?
 
Cool, but weak. 😕

Today we are pleased to announce the wider reissue of Prince's 1995 masterpiece The Gold Experience and 1998 acoustic album The Truth on black vinyl. Both albums will be released by Legacy Recordings on June 9.

The Gold Experience was the first full-length Prince album to be credited to his unpronounceable symbol. The Artist shined on the opulent ballads “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” and “Gold” and the defiant single “Eye Hate U." Preorder yours now: Prince - The Gold Experience

Interesting. Whatever happened to that Diamonds & Pearls chatter? I mean, wasn't some seller off loading early copies on eBay or something.

Also...jeebus...$58/pop for 1LPers.

I guess this is a hint of what is to come.
I'm assuming those are import prices, U.S. releases should be announced soon. Maybe🤷‍♂️

Frustrated with the D&P and Symbol deluxe disappearances. I'd really like to get answers. 😠

Yea I assume with most certainty that there will be cheaper (~22-30) US releases.

But it's Sunday and I've gotta have something to cry about.
