Australia always misses out the most with almost everything I've noticed. few people want to travel that far with all their equipment, yet they always find time to go to Japan as there's more money to be made.

Let's go see him in Japan next tour! nod

I ordered mine on Amazon on April 18th for $39.49NZ including $26.99 NZ (14.73 USD) for album and $12.50 for Shipping and handling, I was quoted a May 19 to June 12th arrival, it came through today April 28th so very pleased. I think I may have the first hard copy in New Zealand. I am really pleased, so far its worth the wait and makes PE and Indigo Nights look tired.

Serioulsy all the overseas people should try Amazon its great!!!!

Oh and the official release here has not eventuated yet, I was quoted late May (Apparently swine flu is holding anything up from North America)

Well, as it costs (depending on conversion rate) less than £50 to join the 'Lotusflower' site for a year and the 3 CD set (in a measly cardboard wrapper) was going to cost £30 in the UK anyway, it is pretty economical to join and receive the albums that way.

The Lotusflower site is not a bad deal at all for UK residents.



That's one of the reason's i joined LOL

Huh?
When you join the site you don't get the CD's.
You get a few downloads.
For me that does not make it the same.

And with the crappy exchange rate $70 is a hell of a lot more to us than it was a year ago.

With a UK offical release happening soon hopefully we may get some kind of promotion over these waters, fingers crossed pray



Back in stock in 10 days at HMV....no legal ban anymore ?? eek

UK official release... eek



Maybe there was just some distribution problems...Prince probably wanted a official count or recount. When Prince was on Tavis Smiley, he mentioned that somewhere between pressing the cd's and the fans...Cd's have been lost. cool

I think a lot of people in US are buying the cd and re-selling on e-bay for international buyers - so it actually helps US record sales which seems to be Prince's main interest at the moment.

I could be wrong but I think Prince knows this???

After having mine on order for 4 weeks the trader then told me they were still awaiting stock and had no date on arrival, so i cancelled and ordered it through amazon.com which came within 10 days for £14 including postage. am enjoying the cd immensley,is it me or does it sound way better than the download.



cool

I got the same K'Nan album sent through with Play Trade, I filed a dispute and got the LotusFlow3r CD sent through a few days later. Just kick up some fuss and it all gets sorted... In the end I didn't even have to send back the K'Nan album, so got that and Lotus for less than £8 smile

If anyone wants a free K'Nan album, let me know (I have no idea who or what he is)!!
