For the biggest selling album in music history? Prince got better deluxe treatment for an album he made well after his artistic peak that he never even released. Logically you would think the best selling album in world history deserves the most deluxe treatment any album has ever gotten.
I've been wanting a deluxe set in the same vein as the Sign o' The Times deluxe or the recent Bowie or Bob Dylan box sets
