a year ago this week:

Monday, July 23rd, 2003:

An e-mail from NPG Music Club asks members to "help the cause" and send in "anything with a WB logo that was unofficially released during Prince's tenure at that label." Many examples were provided. The e-mail listed a post office box number in Vermillion, Ohio, to where fans could send the records, but there was no mention of a reward, reimbursement or compensation. The Prince fan community responded very negatively to the request although most fans simply laughed off the idea that they would send in expensive, rare recordings simply out of respect for Prince.

Wonder why you never hear anyone saying "Wow, I'm sure glad I mailed all my rare prince maxi singles off to Vermillion Ohio!"?

Tom said:

Well, apparently the people who did send it in got a free T-shirt! Bet you're jelous now !

toejam said:

ooooo....

Lights went out? Light? What light?

Ain't nothin changed....if ya'll paid attention instead of hatin on the NPGMC all the time you'd know that Prince is STILL negotiating a contract for the release of special editions of past WB's albums.

Still negotiating? Do you have any details?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

That was a year ago already???

Thanks for making me feel old.

FunkMistress said:

You old? Never baby.

I just didn't think I was already at the point where a year could fly by me like a week!

P.S. Was he really that fine? Did you get a picture?

FunkMistress said:

Yes, he was really fine. I didn't get a pic last night but I will Sunday night.

Prince probabbly wants to scare WB Execs. He demonstrates how crazy his fans are, that they would even go as far as to mail back their rare collectable Prince CDs on a whim if he emails them to do so. He will then dump boxes of these CDs on the desk to illlustrate this point, then threaten to send these rabid lunatics after them if they don't hand over his music...

I think you're onto something there, Tom.
