That IS interesting. I have two copies of every Prince album ever
made: one to listen to, and one kept hermetically sealed for best.

Thats the great thing about Prince: he always sounds good on every
format. But I agree that there is a variation in sound between
formats, which is why I also own two copies of every vinyl, cassette,
minidisc and 8-Track Cartridge that he has ever released, too. One to
play; one hermetically sealed etc etc....

Growing up we thought it was a mental condition but with the advent of
the internet it has actually proved quite profitable for him.
