You may remember I e-mailed the RNRHOF and offered to lend them some of my Prince records. They e-mailed me back today saying they are definitely interested!! I have to e-mail them a list of what I have and they will get in touch with me. This is so exciting :)

Impressive, DJ! To think, a (former) possession of yours might wind up in the Hall of Fame! :thumb:

They'll still be his possessions Triv... he's only lending his collection ;) I think Daffy's too big a Prince fan to give away his treasures :lol:

Anywho, cool news Daffy! :verycool:

Roem is right, I would never part with them...it will all be a loan. I'll keep everyone abreast on what is going on.

They have made a wise choice, for there is no wiser Prince fan than DJ!!!!! Well done my friend, I'm really proud of you, as a fellow fan, and as a Prince fan there would be few higher accolades than this!!!! :)

Don't worry, I have them all on CD too :lol:

I have two choices right now, I can go to Cleveland or they will come to me. I would like to go there because they have offered a complimentary tour but just moving into a new house and being close to Christmas, I don't know. I'll see if maybe we could do it after the holiday season.

CD singles:

Thieves in the temple
Cream

I was a little suprised they didn't want more of the picture discs I have or the 12" single for "Let's work" which is very rare (I bought it for $16 at a used record store but have seen it go for up to $150 at record shows) or the promo copy for "Why you wanna treat me so bad", I payed $90 for that record.

Maybe they already have some....

The lady I have talked to says they probably won't use them all but they would like to have a big selection to pick from.

I will be going to Cleveland on December 27th (my birthday) to get my VIP tour :)
