Prince The Hits Volume 1 Exclusive Edition 180g Purple Vinyl Appraisal

Prince - The Hits Volume 1 (Exclusive Edition 180g Purple Vinyl)

This item is a vinyl record album, specifically 'Prince - The Hits Volume 1', presented as an exclusive edition. The album cover features a striking black and white photograph of Prince, depicted with his eyes closed and one hand brushing his forehead. He is wearing a distinctive jacket with intricate cut-outs or lace-like patterns on the sleeves and shoulder area. The title 'PRINCE THE HITS 1' is prominently displayed in brown lettering in the top left corner. A circular sticker applied to the bottom right of the album cover indicates key features: 'PRINCE THE HITS VOLUME 1 EXCLUSIVE EDITION 180g PURPLE VINYL'. This confirms it is a special pressing, likely of higher quality due to the 180-gram weight, and pressed on purple vinyl, directly aligning with Prince’s iconic color association. The album appears to be in new or near-new condition, still enclosed in its original clear plastic shrink wrap, suggesting minimal to no handling wear. No visible creases, tears, or scuffs are apparent on the album jacket or the shrink wrap. The crisp edges and flat surface further support its pristine condition. The overall aesthetic is clean and classic, typical of a re-release or commemorative edition. The item is securely resting on what appears to be a patterned textile surface, possibly a quilt or blanket, in a domestic setting.
