STORE
This page originally appeared at http://members.aol.com/valsadie2/princestore.htm - see explanation for new location...
This is an affiliate store set up in conjunction with my web page, Diamonds and PURLs. These are links to the available Prince merchandise that you can purchase at the internet store Amazon.com -- photos, if available, are included. Using these photos is included as part of the affiliate agreement and is perfectly legal.
I really set up this store to prove a point -- see Val's Musings at Diamonds and PURLs for more information. But these links are real (in keeping with the affiliate agreements). If you really do want to buy something Prince-related, read on to find out about these alternatives to a certain official online music club I could mention... As some people seem to have forgotten, on the internet, you have a choice. You always have a choice.
I am both an affiliate and a satisfied customer of Amazon.com. It offers competitive prices and excellent customer service. With this store, I have always received my orders within a week and have never had a problem with billing. If you want to buy Prince records, books, or any other materials, I can readily recommend placing orders with this vendor. Feel free to read the profile for Amazon.com at Bizrate Guide, which tracks various consumer aspects of internet vendors; it is rated very high.
If you have any questions or comments, please forward them to me, valsadie@aol.com. Any monies I make from this (affiliates receive a percentage of a sale), I doubt I'll be keeping for myself in any way. I'll probably give it to a charity, or donate it to the legal fund of someone unfairly named in a ludicrous lawsuit -- you know, six of one, half dozen of the other...
Quick List Access Amazon.com's discography of Prince records here. See below for direct links to Prince books and records which are available for immediate purchase. |
These are here in alphabetical order (I was going to go for chronological order, but my memory broke down in the 90s -- of all places! -- trying to remember the order of the Gold Experience, Come, and Chaos and Disorder. In any case, with Prince, isn't it all relative anyway? So it's alphabetical order, baby!!).
I also decided to just put all the products together, whether visual or textual or musical. It gives you an idea of all that Prince is responsible for producing, whether directly or indirectly.
More often than not, the record links have 30-second sound clips, usually in the RealAudio format. Amazon.com lets purchasers of a product leave comments for future buyers.
In doing these searches for the various books and records and videos and DVDs, I did find a few quirky records which are, yes, Prince-related. See the entire list before you go!

Do Me, Baby!: Austin Does Prince (no picture available) (By far the quirkiest album I found. I'm assuming these are country artists from Austin, Texas, rerecording a handful of Prince's songs--! Amazon.com has RealAudio song clips. "Delirious" and "PartyUp" are just noise -- but "When Doves Cry" and "Sometimes It Snows in April" sound downright poignant. Check it out! --Val) |

Purple Reign by Liz Jones (Liz begins this book with her fairly recent one-on-one interview with Prince, but from then on it's mostly stitched-together quotes from other publications' interviews -- a discussion on the book with a friend of mine went, "Ok, that Wendy Melvoin quote is from 'Rolling Stone,' that Levi Seacer quote was in 'Guitar,' I think," etc, etc... But I like the cover photo!) |
