    My pressing sounds absolutely wonderful after a good wet vacuum clean. The BluRay-LiveShow is very touching and definitely a great addition. The whole content (photos etc.) is the perfect treat for Prince-fans. The only thing I'd criticize is the packaging itself. I wish they released it in a classic boxset - I fear this flimsy overcomplicated eccentric Quadruple-fold may fall into pieces in a few years - also pretty difficult to protect and store securely.

      Vinyl pressing sounds really quiet and clear. Nice to listen to. Didn't pay UK price, got it from Amazon for half of the UK price!

        Not sure what happened on the price point for this, US$ 99 feels high and the original UK price was £149, compared to the previous Prince Estate releases this feels high, only 10,000 were released and it is "new" plus a blu-ray, let's see what happens to the price in the future
