ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
$120 for 'Prince in Hawaii Gift Box'

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Prince sold out every show on his nationwide "Musicology" tour except for a Blaisdell Arena concert in 2003.

But that hardly means the man's got no love for Hawai'i fans. It'll cost you, though. The "Prince in Hawaii Gift Box," available only at his online NPG Music Club, sets you back $120. But check what you get: A 142-page hardcover "Prince in Hawaii" book documenting his stay, a Hawai'i tour book and T-shirt, a CD single of "Controversy" recorded live here, a poster and (here's why we really want it) "Play In The Sunshine" custom-blended incense.

No surprise, it arrives in a royal purple gift box.
