Noticed something about our first cd (ONA)

Dont know if this has been discussed or anything, but eye noticed that he has at the bottom.

"For the latest music and news from Prince and the New Power Generation- www.npgmusicclub - JOIN NOW!

Why put that? wouldnt having this cd mean we have already joined??

Seems to me this will be in the non member retail.. soon:)

Have you also noticed that for a 2002 membership you get a CD that the date on it says 2001?

I just noticed this today too. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising, he has to print out plenty of discs to accomodate everyone who might join before the year is up, and even then, it's probably more cost-effective to print a whole shitload, when he knows he'll be able to unload all the leftovers on the non-club members.

I don't know about soon. Maybe eventually. Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic is now in the
non-member retail section and this was, 1st - sent free to 2001 members, 2nd - placed in the member retail section for 2002 (when I got it), and now is available to everyone who visits the site.

There must be some small print somewhere that says members will get new music first but this doesn't necessarily mean it will only ever be available to us.
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

Seems pretty clear. biggrin Members get it first - which leads me to believe others (if they choose to) may also get it, but at a later time.

I joined in mid-Feb 2002. I guess it was only a 10-month membership this year. And P only has 2.5 months to send us the remaining 3 cds..
