For starters, The Slaughterhouse, The Chocolate Invasion, Xpectation, The War, and C-NOTE. Aside from The War, these have never been on CD.

One Nite Alone Piano & Voice.

If Eye Could Get Ur Attention single is also there.

I guess what I meant to write is : Stuff that is only available on Tidal and has never been released anywhere. "If Eye Could Get Ur Attention" is the only song I'm missing. Thanks.

Most of what I wrote were never available anywhere else than the NPGMC or Musicology Store, i.e. they're not available anywhere else currently other than Tidal.

If you see any CDs of Slaughterhouse, The Chocolate Invasion, Xpectation or C-NOTE, they're fake. They were only ever digital downloads.

Yeah I got all those albums digitally from NPGMC back in the day. Good looking out! Thanks.

Interesting! Just for giggles, I went and looked at my "offline mode" in Tidal. It turns out you CAN download from to any device - tablet, smartphone - that supports it. Apparently you toggle between online mode and offline mode, so that if you're in offline mode, you can ONLY listen to the music you have downloaded for that purpose.

I'm going to give it a whirl, see if it works on my iPod. One thing in particular I noticed is that 3121 isn't available for purchase anywhere that i can find? It's hands-down one of my faves. So I'll try that in offline mode on my ipod.

And the 3 Piano/Microphone tracks. Black Muse (edit) if you're into that.

What the...? How the...? I tried searching for that, by name by partial name, even for Pop Life hoping it would lead me to the album...nothing. How did you find it?

Thanks!

Google.

Tidal's site sucks ASS. It's as if they took the DNA of all of those that created the shitty Prince official websites in the past and created the worst site on the internet.

Seriously, their search engine doesn't work for the store. Any site where you have to go to Google instead of using the site's search engine is turrible.

Hell Yeah NPGMC!!!

Man, I tell you: "Fams" on this website rock!! The Estate should hire some of the Prince.org fams to manage the Vault/Estate. You guys (and gals) are amazing! Such attention to detail. I am impressed. If Judge Kevin Eide (Judge of Carver County Probate Court, MN) has any questions about Prince's estate, he should ask YOU!!

Somewhat related...somewhat unrelated... I was scanning the org at somepoint. I recall seeing a thread about Tidal and new records being available or something. There were pics/screenshots of what appeared to be live bootlegs butnwere available through Tidal. I have since looked for this thread again but to no avail. I cannot locate. I beginning to think i was daydreaming or maybe even regular dreaming this as I can find no evidence of said thread...nir any evidence if new live releases available in Tidal. My confusion is mounting...

There was a tread about this. But I never saw the albums on Tidal either. Which is good.

You can still buy/stream them on Google Play and that's a shame.

Don't confuse iTunes (where P's music IS available with Apple's streaming service). P's music is available anywhere you can BUY it. You can only stream from Tidal.

Here's the best explanation: "Apple May Buy Tiday and Your Data but Not Prince's Music

Whilst most of us are mourning the loss of a great musical genius, JayZ is telling people that Prince's catalogue is in good hands. To add insult to injury (my opinion) Beyoncé is red-doing Darling Nikki for that thing called a Minaj. Changing all the words and making a mess. Again, my opinion. Does anyone know if Prince really did leave his catalogue to Tidal? I want f**k all to do with Tidal. I'm buying from other sources. As much as I love Prince, I'm not giving them a red penny. What's the real deal. Someone please fill me in. [b][Edited 6/2/16 17:54pm]

It's streaming.

Prince music has always been available for purchase on the internet on major purchase sites like iTunes and Amazon.

It was STREAMING that made Prince and Taylor Swift remove their catalog from sites like Spotify and Apple Music

That's right folks, up until 2015, Prince was also on Spotify.
