Anyway- The packaging is pretty nice. Cardboard sleeves with the pix from the website at each "world". The only difference is that "Crimson and Clover" replaces "The Morning After". Enjoy!  You dont need church if you have Prince.. Prince is jesus LOL | |

I live in the UK. We don't have Target, and no one knows this album is out. Seriously, my friends are muso's and love Prince's stuff... they have no idea this album even exists. Come on Prince, spread the love. He spread the love quite a bit last time putting "Planet Earth" in the newspaper AND only playing the UK that year. | |

I used it on the cover of my lesson plan binder last school year. The kids say it looks like me because I have a wide smile! "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing.

Bought three at a LA target.The CD display was cool, I like the floormat. I asked the cashier if he had any posters or promos for sale. He asked me to leave my number, he would call me when the display is taken down. [Edited 3/29/09 18:29pm] Say it's just a dream...
U open up ur eyes and come 2 realize u simply imagined this So u lean over and give her a kiss Here on earth, here on earth, with u it's not so bad Here on earth, here on earth eye don't feel so sad Stay right here | |

Aventura, Fl... Okay, so I took my time getting there, (9:55am) and headed straight for the Lotus display to pick up 2 cds, (one for Kevin at work). I was feeling a bit excited but totally at peace for not having endured the stress of joining the website. The salesperson gave me the stank-eye because I asked for one of the displays when the promo was over. Oh well, the indie wrecka-stows always let me have 'em so I didn't see the harm in asking. For anybody still wondering why the big box retailers love this sort of deal, I defy you to walk out of one of these stores with just the cds. I also picked up a floor lamp, some cute beaded sandals, and a bottle of drano plus some socks and skivvies for my son, Then I threw everything in the back of the car, ripped open the package and put Lotusflower in the player. Ahhhh...heaven on earth! Both of the Prince cds are excellent. Even the Bria joint was better than expected although Prince still needs his ears slapped clean off the side of his head for daring to compare her to the queen that is Sade! Anyhoo, I got home and listened again with my 21yr old son, (wearing his new socks), while I made him put the new lamp together, (since he's the one who broke the first lamp), He likes Lotus a lot, but he loves Mpls much better, especially Chocolate Box...Elixir, not so much. Exactly. I planned on going there and spending the 11.98 + tax and I ended up spending 48.53! Go figure! I have to agree with your son, MPL Sound is the shiznit! Only felt good with about half of Lotusflow3r but about 85% of MPLSound. I haven't even touched Elixer yet. [Edited 3/29/09 10:51am] I know, right? I spent well over $100 in that place. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

Ok just got back from getting my Cd's. I bought 3 off them. I usually only buy 2 copies of all his stuff, one 2 open, one 2 keep sealed in case It goes O.O.P and i damaged the previous. But i had to by 3 cuz it's affordable. My Roomie needs one lol  .
but then i ended up spending almost a hundred dollars cuz i got sucked into shopping, had to get some blu ray movies, then some shampoo, and hair gel, and the we passed to food isles, and i was hungry so i started buying junk food. lol | |

Bought mine around 2 this afternoon. Went to the electronics department saw the signs for the album but the album was not in the electronics department. A worker found me a copy near the counter and told me the cd's were at checkout. Haven't listened to the cd's yet, ripping them onto iTunes. Excited to hear all of them. wwww.myspace.com/chessvalentine | |

Anyway, here's my story: I'm in Grenada in the Caribbean, no Target, very very few closet Prince fans, nothing Princely down here AT ALL 
So now I'm patiently waitin to hear from an orger who said he'll see wat he can do (meanin he'll try to send one down for me). If he can't, I'll have to ask one of my cuzins in NY to cop it and fedex it down for me. I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh | |

I drove to another state today and found a Target. When i ran in to buy my copy of Lotusflow3r, i saw lots of empty spaces on display.
Nice to know that my neighbors are digging Prince too

I got two copies at the Target in Van Nuys, CA around 2PM. Same displays as the one pointed by others here. I saw one female customer with a CD while I was browsing the CD section and when I was at the check out stand, a male customer behind me was also in line with a CD. Likewise, I ended up buying more stuff than what I came for-- mainly DVDs. I spent over $80. "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

Went to Target in BKLYN ... there was a display downstairs as well as upstairs I purchased mine upstairs(electronics dept),ANDDDDD The commercial came on!!right while I was on line to pay 
I do suggest buying 2... or as soon as you get the sleeve home remove the cds altogether to protect the pacakaging.One thing I hate about this new covers is they don't last at all. I LOVE MY CD! It was still strange buying a PRINCE CD at Target.The ambiance of a true music store was missing  I miss Tower records and im going to miss Virgin too. | |

Are you freakin' kidding me? This is the weakest packaging I've ever seen from Prince. Pretty artwork and I don't spose we can speck much for $12 but damn, not a liner note to be seen. What's up wit dat? I wouldn't give a shit if he just had a typed up piece of paper stuck in there but when I buy a CD I wanna know who's playing what. This sucks. As for the music, I've only been through Lotus Flower once and other than Feel Good etc. I'm not too impressed. Maybe other tracks will grow on me but I haven't been this unexcited by a new P disc since... well, since Planet Earth which I didn't even buy. MPLS is on now and it sounds a bit more promising. I'm not a hater so please don't attack me. I just prefer my Prince funky. If he never made a rock song I wouldn't miss it at all. Different strokes for different folks but leavin' out the liner notes is an unforvigable sin in my book. | |

notice on the back of the sleeve you'll see the T-SHIRT members will recieve.... looks decent and understated enough for a 30 something  I like it it doesn't look like it comes in various cuts, I could be wrong
I prefer a baby-tee but the plain cut will do [Edited 3/30/09 1:01am] | |

I have to say that I'm impressed with the packaging for the music - it's very slick. Prince was not just trying to skimp or cut costs, not at all. When it was in my hands, and I looked at the back where the songlists were, I felt very much like I was holding an in-store album creation, if that makes sense.
When I got to the Target, they had a power outage, but the registers were still on (got to have that backup generator to keep them going, don't they?) I thought it was quite interesting - I didn't see the album right away, but as I walked towards the electronics section, and as I was walking past the registers, there on the floor was a copy of the lotusflow3r cover graphic! Then when I was leaving the store, an employee was checking our packages like they do at CostCo. - he was a big ol' black teddy bear and he said to me, "So you picked up that new Prince." I affirmed and then said, "it rocks." He says back, "really???" and in haste, I told him that it was like a modern version of the 1999 album (ducking from the tomatoes ya'll might throw at me for saying this.) Cool experience. | |

 8.625% sales tax; not bad. Our sales tax in Chicago is 10%! Bought mine here in L.A. while vacationing and thankfully, it's only 8.25%. "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

I tried staying awake all nite 2 b the 1st 2 buy the cd this morning. Ended up falling asleep at almost 5 am,and woke up at near 11 am. Checked the org,looked at the Target ad in the newspaper,and prepared 2 head out 2 buy my cdz! Had 2 stop 4 gas  ,then HURRIED 2 Target! Made a beeline 2 the electronics dept,took a pic of the display,and headed 2 the checkout with my 3 copiez. A customer behind me was buying the cd 2!  Target also advertised Pepsi 12 pack productz @ 5/$15,with a free $5 gift card,so I bought that as well. I applied the $5 2 my cd purchases,and started bumpin' the music az soon az I got back 2 the car. 2 Prince  Oh,and I also inquired about buying the lotusflow3r rug thingy on the floor display,but got a negative. I'll try again when I go back. Funny how we're all thinking the same thing. I also checked 4 the 3121 fragrance,but the store didn't have it. Nice thread,chocolate1. Oh,there was also a nice display of the cdz up near the checkoutz,and the cashier was like "I take it ur a fan?"  [Edited 3/29/09 23:02pm] | |
