it could be a Richard Clayderman cover, with some modern fonts just to try to be hip. But it´s very corny as a whole...

Cool!! Thanx 4 Asking and letting us know PurpledoveUk.


Please tell me you people are joking ???? Why on Earth would you expect there to be only 4 songs ???? I don't get it. Are you totally paranoid about being let down by Prince or what ?

Its a CD okay. Of songs by Prince. You can get it by joining the club for $100 and you'll get 3 more by the end of the year.

No-ones putting a gun to your head. Join. Don't Join. Your choice. But stop WHINING.

The cover is kinda weak. It just looks "thrown together". Hopefully the liner notes have some interesting photos . . .

It really doesn't matter though, does it? As long as the music is good.


As it has that snap-closed cover, I'm not expecting there to be much if anything in the way of liner notes or lyrics.

No one is complaining I was only pointing out that this is an album length cd not a Single length....as the agreement doesnt specify any length that the 4 cds are going to be.

For your info I dont think I could be blamed if I did think NPGMC were out to screw me over (WHICH I DONT) because my experience with tehm last year was a disaster....Charged twice,trouble getting Rave etc etc. This year however it has gone very well so far - still got my fingers crossed that a World tour will happen but I wont hold my breath after last year.

LOL @ you peeps.

You're so silly. OK now, what's wrong with the cover? Let's be really specific. lol I think it's cool & interesting. It'll be fun to look at it up close & personal once it arrives. Wooooohooooo!

I think the type on the cover is kinda s p o o k y. Does anybody else think so? It looks like the kind of type that could easily be used on the front cover of Phantom of the Opera or something like that. Cool. cool

I wonder why they/he chose spooky type? eek

I think the spooky type (long, narrow & pointed) flows well with the long, narrow stalk & pointed bottom end of the symbol. And, conversely, the pointed type is in direct contrast with the round smoothness of the eggs, the round top on the symbol, the round sunflower and the softness of the heart shaped nest. I like that. The type definitely stands out to me. There's a lot in there if you're willing to really look at it. It's neat. Maybe Prince will reveal some of "his secrets" regarding this cover at the Celebration if someone gets the chance to ask him. That would be great.

I really like the TRC cover as well. It's very nice. But, I tend to be drawn to graphic design more than illustration. Personal preference. I like this cover. biggrin

I think that this cover is a lot more interesting than some of his album covers of late (Rainbow Children excepted). Rave Un2/In2's cover was as cheap looking as NPS and Crystal Ball. This at least appears to have some kind of cryptic meaning, which I like in an album cover.

Hey...a trend has begun...2 Prince albums in a row without Prince's face on them....I think the album cover art is fine...at least it doesn't look like NPS or RAVE or Lovesexy.

ok now let me see
TRC DOES HAVE Prince's face on it - on the side
- or do you mean only on the front cover ?

cuz you didn't say that - you just said album.....



Ok Does ONE album without his face on it make a trend ?

Forget about the cover, what do these samples sound like? I'm not sure I understand the concept behind the album, is it a live recording of the most recent tour or something else? It says something about voice and piano so does it mean only the second half?

Just found something interesting out - Unless you have received an email confirming dispatch you can assume that your copy hasnt been mailed yet.

I just got an email from NPGMC and they said that they liek to wait untill they are sure your copy has been sent because people get angry if they are told it is on the way when it may not be.

Still Im sure It'll be worth the wait. smile

Hello.
My name is Anastasia K. and I'm a designer.
I just read your story about Prince at
www.princefams.com
What can I tell U. Prince/ or his workers (I don't
know 4 sure) stole my art ideas 4 his new tour pix.
He he. Who cares?
We sent a presentation 2 Paisley in January.
That's life.
He's a thief himself.

ANASTASIA K. ?


I've noticed your art before.


You are very talented, but, I was wondering what's up with the pictures, "after the muse" and "sensual everafter". Your view goes from paradise to a land of desolation. I don't think of Prince's music this way.

Hauntingly beautiful? Please!

From, what I see...it looks terrible. The type selection sucks. Like they're running out of fancy type to pick out on their computers.

Maybe it will make sense when we get all the CD's. BUT it's the second if not the worst cover since New Power Soul and Emancipation.

But I won't talk anymore about it until I see the whole package. Should be in my mail box soon.

The cover is a very bad piece of work... something like a inferior student at a low-rent graphic design college would come up with for his or her term project, whereupon he or she would be given a failing grade and be forced out of the design college and into the college of custodial arts, at least for as long as it took to throw the "art" into the trash bin.

There is a problem with ignorant assumptions made about other's preferences with no knowledge or evidence to support the assumption; the problem is that they are just that... IGNORANT.

Personally, I was not terribly fond of the "Lovesexy" cover nor the album for that matter.

I may be a real weirdo, but I thought that "Sign O' the Times" was his best album cover.


It would behoove you to not make baseless assertions or assumptions in the future, as they make you look like a real ass.


OR

You could have been attempting to make a joke... it is sometimes hard to tell on the message boards. Sometimes I like the jokes that people make and sometimes I don't. If this was a joke, it fell into the latter category.

OR

You could be a tremendously homophobic individual trying to imply that I am gay in an attempt to make yourself feel better about your closet existence by transferring your secret fantasies onto another person and living vicariously through your imaginary images of them engaged in various sexual acts with members of the same sex.


Well, which is it? I guess that we can either get along or get into a really inspired flame war... I am up for either.

I like the cover art. it DOES NOT look thrown together! i'm sure it's meaning is signifigant to prince. it is very simplistic, sophisticated, elegant looking. the piano alone, plays a big part in the cd. i really dont like the cover art of trc, or atwiad. tooooo fussy and too colorful, like the 60's hippies posters.
May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. hug kisses
