What happened?

I seem to remember paying $100 to join some club...

At this point, I can't really say it was money well spent.

Too bad you, apparently, forgot what you paid for.

you haven't gotten everything the club is going to give yet irishecho. Besides I would've paid that price for my good seats in D.C. and the soundcheck.

Club? What club? I seem to have forgotten about it too. I'm never one to bitch about it, but I think last year's approach was much better. At least you got something to look forward to every month. They have 5 months to get out 3 more cds...it took about 5 to get just one out!

I'm not surprised you are wondering when the next cd is released after the killing you made off of e-bay by selling ONA. What was it sold for - $81?

Yep...got to look forward to monthly bitching about the downloads not being up by the 15th of each month...got to look forward to bitching about the server being too crowded...got to look forward to bitching about having their download times reaching 12 hours...got to look forward to bitching about having their connection disconnected with 90% completed...got to look forward to monthly complaints that not every Prince fan has access to the internet, and therefore he should be sellin' CDs instead of downloads...and got to look forward to monthly bitching about the quality of the videos...

(Sniff)...I miss the good ol' days.. cry

They have 5 months to get out 3 more cds...it took about 5 to get just one out!

Actually, they have 7 more months, not 5...and if we get the next CD this month, they'll have 6 months to deliver 2 CDs...not exactly worth worrying over, imho...although I'm sure someone on this site will come along and call me an asskisser for feeling this way..lol..rolleyes

The recent "1+1+1=3" live teaser from NPGMC suggests that the next Club offering is coming soon. I'm hoping for a live CD featuring the best of the ONA Tour or perhaps one of the Xenophobia shows (a DVD release of one of those shows would silence Club critics forever).

But it does seem eerily quiet at the NPGMC site lately. I can understand that he needs a break from his insatiable "fams," but I kind of miss the rambling random thoughts that would appear from time to time. Did we complain once too often? Probably.

One of the saddest parts of the NPGMC site is the retail section. All those categories with nothing new to sell! The best use of this section was for advanced purchase of ONA passes. Now it's a bit of a disgrace. I'll bet we could list a thousand things that would thrill the average Club members in the retail section. I'm going to start a new thread devoted to "Things I'd Like to See in the Retail Section of the NPGMC."

Oh, there's shitloads of ways the npgmc could be better...or at least more fun for members...although I'm thinking now that "fun for members" was never a thought in Prince's mind...

Good idea! I'll be looking for it so I can add a few suggestions too. Maybe we can compile the list and send it to NPGMC.

I am a recent memeber of the club myself and am not very pleased with the way it is being run..


For the money that we are all paying there should be more available on the site.. If he has a problem with getting the songs there to listen to (which I highly doubt given the talent I am speaking about).. There ahould be Pix or something that makes you feel like you are apart of the Fam...


I agree with the CD issue as well. We are approaching the year mark and only 1 CD...?

HMMM

Maybe I will have to think about reup confused confused
Keep Smiling!
