I just received my albums (yes I bought 2) and I just wanted to say I'm happy they're not damaged. Aside from the box looking like it was tampered with all my items were in tact. One of them is a birthday gift, she will be so shocked when she sees the vinyl is purple. Although I have a copy from years ago when it first came out I wanted a purple vinyl copy for myself.

This was my first Prince album. I was hooked on the music from age 13. After that i started collecting everything. I bought the purple version for two reasons. One it was to celebrate it being what got me hooked on Prince. The second reason was i bought it for my own birthday present.

Vinyl is great! Shipping box could be better. I ordered 3 copies, they came in a large box that offered no protection for the vinyls when a corner of the box is dented - all 3 copies are also dented in the same corner.

I bought five of the albums to use as a giveaway at our AMER Sales Meeting. They were a huge hit for all, and the purple vinyl was a huge surprise for them!

I bought it just to frame it and it is beautiful! The purple is perfect with the subtle design in the vinyl and the floral pattern on the cover is just gorgeous. I have decided that this album, even though so reasonably priced, deserves to be professionally framed so soon that's going to happen. I love it that much!

First off, the packaging and purple vinyl are stunning. I couldn't stop watching it spin on the turntable. But, most importantly, the sound quality is superb. It's recaptured all of its glory from the original as I remember it. A really great pressing and addition to my re-growing collection.
