Hi I am just getting into Prince, my Ex left a few CD's Around the world in a day, Prince, LoveSexy, Sign 'O' The Times and High. I have been playing them and really started to like the music. I went to buy more albums and was told about NPGMC by the guy in HMV He said the High album was made up of downloads my partner had got from NPGMC. Is there any way a non-memeber can get hold of these downloads, does Prince sell them out to non-memebers? I am new to this computer thing to but I was also told that people sell'bootleg' (whatever?) on e-bay

PLEASE HELP

Some of the material that was destined for, or left over from, the projected 'High' album was available in a very limited way to non-members who either attended some of the Hit 'n Run concerts in the US in or the second Celebration. Additionally, some of the material available for download to NPGMC members, or in limited form generally on the website, has been released in stores: 'U Make My Sunshine', 'When Will We B Paid?' and '2045: Radical Man'.

You can possibly still pick up the single 'U make My Sunshine / When Will We B Paid?' from your HMV - it is also available as an import at:

The song, '2045: Radical Man' is on the Soundtrack CD to the film 'Bamboozled'. Again, try looking in the soundtrack section of your HMV or order on Amazon at:

A few people (irrespective of NPGMC membership) also purchased a CD via DJ Brotha Jules' outlet in MPLS which included 'Underneath the Cream.' Generally speaking, though, the material available for download from Year 1 NPGMC is not available for non-member purchase currently.Some people have sold some of the official CD singles which featured 'High' and other tracks also available for NPGMC download in year one. The prices are also usually 'High'.

The download tracks have also featured on bootlegs. Some people attempt to sell bootlegs on Ebay, and they are sometimes reported.
