Prince - Around The World - West Germany target CD

First CD release of the 1985 LP. Nine great tunes, including Raspberry Beret. Originally issued in a cardboard sleeve (the disc housed in a cloth inner sleeve) which was set into an experimental longbox-sized cardboard booklet, which contained the liner notes. In this case, the longbox is missing. The mini-LP sleeve was trimmed (on the top and right side) by the original owner (a common occurence, as the original packaging did not fit into standard CD shelving) and fit into a standard jewel case. Part of the longbox has been cut to fit the jewel case as a back cover. The original cloth sleeve is not present. The label side of this disc features the highly-collectible target design that was used on Warner-Elektra-Atlantic (WEA) family compact discs until about mid-1985 (although there are some exceptions), thus indicating a very early pressing. The sonics on these early pressings tend to be superior to the modern overly compressed remasters available at retail today. Again, there are exceptions.

Winning bidders will have the option of having their CD's shipped via first class, or priority mail, domestically or internationally, in a cardboard-reinforced bubble mailer. Priority mail can also be shipped in a box, but prices may vary. Please note that the shipping and insurance costs provided below are an average, and rates to your location, depending on shipping options, may vary slightly.

IMPORTANT: If you purchase more than one item from us, please wait to pay until we send you an invoice. We will combine items to save you shipping costs. Please note that orders containing three or more Compact Discs cannot be shipped by first class mail. For two or more CD's shipped domestically, media mail is an option. To keep international shipping rates down, we can ship multiple CD's, well packed, without jewel cases.

Insurance is extra...we are not responsible for uninsured items once delivered to the U.S. Post Office.

Because this has been an issue lately...if you have special shipping or packing instructions, please inquire as to the possible additional shipping costs prior to purchase. (For example...if you want one CD shipped in a cardboard box, it's going to cost more than the standard first class shipping to send out.)
