In all honesty, I believe it was the cover of the album that hurt his sales. Although we can appreciate the artwork, it could have been on the inside.
Cool Art just doesn't do it sometimes. Prince's Photo should stay on his covers.  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

They have to try to get rid of them some way. Maybe I'll pick up another copy to hold on to.  **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Seriously, if they are selling it for $4.99, that tells me they paid under $1 for them. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Um, at stores like Target and Wal-Mart you can find many Cd's and DVD's for 5 bucks. So what? You are really going to let a price tag change your mind? "New Power slide...." |

That does not tell you anything as you obviously do not know what you are talking about. I am a retail exec and I know for a fact that Target didnt pay under $1. | |

Whatever....that just means they have made their money. When you go to the site that manufactured the cds, for 900 single discs in the tri-fold cases, it's right at $1000, so it is possible for the quantity that it was less than $1 per unit. It's like finding Emancipation at the Dollar Tree for $1! [Edited 1/27/10 18:30pm] [Edited 1/27/10 18:35pm] **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

What? That does not even make sense. Actually, it makes perfect sense. Prince won't make another dime off those CDs whether they're 5 bucks or 50 bucks. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

your maths are wrong. Each CD is worth exactly $2.45 each. The packaging is worth 10 cents and the Bria coaster is free. Erik blah blah blah |

i recently saw lotusflow3r selling at Target for $9.99 and thought that was a great deal!!!... considering it is still selling very HIGH in toronto. i had also checked walmart... it was $43.00 there and hmv has it listed for $39.99... http://www.hmv.ca/Product...04210.aspx
the cd is expensive and considered "Imported" outside the states because it was exclusive to Target... eye would grab some copies for $4.99... what an unbelievable price... something "does not compute" | |

It's a pretty awful record. What do you expect? The production is tired. The sound is dated and the lyrics are lame. On top of that the sleeve design looks like he did it himself. Once again, Prince does what he does best. Controls every aspect of his career. In effect, steamrolling it into the ground. Business as usual. $4.99 is too much. I got it for $1.98 | |
