      I don"t know why, but there was an original vinyl edition at the time but I can't find it nowhere on Discogs. I bought it for my shop when it cames out, I perfectly, the sleeeve was the same as the CD not the bootleg one black with a sticker for fake promo version. It was regularly on sale on Amazon. I sold all my copies, so I can't help in finding references but it does exist for sure !
      If anybody can help on that one - thanks

            2nd Album Revolution #2:

            After the FANTASTIC rebirth of "Prince" due to "Musicology", he went for it again with "3121"...

            For what I , this was inspired by a Mansion that he rented in "Las Vegas"...With that being said, the album is sure fire "Prince" on a platter...

            The "Title Track" THUMPS HARD with some help from old friends in "Michael B." on Drums, and "Sonny T." on Bass....

            "Lolita" brings some Classic "NPG" vibes with the "New Power Generation" chants....

            "Te Amo Corazon" (Spanish for, "I love you, sweet heart") is a smooth Jam, with help from new friends in, "Joshua Dunham" (Bass), "Cora Coleman Dunham" (Drums), also, "Herbert Ureña" and "Ricky Salas" (Percussion, Bongos, Congas & Timbales)....

            The first Crown Jewel, "Black Sweat", THUMPS EXTREMELY HARD, even with just Drums and Keyboards (I accidentally left my Volume up when I got out of my Car one day, then I came back in with a enger, cranked my Car, and almost BLEW HIM AWAY!!!!)....

            "Incense And Candles" and "Love" are straight up Dance Jams....

            "Satisfied" follows the same pattern as "On The Couch" from "Musicology"....

            The 2nd Crown Jewel, "Fury", ls labeled as its sounds, with FIERCE Guitars and Keyboards....

            "The Word" expresses "Prince's" Love for "God's" word, "The Bible"....

            "Beautiful, Loved And Blessed" (featuring then Protegee "Támar Davis"), is a beautiful, but "Funky" Jam, that's also kind of smooth.....

            The 3rd Crown Jewel in, "The Dance", is improved on the original from "The Chocolate Invasion"...It is more Musical, and "Prince's" Vocals on this one brings TERRIFIC DRAMA...

            The last song, and 4th Crown Jewel is "Get On The Boat" with help from The " Dunham's", tried and true friend, "Sheila E.", and a mess of Horns ("Candy Dulfer", "Greg Boyer", "Maceo Parker", and "Ray Montiero")....

            This album is just a little, little bit better than "Musicology", even though at this point it didn't matter...By this time, "Prince" had reestablished himself as a Mega Star, and it was not about to slow down...He was more confident than ever before in the person he was, and people really started to enjoy learning more about his personality (and he became more approachable as well)....

            With that being said, this being on Vinyl is a treat, and it has become a "Prince Classic" in its own right......

              Beautiful production. Dynamic sound, good high end, bass that challenges the depth of my desktop speakers. Gotta hear it through the big stereo for it to sound right. Literally zero production problems. And that purple vinyl is real pretty on a white slipmat with good lighting.

                I sure hope the estate gives us "Super Deluxe" additions of "Prince", "Controversy", "Dirty Mind", "Around the world in a Day", and many others.
                The Estate did a FANTASTIC job on the Super Deluxe editions of "Purple Rain", "1999", & "Sign 'o The Times"--the bonus material is stellar and every bit as good as the original album selections IMO.

                  Received couple days ago and just spinning now. Firstly, so nice to have an issue without the massive brickwalling on the CD version. I am not sure this pressing and mastering is as good as say Musicology, slightly relaxed sound not as slamming as the others. I will say the MPO pressing quality is excellent, bottom line is I'm glad to have this on LP.

                    Official or not.. Still 100x better sounding pressing than the Legacy reissue.

                      Not sure what the raving pressing reviews are all about but heard two of these already and although the sound range is ok, it is also a quite noisy pressing across different sides. Real shame

                        MPO can sometimes cut vinyls as good as this one... But only sometimes...
