    I was able to get hold of another copy of this unique box. I no longer thought that was possible. Then, in the middle of last month, I received the message from Prince Estate that there was still one box available.
    Of course, I jumped at the chance. Especially at the regular price and didn't have to resort to one of the sometimes very inflated prices here on the platform.
    The quality of the box and the vinyls is outstanding. I can now say this after listening to all the singles. A clear purchase recommendation from me.

      This keeps restocking in his official store every now and then btw. I was able to get one this past week.

      Edit: Mine came in today and it wasn't numbered. So I'm assuming the ones popping up in the store recently are leftovers in case people got damaged copies from original shipments last year, and they're just now being sold off. Just FYI for anyone else.

        Anyone else have center holes just a smidge too small for a typical adapter? I can’t play any of these. (And before you ask, I can play every other large-hole 7” in my collection with this adapter, so that isn’t the issue.)

            Mastering on these singles is nicely done, but, after playing the individual singles, I do have an unfortunate issue with my box.

            The 45 for "Money Don't Matter 2 Night" in my set is pressed completely off-center to the point of being unplayable. If you haven't checked all the singles in your box yet, I would give this one a spin to if yours is also manufactured incorrectly. I have a message in to and am waiting to hear back from them.

              For historical context, the US retail was $129.98 before shipping and tax.

              (AND…that $97 sale on Sept 5, 2023 was a scammer)

                This box set is stunning!! The quality and care put into this is beautiful. The vinyl sounds amazing and u can tell it’s been remastered. I’m a little obsessed with the front cover pic. It’s just gorgeous. The Prince Estate did not disappoint.
