Holy Fucking shit it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen on many levels. Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of prince.

The other day I was at a thrift store and I found a photo album that still had some pics in it. They all come from New York City in what appears to be the 80's.

The tiles were 3 for $1 and with any product with such a steep price tag they come with a 1 year warranty.

In Sept 2002 a guy from Montreal named Warren Hill was at a Chelsea, New York Street sale where he picked up a couple records: a Leadbelly 10", a Modern Lovers LP and a record marked "Velvet Underground. 4-25-66. Att N. Dolph". He paid 75 cents for each album. So after doing a bit of research it turns out that the record is extremely rare.
