One Night Alone

Why isn't "One Night Alone" the album (not the live one) available for download in the NPGMC? I would like to purchase that one. Does anyone know what it sounds like?
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

it's pretty good - a three disc live set w/ two discs of performance pieced together from different shows on the ONA tour, and a third disc that's a composite of different aftershow performances during the ONA tour. i'd try to find a good deal on it, cuz it's kinda pricey - but it's a nice little live box set for fans. nod

It's a set of largely unpolished piano songs. Really nice stuff IMO.
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

woops, i didn't read well enough, did i?

sorry 'bout that.

ONA is a decent enough album - i really wish he'd make it available on NPGMC's download page so more folks could hear it.

Wrong album....ONA is a piano album.

My guess (for the reason it's not available for download) is because of "A Case Of U". Since P didn't write that, he would have to pay Joni Mitchell for every download. Therefore less profit.

My guess is that old members would complain that this was the only music from 2002 not available in stores, and if it was available for $7.77/$9.99, people would complain that their $100 was a waste.

It's A Good Album..But A Short One Too 35-40 Minutes (I can't remember)
All Piano (demo type) Song's Xcept A Couple
There Are A Few Classics's On It (My Opinion)
Now Why It's Not For Sale As An Down Load...
I Think Some The Other Responce's Could Be Good Reasons..
*Note Some Tracks Were Downloads A Few Years Ago
And The Cd Was Givin To Members Free....
I Got 2 Copys.....
1.The Cd
And There Was A Free Copy In My O.N.A Live Box Set (That Made 4 CD's)

Love God,

Believe me, P could care less about the $100 vs the $7.77/$9.99. If he could see a way to make money, he would do it.
