Description
13 LP Vinyl Prince Sign O' The Times Super Deluxe Edition Box Set W/ Book.
Box set has been opened and outer case / packaging has some minor wear and tear (see photos). All vinyl appears to be near mint or mint (possibly some minor surface scuffs on one of the Live In Utrecht records, none of the vinyl has any deep scratches or anything affecting use whatsoever). Sleeves are all in good shape, they may have very minor wear and tear but nothing significant. Book is included, missing DVD (possibly missing some inserts but they should all be included). Included items are all 13 LPs and the 120 page hardcover book.
The Super Deluxe Edition brings fans all the audio material that Prince officially released in 1987, as well as 45 previously unissued studio songs recorded between May 1979 and July 1987, and a complete live audio performance from the June 20, 1987 stop on the Sign O’ The Times Tour at Stadium Galgenwaard in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
