"Australia didn't get it, New Zealand didn't get it, Canada didn't get it, Brazil, Japan, Hong Kong," Europe, really ?

Okay....I don't think he meant Australia, New Zealand, etc....were part of Europe...

He was implying that there were a lot of places...other countries and continents that didn't get it either....

Exactly.

I hope Isabell didn't think I meant it that way.

lol@ at those who think the album should be "improved" for US audiences Let the other countries have the WHACK version,but give us the good stuff,huh?

All countries should get a good album lol

I believe you, Militant. Why WOULDN'T he release it here? And (yes, I am well aware that a sentance should not start with the word "and") considering that many folks from the U.S. already have it in one form or another, why WOULDN'T he include a little extra something so as not to make us feel "ripped off" or whatever? Fucking A people, is this NOT a Prince FAN site? Quitcherbitchin! Why would you just ASSUME that Militant is full of shit? Where is YOUR proof? I just love how everybody has all the answers on the internet.

I, for one, am down with Militant.

European countries that were left out of its covermount release:

Italy

Spain

Czech Republic

Turkey

Finland

Switzerland

Iceland

Sweden

The Netherlands

Denmark

Austria

Russia

Hungary

Norway

Bulgaria

Slovakia

Poland

Ukraine

Then add non-European countries like Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Canada, Mexico and Brazil to name a few.

Nonsense. There is absolutely no rule against beginning a sentence with "and."

there is in that the sentence must still have a subject

I think what some people don't understand about Europe is that it's a host of a lot of countries whereas the United States is just that...a country of states. That's why it's an unfair comparison to think Europe "got it". Because if you ask someone from Switzerland if he got the new Prince album, they'd go "what new Prince album?" The UK doesn't represent all of Europe, neither does Germany, neither does Belgium, neither does France (though France, UK and Germany is all most talk about concerning Europe). I'm guessing Prince has a big fan base in the selected countries, either that or he just wanted to make deals with countries that still were selling newspapers and magazines overseas.

Actually, Switzerland got it with both the French release and the German release... I bought one for an orger in Geneva and mine in Nice!!

Why cant he just give 20Ten a proper release? He could have done like he did with planet eart. newspaper+record label so everybody would be pleased. What went wrong this time? And hes decision 2 not release it on the net is one of his most stupid moves ever.

Who cares, though?

English is my first language. I am well aware of what cryptic means. And your "somebody who did something with someone told me something about someone's something" jive is cryptic at best. If you shouldn't be running your mouth about shit because the person who told you either 1) didn't want you to or 2) would get in trouble for leaking information, then STFU and calm down with your baseless assertions.

Too many "somebodys" and "somethings" in your post. Let me break it down for you, son.

Person A worked on the album and I asked him for information.

Is that so hard?

I never said I shouldn't be running my mouth, and I'm HARDLY going to "get in trouble" since the person actually HINTED PUBLICALLY MORE THAN ONCE about the same shit I asked them about it. It doesn't even take more than a few brain cells for anyone to figure out who I'm talking about.

The people still asking for a US release date, that's who.

People want it. They don't want to have to go to eBay or a Uk friend or wherever to get a copy. Whether you like it or not, other folks (like you, me and whoever) are collectors. They want the album, in hand, not digitally only. It's understandable. They're fans, and completists at times.

And to that I say: tough shit. It's on the damn internet. Find it, get it, enjoy.

Thanks. Anybody who has talked to me for more than a minute knows I don't have time to sit around making shit up. I share some information, people don't want to believe it, fine.

It's people like that that make things worse for people like you. Maybe next time I get some information I won't be as quick to let other people know because it's tiresome that people want to try and "call me out" like I really don't have better things to do than talk bullshit on a fucking message board.

Moving on.... I personally love the album.

I can't confirm that there absolutely will be new material added, it just seems likely to me. At the absolute least it'll just be a US-release in a standard jewelcase or digipack. Kinda like the difference between the US release of "Planet Earth" and the UK cardsleeve covermount. A proper digipack with additional inside artwork and credits. For any kind of widescale physical distribution, that's what would be needed, minimum.
